We need to get all the orders of government to create policy that can help increase housing stock across the income spectrum. We are no longer in the position to choose one or another. If you can please consider writing to your councillor, MLA, MP for more housing policy!!
Obsessed with geo rainbolt. Need that guy but urban planner version.
I think I figured out why some people are so obsessed with single family homes.
At our office, @JoelTiedemann and I are mostly spending any free time staring at our phone and laptops watching public hearings because we are huge nerds. Can’t wait to tell my grandkids I developed a hunch back from land use bylaw.
This Tsinghua university is the Harvard of china. Students try to get in by writing the gaokao standardized test. It is 2075 sq m in size and has 20k student body. Think about 10 million students write the examination and only 0.2 percent get in. The campus is gorgeous
I love visiting university campus’s around the world! This is at the prestigious Tsinghua university in Beijing! It’s gorgeous - caught this cute group of grads
Free garden pot workshop at good neighbour was a success!
Can we stop saying “silver bullet”? Very triggering to warewolves.
Panelist from the discovery house domestic violence shelter talks about housing being the number one concern of people feeling unsafe housing conditions. Shelters are full. We need solutions for families beyond basement suites and apartments.
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.
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…

It’s always cheaper to house people!!
Local resident debunks myths relating to property rights, and why higher density allows neighbourhoods to afford to upgrade aging infrastructure over time.
Lots of trees too - old growth ones in front of med density buildings
Really great bikelanes and bike infrastructure in Beijing - low cost bikes everywhere to rent
Inclusionary zoning is important for diversity, equity and inclusion of black communities to gain access to housing. Row housing would support ability to purchase a home, and also states the public hearing process to rezone lots have always pitted neighbours against each other.
Ward 7 resident in support of changing zoning to allow for more housing types! Cites the future of our city. Parking is not a problem that should trump housing needs.
Single family home owner supports upzoning in Calgary! Thinks it will improve our city in numerous ways! Great for the health of our citizens! People will have places to live!
Panelist questions “character” and how single family homes with front load garages are not architecturally significant. It’s neighbourhoods with diverse housing types and main streets that people flock to.
Hi from Bot Alice! I truly wish I was tech savvy enough to auto generate content as that would make my vacation more fun for my friends and also I don’t copy and paste anything. You can tell by the exorbitant number of typos I have in my tweets! To my lurkers, love you so much

12 units. Single family lot. Minneapolis. No elevator. No parking. Co-developed with Left Lane Ventures. Designed by Christian Dean Architects.
@monikafurtado It is the "land use bylaw". Anyone has the opportunity to assemble lots at any point. Rezoning for housing doesn't change that. The bylaw is written to be flexible for a # of outcomes. Under R-CG, you could assemble 3 lots and put a single family house on it. Lots of options!
Just to be clear: R-CG zoning does not eliminate single family homes. They won't all be torn down and anyone can decide to build one if they want. It's just adding a few additional menu items and leaves all the old favourites. That's it #yyc #yyccc
You are a young professional family moving to Calgary specifically to buy a single family home in which to raise your children. Would you buy now without any predictability of future development of 12 unit r-cg on the lot next door? Questionable. Chaos. #yyccc
I just learned how to make GIFs and now I think I'm going to make GIFs about all the things that matter to me, like making sure there is clean air in @yyCBEdu schools. #IndoorAirQuality #IAQ
@monikafurtado You actually can't fit 12 units on a single lot under R-CG. It's physically not possible. Just more misinformation from the uninformed opponents of the modest rezoning for housing proposal.
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…
Does anyone else feel weird about #yyccc public hearings with people passionately arguing on a pretty straightforward zoning change coinciding with *the provincial govt announcing it’s going to dismantle municipal democracy*? Shuffling chairs on the deck of the titanic energy?
Me watching the #yyccc blanket rezoning public hearings:
how are there low birth rates when everyone here is a big baby

Please. Don’t insult our intelligence. They already ARE accountable. Via democratic elections. Not by fiat from some narcissistic bunch of wannabe dictators. And trust me @RicMcIver , your day of accountability is coming next election. Remember Shandro? Madu? Uh huh. You’re next
It will ensure local councils and elected officials remain accountable to the citizens who elected them. That’s what Albertans expect, and that’s what we’re going to do.
Allowing people more freedom to do what they want on their land is.... communism?
@DanWMcLean No. Because plebiscites are non-binding and a public hearing still would be required. But then, you know that. You are just banking on Calgarians not knowing that. #yyccc
@DanWMcLean Says a councillor who never wanted to be in council in the first place. Lol.
Danielle Smith’s ultimate revenge on the Kenney Era UCP is forcing them to be the spokespersons for her worst authoritarian policies. Watching @RicMcIver on Bill 20 and @RajanJSaw on Bill 18, I wonder if this was what they believed their political legacy would be.
