Sounds like Flames have signed Zary, glad he didn't hold out!

I think these are the numbers they want, will depend on whether they can sell units, inflation due to tariffs, interest rates and a million other things. I still think this entire development is pretty pie in the sky, especially for a developer that's never built a building even close to this scale.

Stronger enforcement and actually holding people is key. Look at the random assaults that have happened in Vancouver lately, they are almost always someone out on bail. If a guy can assault a cop, then get out the next day and go chase down and beat a tourist, something is seriously wrong. I...

People associate those issues with downtown, and downtown is high density, so it makes sense to them. Most arguments are trying to find ways to justify opposition to a development, so people latch onto dumb ideas lol.

I see open drug use all the time, people don't even try to hide it anymore. Our lax enforcement is making the problem worse. I remember being scared to smoke a joint in public, not people inject in the middle of the sidewalk.

The idea is that it's a spot the dog can run around a little bit, almost like a mini dog park. If's gross though, a quick lap around the block is what most people will do.

I find cleaning a litter box much worse than picking up dog poop, plus the smell in the house is gross. To each their own though...

The Owners are local, but the chain is definitely American, so some of the profits are going south of the border. I know they serve Alberta beef, but the last time I went there (the only time really) they were definitely pushing the American beef. I tried it and wasn't super thrilled with it...

Looks like the city is starting on the Douglas Fir Trail stabilization next week. Should take about a month, curious how that will go and what they will be doing.

They need to clean them every week and I don't think they get cleaned every month lol

They did, dog was just panicking and found a way to squeeze through a gap apparently.

With UofC taking Nexen, it definitely won't be them...

I've enjoyed the cheap parking and medium sized trees in that lot before, but yeah, needs to be developed.

Very true, couldn't imagine someone just having a hard time surrounded by those with bad addictions or suffering a mental health crisis. We need housing for the actual homeless and treatment for the others.

Sounds like not paying consultants and contractors is part of their strategy lol. The owner is quite hated, I mean, someone did try to murder him a few years ago!
