    Calgary & Alberta Economy

    There has been major activity in this field with the Amazon data centre announced, expansion of data hive as posted earlier in the thread, and now this one. Calgary must be right up there ad a data centre hub. Maybe the Data centre capital of Western Canada?

    We can also add Aeropark to the list 😃 There is also one in Bridgeland that somebody updated the other day, but I don’t remember the name of it.

    I heard something on the radio (660 news radio) this morning, and they said in 2020 about 40% of people in Canada between 18 and 34 owned a home, but it now it’s only around %25 - I might have those numbers wrong. If that’s the case, homeownership was somewhat attainable for young people when...

    Colonialism and design choices discussion

    Maybe the mods can make a thread about colonialism and such and the discussion can move there?

    East Village: Success or a long ways away yet?

    I’ve heard the same thing about CMLC from various people. At the end of the day though, the homeless issue is the reason it’s stalled out.

    Project 54 | 43m | 12s | Cidex Group | NORR

    If the panels are a brand like Alucobond, the red should stay red. Fingers crossed! As for the design. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s not terrible. Overall, it’ll be a good addition to downtown.

    Send it like it’s hot 👍 lol On a serious note, Edmonton was bigger than Calgary for almost the entire 20th century, so probably some other older people who still think of Edmonton as the larger metro. Until recently my grandfather who’s 96 thought Montreal was Canada’s largest city.

    That option works for me.

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    I don’t see the the Nose Hill route as having the same characteristics as the other lines. All of the other lines, with the exception of the Red line’s Erlton to Chinook, pass through areas populated with businesses, people, schools, malls etc. As far as I can tell the Nose Creek route wouldn’t...

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    It would be a mistake is because using Nose Creek turns the north leg into more of a commuter/go train type system. Nobody would be able to walk to the stations. They’d have to drive to them or take buses to them. I don’t believe travel time will be a problem. If it’s a street car running 50 km...

    50 cents change back from ‘services rendered’? Lol

    Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    It’s true, there wasn’t much consideration on the cost, but IMO building the line through the Nose Creek Valley would be a huge mistake. Better to pay extra money now and have it done properly, building it where the people are.

    Meet Urbgary, population 100k and its satellite cities, the Midgarys, total population 250k

    Sounds about right. 50K is probably the critical mass needed to make the Beltline its own independent mini city.

    Calgary Restaurant Thread

    Just because they aren’t owned by Mexicans doesn’t mean they aren’t authentic in any way. I’ve eaten tacos at various spots around Mexico (non resort places) and to me the tacos from Native Tongues, or Tacos Mexico taste no different than tacos I’ve eaten in Guadalajara, Durango or Mexico City...

    Yeah, I think it’s the finished product, with trim yet to be added.
