I love TOD 👏

I even admit to kind of liking Toronto and its uptown, midtown, & downtown 🤫

But if we want to see reliance on "Nodes & Corridors" to solve our housing problems, here's where we're headed 👇

Not shown: Older areas like The Annex mostly frozen in time that have lost population #yyccc

Have spent the better of this week on the site Formerly Known As Twitter, I'm hopeful this website is nothing but sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops.

How are we doing? #yyccc #ableg #cdpoli

Johnston said: "Landon Johnston
@Landonforward14
The Mayor just said he has not had enough time to read the blanket rezoning submissions over the past few days, but has had time to read a the 350 page provincial MLA boundary change report... He says he has spoken with council members on DELAYING the next steps/vote until after Easter. This matter at hand has been in the works for months. I can tell you I have gone through the submissions and people want us to vote on this without delay. This is our job, the job we signed up for, the job you pay us to do. Maybe the mayor and other councillors need to prioritize right now. This is important. Keep the submissions coming even if we have to stay up all night reading them.".

Farkas responded to him: "There are a hundred or so Calgarians eagerly waiting to speak at our #yyccc public hearing. That means we need a few more days to hear from them and review their submissions. Tuesday and Wednesday are already very full Council days, so a debate and a vote are unlikely before Easter.

I understand your desire to close things up early and get to a decision, but I respectfully disagree. We can't cut corners at the public's expense. Hearing from the public is not a "delay." It's the work we were elected to do. People took the time to sign up and participate in the process and I will fight for their democratic and legal right to be heard."

Ward 14 councilor Johnston is mad that the blanket rezoning repeal meeting is taking a long time. Mayor Farkas says there's still people waiting in line to speak and they want to hear from everyone.

Why is it so hard to hang up the car keys? The system is set up to regulate drivers who depend on their cars rather than planning for alternatives which work for everyone.

As Calgary contemplates reversing densification of housing, this reality remains and ever growing issue directly adjacent.

Also relates directly to rising trend in car crashes. #yyccc open.substack.com/pub/lloydalt...

Braid: With crucial scandal report coming, UCP makes the right choice for auditor general The UCP was expected to rig the choice for new Auditor General in order to spike report on health spending scandal. Instead, they did the right thing.

Good news - UCP isn't trying to rig Auditor General report into health procurement scandal. They name hard-nosed A-G insider as new boss. Column.

RE: Repealing Affordability Policy at City Hall | Zoning Discussion at Council
RE: Repealing Affordability Policy at City Hall | Zoning Discussion at Council YouTube video by Vincent St Pierre

Tonight I joined city council to chat about the push to repeal the zoning changes that were originally part of the 39 recommendations of the Housing Affordability Taskforce (2023).

It was done on behalf of the Downtown Core Community Association. Give it a listen! #yyccc #yyc

I didn't think I'd be speaking today, but there's lots of no shows so looks like I'm heading downtown soon. I'm speaking on density & the cost of car dependency. #yycbike #yyccc

Key sections of the bike network have not seen a plow in days.
- 11 St Sw, unuseable
- Fox Hollow, unuseble
- Nose Creek from the substation north, rideable only for those with ninja skills.

Pathetic effort, @calgary.ca #yyccc

Day one of Calgary's rezoning public hearing bears striking resemblance to 2024 - LiveWire Calgary Day one of Calgary’s public hearing on citywide rezoning is in the books, and while there were some early kinks, it started hitting stride later in the day. The March 23 Public Hearing meeting of coun...

RCG zoning in Calgary is a playing the affordability long game. It’s longer than 1, 2 or even 3 election cycles.

This is where Alberta’s municipal election cycle and council’s willingness to re-litigate decisions sets society backwards.

Fair to say that a majority of the demographic mentioned in the article is the same demographic fighting against upzoning.

Upzoning is perfect, far from it.

Perhaps #yyccc needs to be mandating more seniors residences/coop/social housing gets built so these boomers have somewhere to age out to?

Could be! I am not too well versed on parking but perhaps it has something to do with all of the commercial buildings being converted to residential? Maybe the need for temporary parking just isn't there like it used to be? Good question.

I just finished this Sprawlcast episode and it was awesome! If you live in Calgary, it’s a must listen-to episode.

Oh and help fund The Sprawl! I do and it’s well worth it. 😀
