Fix it up or tear it down? Renovating the Prime Minister's house could cost $38M, report says
The Ottawa Citizen

A story from iPolitics today revealed a potential plan to spend $38 million on renovating 24 Sussex Drive, the Prime Minister’s residence that was built about 150 years ago.
Renovations have long been delayed at the home, primarily for reasons of political optics: It just looks bad to spend that much money to improve your own living quarters. The $38 million includes “a new annex building with private quarters and a pool,” according to iPolitics.
Earlier, the Citizen reported on the dangerous conditions caused by the ancient wiring in the home.
The big question now: Is the home worth renovating at that cost? Twitter had some thoughts…
What do you think should be done with 24 Sussex?
