    If they're willing, I'm sure we can have a thread showcasing their work!

    Can't speak to the quality of his builds, but anyone familiar with his sh*t in Toronto, knows you don't want him near your city... Maybe he's just a lucky developer, that the heritage buildings standing on his site seem to mysteriously burn down to make way for his highrise towers.. 2022...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    At a certain point, giving the people option to go into treatment was viable, as many drug users were still functional and able to hold basic jobs. But as others have mentioned, the drugs now are so strong, we cannot reasonably expect these people still have the capacity to make informed...

    Also hail is rarely as bad in the centre of the city. And they definitely design for hail. When the last storm that took out terminal B at YYC, the much newer international terminal had no issues.

    I'm assuming it's this? Looks more modern, but wish they'd integrated the directional fish, mountains, train and fort in the background. From a city video: https://www.calgary.ca/bike-walk-roll/plus-15-wayfinding-improvements.html

    I think it's also a style of play issue. Nylander and Tavares seem to do better in the playoffs because they play a more North-South puck carrying game. Matthews was injured this year, but him and Marner's game typically relies on finding gaps in coverage which are just far fewer in the...

    This seems to mention replacing signs in buildings? I'm assuming the ones with different background for different directions? Odd the story doesn't have any pictures of the new design.

    This one is where the Varsity apartments used to be. Were there commitment from UCPG to have affordable family units for students with families? I'm typically not a fan of public housing, because we have drug and mental health issues where we can't possibly implement a Singapore style public...

    Also hate the people that talk about how much pressure the Leafs are under. What pressure? Boston traded their captain one season after winning the President's Trophy, Vegas didn't sign their Conn Smythe winner, Colorado traded Rantenan over like 200k? The Leafs won 2 rounds in 9 years with the...

    Wonder if they start rebranding Loblaws to Superstores. The Loblaws name has a pretty bad association with it now, and Superstores got "Real Canadian"

    Statscan numbers

    Have no sympathy for investors. Just like I have no issues when the market price rose and they made a profit. Although I do think there's a lot of non-investors impacted as well. I'm in the age cohort (late 20s/early 30s) where people are getting into home ownership. And I know many people that...

    Very likely that to be the case. We don't really have that level of hotel here and there's no US Embassy. Good riddance.

    Statscan numbers

    Not all housing starts are created equal. A lot of the housing starts have been tiny condos in big towers to accommodate new arrivals to the city and temporary residents. As those numbers fall off, that particular housing type has seen drastic declines and wad "overbuilt". SFH are still quite...

    I don't remember seeing lots of homelessness or drug overdose issues in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Definitely not communist states either.
