That's what my niece was saying too. All things equal she'd rather live around the downtown area, but it was hard to turn down an SFH that was cheaper in price.

Wow, some minor tweaks, but looks so much better. count me in as on-board now.

You might be right about the availability of SFH's. My niece moved out of on her own last year, she and her friend looked for apartments down around the core, but eventually settled on a SFH in Tuxedo (a couple of blocks east of 4th street NW) It was actually cheaper than many of the apartments...

I like how the tower sits in the background and the left Red's in place, and went with a two story frontage on 4th right beside Red's. Makes for a nice streetscape.

Centre right? Centre maybe, but I'd say more left of centre. I've read through her campaign literature and there isn't much that gives me a centre right feeling. Just curious why you'd think she is centre right?

Bullet dodged.

Great to see this one going ahead!

I was hoping the park would be built for this summer, but I guess not.

The NW portion of Calgary is becoming randomly dotted with highrises, with more to come after this and The Dells.

Some shadowing of Coco, but very little really.

It'll be a popular spot, especially with Cafe Beano kitty corner to the park.

I like it when somebody writes a rebuttal in response to one of Richard White's articles. Almost always it's somebody coming at it with more knowledge.

The Len Werry building started construction in spring of 1973, and looks far into its build. I would say probably spring of 1975

I feel like we’re so close to the finish line, The finish line being almost everyone vaccinated and very low case numbers. We just need to hang tough 3-4 more weeks and cases and hospitalization will drop significantly. If we do the hard work now, we can be good to go for the summer, including a...

The design change would have cost some money, but fairly minimal. Once the DP was approved they’d be spending more on actually builder construction plans.

This is maybe the downside of Calgary’s unicity model. The ratio of suburban build is very high compared to urban build, and it makes it hard for an elected council to change the tax structure. A proposal to increase taxes for less dense areas and decrease for inner city areas makes total sense...

IMO closing the schools seems logical. It’s much easier to close schools than to shut down businesses. It inconveniences some parents, but it’s only two weeks. Those dying or hospitalized from Covid are much more inconvenienced. I agree with your point that going forward most of those dying or...

With the city pushing its new downtown plan maybe they can offer some incentives for developments like this to help get them going?

Sounds like you’re right! I thought I heard they were taking it away but must be remembering it wrong. I guess with the potential for developments like crosstown, and others along 25th Ave. it probably makes sense to keep it.

I usually hate shopping g at Superstore, but I like that one. I’ve been in there a few times since it opened.
