‘Sometimes we need to pick our battles’ sums up quite well. Parcels that are more desirable, such as ninth Avenue in Inglewood, 10th St., in Kensington, etc. need more scrutiny but some sites don’t.

For sure the goal should always be both nice form and proper function but if I have to pick a choice between the two I would go with function over form. I’m less concerned with the beauty of buildings over the streetscape and the function of a building. As long as the street scape is nice and...

Is the 70K an accurate number for Calgary? There seems to be all kinds of numbers floating out there, and the 70 K is only from the conference part of Canada report, which nobody seems to have access to. I’m still gonna wait for stats can estimate numbers to come out, and I think they’ll even be...

The reason prices are so high at these restaurants is that people will pay the prices.

Not sure why the hate for the black, I think it looks good.

Agree. Ask me 15 years ago about height mattering and I would have been all over it, but these I couldn’t care less. In Edmonton’s case it doesn’t even make sense given the number of empty lots. They should be doing buildings 5-10 stories high.

I’ve always been pro immigration, especially since my parents immigrated to Canada. I have two concerns for the most part. My biggest concern is the current level of immigration is too high, but I’m assuming they’ll go back to previous levels. The other concern, and one that I’m not sure can be...

I agree with this. There's no harm adding a station at Northland when the development nears completion. It wouldn't be any less deserving than Dalhouise, I mean what the point of having a higher density node of residential beside a train line if there's no station?

The architect who designed WVT was from Dubai, and the podium looks like something that belongs in Dubai.

This last paragraph sums it up well. Realistically acknowledging that roads and cars won’t go away, and that some people have no choice but to drive vehicles and instead of shaming people for driving cars we need to work towards better infrastructure for those who can’t, or don’t want to drive...

That’s the SRC version of being Rickrolled

Merry Christmas all! Looking forward to an exciting 2024!

So black vinyl trim along the edges, as the rendering shows. I’m anxious to see if they stick with the other material in the rendering, or if it gets VE’d down do some sort of beige vinyl siding or something.

I’m of the opinion to change the blanket zoning for all parts of the city. As things progress, most of the high density development will still be in the inner city and core anyways but at least this gives some opportunity for higher density in some of the outer neighbourhoods.

There’s construction on the street and sidewalks around the lot. Maybe they’re waiting for that to finish up.

This is where I stand. I don’t fundamentally have an issue with rich people living in more exclusive neighbourhoods, but as you put it, people have to bend and be reasonable. I can guarantee you nobody here on this forum would want a drop in centre built in their neighborhood, and many wouldn’t...

This I’ll be a great addition to 5th!

Those pictures are great Surrealplaces. This is the way East Village should be, and could be if you didn’t have to step over homeless people while walking the neighborhood. I feel for the homeless population, but at the same time it’s so frustrating.

Those hills you see near the man made lakes in the south (Bonavista etc..) were made of the earth taken when they dug out the lakes.

For some reason I haven’t noticed the water taste, but a lot of people have been complaining.
