Tag: COVID-19

Apartment buildings under construction on Clyde Street in Halifax in June 2021. The new construction dwarfs an older building, which is itself only a couple of decades old. In the foreground you can see a bright blue cherry picker crane, and a yello tube through which trash drops into a dumpster. In front of the nearest building is a chain link fence, covered with multi coloured banners extolling the virtues of the construction company, the investors, and the future luxury accomodations. The banners are already worn and filthy.
