A cautionary tale to #yyccc from someone who lived through LA and SFO housing crisis. what happens when you wait to implement inclusionary zoning. RCG is the floor not the ceiling. Fail to plan means = plan to fail.
In other countries, where gas taxes are high, large private vehicles are comparatively rare. Some places have also moved to reduce the appeal of SUVs and light trucks, mostly through higher-cost parking and registration. In Canada, though, such measures remain rare. Children hit…
@jimmydubyyc @westfraserEWP The dedicated volunteers of the BCT & MMBTS have invested OVER $6.5 MILLION DOLLARS and 100,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS to create this trail network. These trails are now attracting ~1,000 visitors per day on average! So yes, it makes zero economic sense to ruin it’s aesthetic value.
When I was doing my undergrad, we studied Edmonton’s housing crisis (this was in 2008) and how having large towers of low income housing away from amenities created a lack of vibrancy and integration of community (not regent park but not better)
A reminder to some yyccc members they are bound to act in the best interest of the city for all Calgary and it’s citizens
Correct, we have said it would support, not solve. When we are being met with the argument that we shouldn't contemplate this because it won't solve the problem, I had to question how people were coming to that conclusion. #yyccc

Opposition to density boils down to nostalgia of older generations for privileges they enjoyed from a world that no longer exists, largely b/c of problems they created and refuse to acknowledge. Now they're taking us all down with them, clinging to what's left as we all sink.
Allowing people more freedom to do what they want on their land is.... communism?

Flooding/paving wetlands is counter-productive to drought/flood mitigation. Native fescue grasslands work like sponges: absorbing massive amounts of water in flood, releasing back in drought. Protecting the #yyc - Cochrane greenbelt will help, not hurt, water security. #yyccc
You’ve got stable housing, no one is asking you to leave it, no one is asking you to redevelop it. You don’t have any control over who your neighbours are now, and you won’t in the future. They are fine now and will be fine again.
The options for thr Bow River Dam are currently open for consultation. I've heard many constituents raiser concerns about all possible locations. Please share your input on the online survey AND email me with your thoughts. [email protected] alberta.ca/bow-river-rese…
Sincerely hope all those who spoke out about tree protection with regards to rezoning will consider speaking out about logging in one of K-countries best recreational areas. Do you care about this carbon sink and the animals that call it home just as much?

So far this week, we're hearing a lot of folks afraid that their communities are too fragile to accept even slight amounts of change. We agree! Sending it all back to the drawing board, wasting more admin time — it all fails to address the root problem. No organic growth.
The hypocrisy in this statement is truly unbelievable. The attack on local democracy is highly concerning.

After careful review, our @GlenbowRanch staff and board have determined that the proposed "Glenbow East" dam poses an existential threat to five Bow River parks, and would permanently end the dream of a Cochrane-to-Calgary Trail connection. #yyccc #ableg
@GlenbowRanch In the absence of Government of Alberta-hosted public engagement, @GlenbowRanch has stepped up to host our own flood mitigation forums. These events will inform the official position that we take in our advocacy and solution-finding with the GOA. 👇 #yyccc #ableg
You see, the foundation of Marxist-socialist politics is allowing private property rights and market forces to respond to housing demand so yes these arguments make a lot of sense and are very normal. #yyccc #HousingCrisis #UpzoneNow

There are no restrictions on building incredibly hideous giant boxes in these “character” neighborhoods. If we want to preserve character we should be looking at architectural controls before limiting density. This could be a community of stunning brownstones mere blocks from…
Opinion: Blanket zoning will ruin character of neighbourhoods like Rideau-Roxboro calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

11 year old panelist very simply states why RCG zoning is important and why she supports it. She is raised to help people when she sees someone needing help. The city needs to do the same to help people access housing in order to prevent more folks becoming homeless.
Wait, I thought single detached homes couldn't affect the tree canopy?!
3 single-detached homes in Calgary, on land zoned to only allow single-detached homes, become 3 new single-detached homes.

We are spending weeks of council time debating less than 3% change in our city at the MOST. And that change is at most 1m of height 🤦♂️
Calgary: great presentation by @wklumpen in support of Calgary's infill rezoning. Over 10 years, the change will be relatively modest. youtube.com/watch?v=n_Ttrw…

This is on my block. My neighbor Mike lives adjacent to it. I asked him what he thinks: “I think it’s fine. It’s needed. I’m sure mine will get sold to a developer at some point so it’d be pretty hypocritical to be against that one and then go do it myself”. #yyccc
The sense of optimism I’ve felt in the last six weeks is palpable. We’ve been conditioned to be against – against Ottawa, against frontline workers, against our neighbours. It’s time for us to be FOR something. For Alberta. For all of us.
A good question… West Fraser holds FMA’s (the right to log) on 475,000 hectares from Waterton to Sundre. The proposed 900 hectare clearcut covers only 0.19% of WF's FMAs. Many other companies have similar size FMA’s. There is lots of wood available elsewhere.
@BCKOR @westfraserEWP Where should we get the wood we need to build 4M new homes??
@PhilipTurnbull We’ll be sharing that in the days to come!
