THATS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING! Calgary is red and red is Calgary! Calgary is the red team and Edmonton is the blue team this is a fundamental law of the universe

Replace the saddledome with BC place but with a saddledome shaped roof ezpz

There's no excuse. developers here are morons

There's no saving the design because the materials are going to be abysmal. Unreal that this is allowed to happen in Inglewood

Except reverting to pre-may 2024 zoning laws would needlessly add time and therefore cost to the development of townhouses. Could rezoning have been applied to targeted neighbourhoods where it is already happening? Sure, but then that would open a giant can of worms over which neighbourhoods...

No one is trying to build infill townhouses in deer run... rezoning didn't change where townhouses were being built it just makes it easier and less expensive.

The only way modular will catch on is with significant public subsidy. Housing is inherently cyclical which conflicts with off-site manufacturing which requires steady demand to function properly. So yes, it would only work if the feds were consistently building at a significant volume. But...

Modular is just a fundamentally flawed concept and it is not going to catch on despite what the feds think. We've been trying to make modular happen for the last 60 years and it simply has not worked. Houses are not cars and it's ridiculous that the industry is touting this as if it's a new...

HOLY SHIT WHAT Allies and Morrison is one of the best multifamily architects on the freaking planet there is no way we're getting a project from them

Good thing we're getting rid of rezoning 😮‍💨

Seton is a total lost cause. I just try to pretend it doesn't exist

Yeah it's an issue of population density. Right now there isn't the population density required to fill even the streets we already have in the area. It will take a long time before we achieve a population density that can fill them, let alone fill the streets AND an underground concourse
