The list high rises starting is looking good in my estimations of certainty. Yellowstone 100% Imperia 100% Sovereign 90% Francesco 90% Plaza 60% 526-4th 60% 1405 4th st 50%

This exactly. It’s not a zero-sum game, whether you like cars or not, they’re here to stay. Energy and resources are best put into pushing for better infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. In some cases, it may be at the expense of roads and drivers, but in most cases, both can exist. And...

Even if Canada loses against Venezuela, everybody will be happy with their result in Copa America. The next two years leading up to the World Cup will be where we see if the progress is real or not.

Most older toilet tanks were between 10 and 13 L and the new ones are all 4.6-6L On average the new toilets probably save about 6 L per flush, but yes, you are correct, there would be a huge amount of water saved just with the new toilets alone. I’d be curious to see what water usage was like...

Why couldn’t we do elevated over the CPR tracks? Downtown are all underpasses at the moment, but we do have roads at cross over top of the tracks already and other parts of the city. I wouldn’t object to it being elevated, but I don’t like the idea of it being elevated and then dipping below the...

I’m hoping they do the third tower. The damage has already been done with the podium on the first two towers so why not at a third tower and an extra 300 residential units in the core. My beef is only with the podium anyways, IMO the towers are fine.

There’s also the global petroleum show which starts this week. I went and took a look yesterday morning and I have to say it’s a lot larger than I was expecting. The interior decor and finishing is far superior to the old BMO center, which was more like a warehouse IMO.

Yeah, you’d think that a half built project in the middle of a housing shortage would be easy to get finished. Hope it’s back on again.

It would be nice to see another high-rise start up, we’re hitting a dry spell.😐

Every city in the world has an undesirable neighbourhood (or several) and the decline is always the same story. They were once nice neighborhoods, but series of different factors started some decline, and once it was in decline, it’s was vicious circle. Whatever the causes were for Victoria...

It’s disappointing but true. Once the Green line and QP is built it will most likely be the only real TOD. 😕

Those are the usual complaints. It’s as if there’s a manual for CAs to refer to,

When you’re spending the kind of money it costs to buy a unit these days, downtown and Beltline is a tougher sell. Especially East Village, you’d have to be crazy to buy a unit there.

Glad to see this going again.

This is the old project from a few years back.

Yes, that’s what I’m talking bout.

We can all agree that we need to keep building and improving pedestrian/cycling infrastructure - myself included. Realistically there is only so much we can do in a certain period of time, so we need to choose our battles. IMO the best bet is to focus the resources mostly on the core and inner...

TBH in my experience the level of opposition doesn’t vary much from inner-city to outer areas. I can tell you that in Renfrew/Mountview area there is strong opposition. Some people are losing their shit over this. Lol. Whereas in Huntington Hills mostly ambivalent. Nobody seems to care at all...

I feel confident Truman will at least go ahead with building this. Still sad to see the old apartment building torn down.

I don’t see any issues with balconies or black trim. My only gripe is the siding and even a minor gripe at that. I’m happy with the way it turned out, it’s better than 90% of the 5/1s out there.
