I would say identity politics are a factor more now than in recent years. Harris may or may not have been a great politician, but the fact that Trump actually got voted in a second time after some of the fiasco‘s from his first term, including the Jan 6th event tells me the Democrats need to...

Sadly, the vibe around d downtown has changed negatively in the past couple of years. Thankfully high growth in DT and Beltline has offset the negative, but if the area stopped growing it could be vulnerable to a downward slide. My brother was living in the Beltline in the Underwood tower with...

The park looks busy. They’ve done a good job putting together a nice suburban area with with an urban feel. Reminds me a lot of U/D

Nice to see some change happening in that part of the city. Now with 17th straight into the Stampede grounds I bet we’ll see more.

I don’t mind the quirkiness of this one.

Darn. I always look forward to the updates.

I would love to see this get built, not because I’m in love with the tower design, but getting rid of a parking lot and having retail fronting 4th Street directly would be very nice.

I’m surprised the city approved a design with only blue and white. I thought all designs needed a minimum of 3 beiges from Calgary’s official palette.

I’m really liking the way it’s turned out. It’s a nice change to see some thinking outside the box.

I agree, the thing is, downtown revitalization will never work unless people are part of the equation. We know having office workers as the people part of the equation doesn’t work, the people part of the equation needs to be residents. Students and tourists also help, but there needs to be a...

It could be better, but most people won’t even notice. They’ll mainly notice the ground level, and it’s decent enough.

The missed bike lane was a major fail 🤦‍♂️
