Lots of fences up but not much happening.

The other fencing is directly south of this around an already existing building that Google maps has labeled Mission Square Apartments.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but there's blue fencing up around the buildings on 8th Street and 13th Avenue SW both the NE and SE corners.

Where exactly would the flames "walk" to? It's far more complicated than just moving the team because the owner doesn't get his tax payer money.

How can anyone not know the state of the rental market? It's on the news every day, including a recent article about Calgary experiencing the highest rent increases in the country. Rents in many cases have doubled in the last 2-3 years. The evidence is right here - 3000 a month for 940...

The esthetic of this side of the development reflects very well the freeway that runs in front of it.

Imagine thinking people paying 2500+ a month for rent are "poor". It's the same people who decry row housing being built in established neighborhoods when the units are selling for 650k+. Slums indeed.

It's amazing and not at all a coincidence that a new user appears to defend the honor of CSEC.

Wolfe and the Sparrows is great.

Rent up an average of 25% in Calgary, demand higher than ever, vacancy rates under 2% but there are many projects on hold. Are there different interest rates in other cities?

Parkland? I wish these people would just speak plainly - cut the shit and tell us all exactly why you are opposed to this development.

Rest easy bro Calgary is 90% greenfield and it seems you want to keep it that way. So like I said.

The problem with Calgary is that 80% of the people who live here don't see that (Metrotown ) as a good thing. I remember distinctly the uproar about the Anderson station project where anyone living in a 100km radius came out of the woodwork to scream about parking, density, and "character"...

What's the hold up with DP and BP? Staffing? Complexity? Amount needing approval/declined?
