A group of anti-rezoning protestors gather outside Calgary City Hall. Waiting for their "hell no-house, we won't row house!" chants
@markusoff If you couldn't afford to buy your house at market rates today, then you're quite literally demanding the city keep people like you out of your own hood.
@AlexRMcColl @markusoff there's this neighbourhood in my city where the income stats show that the people living there can't afford to buy a house there, by a LARGE margin. and it's not gentrified or any of that, it's small houses on small lots and they're almost all 50+ years old. and it's not unique.
@AlexRMcColl @markusoff Look, the nondescript house someone wanted to redevelop into two houses used to host strawberry socials many decades ago, so it is now heritage protected. This is not a work of fiction.
