can anyone please explain what the so called "impasse" is?

0It's high time for the Esto-House, Esto-Bank and Tartu College senior managers to get on the same wavelength, talk in the interest of our community and solve its activities-space problem in a reasonable and logical fashion!!!

The solution is simple. We either keep the house as is, or build new. It has become clear that "build new" at the present location is not an option, due to various restrictions.
Wake up, Estonians! Money makes the world go 'round. Let's get the pot of money together (we have middle class and wealthy Estonians who can squeeze out $5,000, $10,000 and much, much more) to create the nest egg. Pick a spot with subway access, this is crucial.
We do not have to be tied to the present Estonian House property, if it is chocking our community. What are the options of purchasing land for this purpose around the Latvian House? They have a LRT system being built nearby.
Build something of which we can be proud (a centre and condo with decent sized apartments, please -- it would be great to get an Estonian seniors residence alongside).
We have masses of intelligent and skilled people to pull this off -- please get off the sidelines and think of your community. The community is not dead yet, in fact the kindergarten population has had a boom recently. We have a huge population of people who consider themselves Estonian in the Toronto area – they apparently don’t think much of our present Estonian House, if they are not using it. Create a profitable business model for the new Estonian centre to sustain it into the future. We want a building where people will want to come and pay for their big events, such as weddings.
And talk of the whole community moving into Tartu College is short-sighted. How are you going to have a 600 person Christmas event there? There is not enough space to fit us all there. No parking worth mentioning for a huge community event.
Why do we not have a dynamic professional fundraising expert in place to get individual community member and government money in place for the new Estonian house project (Trillium Foundation, etc.)?? I’m tired of hearing that there’s no money to build what we want.
People, let's jump in and get this done! Time to stop "tire-kicking" and buy the car of our dreams.

6Yes by all means JUMP
In case you haven't noticed almost all Estonian facilities and camps are in need of HUGHGGG financial support. Only place that isn't hemorrhaging money is Tartu College. 600 people for Christmas Party when and where was this accomplished?
Granted this problem has been abscessing for 7 plus decades, but jumping will only worsen a bad situation.
