More Strata Smoke & Mirrors

I just blogged about the increasing interest and pressure on strata smokers in Australia and Canada last week (see Aussie Strata Smokers are Huffing & Puffing).


And, now I've seen this new website in British Columbia, that lists smoke-free strata buildings for owners, residents and managers.

Called Smoke Free Housing BC, the site says  you'll 'find a list of buildings with smoke-free policies' and that you can 'explore the 'View Details' link for a description of each building's smoke-free policy'.  There's also a search facility for listings where residents can search the directory to locate smoke-free rental buildings and condominiums all across British Columbia and a register where landlords and strata corporations can list and promote their smoke-free buildings.  And, it's all free.


It's a great idea for strata owners and residents who want to live smoke free (and for those who want to still be able to smoke without persecution).  And, I expect we'll see similar sites develop elsewhere.


And, why not extend the directory to list strata buildings according other amenity and lifestyle issues like parking, children's facilities, noise, security, etc? 


Anyone want to create the strata building version of Trip Advisor?
