The land immediately surrounding the city limits is frozen... tied
up in Native land claims. Since it isn't clearly Native nor federal
land there is no owner available to develop or sell it. That will
happen someday.

 JW> The city could have made an accommodation somewhere but the real deal

 ML> What was the reasoning for the rigidity?

The Greenies on council want ultra energy efficient homes at all
costs and hate mobiles.

 ML> How far was a small community with no building codes?

We have the Native village of N'dilo right next door to us and
Behchoko (formerly Edzo and Fort Rae) 100 km down the road from us.
Some of those homes ended up in Behchoko but the demand was limited.
Those with high paying mining jobs generally want to move to
Yellowknife or Alberta as quickly as they can and those without jobs
will get a free brand new stick built house from the government if they
wait long enough. The NWT Housing Corp builds about four houses a
year there with federal grants and give them away to the poorest
people who are living in the most overcrowded conditions. If one
were move out of their relative's house and into a cheap mobile one
wouldn't be overcrowded anymore and would loose out on the chance of a
superior, free home.

      Title: Chinese Fried Catfish with Ground Pork Sauce
 Categories: Fish, Pork, Groundmeat, Chilies, Chinese
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 ts Sesame oil
      1 tb Corn oil
    1/2 ts Chile oil
    1/2 lb Ground pork
      6    Green onions; 1" lengths
      2 ts Ginger; shredded
      2    Garlic cloves; minced
      2 ts Soy sauce
    1/4 c  Rice wine
    1/4 c  Hot water
           Salt
      2 lb Catfish fillets
           Oil for frying
 
  Combine sesame, corn and chile oils in wok or large skillet.  Add
  pork and stir fry quickly over high heat, breaking pork up into
  smallest possible pieces with wooden spoon.  When pork begins to
  brown, add green onions, ginger and garlic.  Continue to stir fry
  about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, rice wine and water. Stir well and
  reduce heat to low. Meanwhile, lightly salt catfish fillets to
  taste. Fry, turning once, in another skillet over medium high
  heat. Continue stirring sauce while fish fries. When fish is
  cooked but not overdone (about 2-3 minutes to a side), remove to
  warm dinner plates. Sauce should have reduced to thick, syrup-like
  consistency. If too liquid, raise heat to high and continue
  cooking, stirring constantly, about 1 more minute. Spoon sauce
  over fish.
