Plus with RD being on a floodplain, I would guess insurance rates are high, which is typically a large portion of a strata fee. Is that your experience as well? | RDE charge to our building is roughly $430k based on 4 buildings in our strata. Thermal energy charge is $44.97 per MW.h
For our insurance, I'll have to dig up 2024 insurance summery to compare to 2025, especially to compare flood deductible and cost difference but our water damage and sewer backup deductibles did double from previous year. Quote:

Smell of compost, I'd say i get a bigger whiff when crossing Knight bridge, never noticed any funky smell around the neighborhood or maybe I'm just used to it? The train tracks have also been decommisioned for some time now, maybe 3 years?

IIRC RD is supposed to be recollected waste heat from the incinerator down in the Fraser Foreshore industrial area.
A train still comes along every now and then, I can hear the horn, usually at 11pm at night. I'm a bit up the hill but I don't know how it is lower and closer to it.
