It’s 50 units replacing 4 houses with oversized yards, I’m good with the siding choice.

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 🤦‍♂️

This is one of my favorite styles of multi-family housing. The other being townhome style. The only thing missing from this development is a cycle lane on that section of 5th street.

I agree on the definitions of progressive, but I don’t see why we need that for property tax. I don’t believe it should be based on the value of your land, but rather on your income, that way, the wealthy really are paying, not necessarily someone who bought a house in a neighborhood that’s...

I agree, it’s not fair that inner city people with higher home values should have to pay more when they’re doing a favor to the city by helping control sprawl.

It wouldn’t shift to a regressive side if we are taxing based on street frontage, etc, only shifting to a more fair tax. I don’t see anything even mildly progressive with the current market value system.

Not for another 4 years at least. There’s nothing interesting enough there for me to visit there while Trump is the president. Even before the election, we weren’t very interested in going to the US. Back in September we booked a spring trip to France, Spain and Portugal.

I’m down with the white and blue.

I think the mesh is OK, it’s a little cluttered, but it makes the building interesting at least. It could end up very cool looking at night depending on the lighting.

I agree, the CRUs should make a difference. I remember when Irvine in Inglewood was finished at had a lifeless feel until the CRUs were filled. Today it blends nicely into the avenue. Might only me, but I find when the CRUs are empty I notice the rest of the building (good or bad points) more.
