How friggin annoying. With all the pressure to get new hosing in the city, hopefully the city doesn’t pay much attention to these people. 27 story towers, perfectly fine and that location.

Edmonton has the tallest building, but for overall height in general its butt is kicked. One tall building doesn’t really count. The point is moot though. Nobody cares about height in 2024.

Question for the avgeeks. I’m in the international terminal ‘D’ and I see a flight Halifax. I thought the international term was only international flights?

It looks 100 times more interesting than the plastic siding. It would be nice if they painted the bars either black or white, but the plain steel colour might look really cool when reflecting sunlight.

Agreed. I agree with almost all of what he posts, but some of the posts are extreme in nature. Hyperbole works when joking around but has the opposite effect if it’s meant to be taken seriously.

I thought sovereign would be one of the next ones to get built but, with prices like that, Sovereign won’t be built anytime soon

What is the global standard these days? I spent three weeks in Europe travelling different cities and none of the apartment buildings I saw u/c looked any better tbh. The newer low rise buildings were the same as what I’m seeing here.

Love this proposal.

Nice to see a 35 storey tower proposed instead of the 9 storey one. It’s not that I love high rise towers to making up our urban environment, but this is the area where high rise towers work well.

I don’t disagree that people who walk or cycle to work are happier and healthier. Those studies are kind of pointless though, especially for North American cities. There’s no study that shows the effects if the 90% of the people who drive or take transit to work, suddenly had to walk or cycle...

This looks good. It’s solid and definitely not offensive.

I’m okay with low to mid-rise at University District, but I really hope the University builds something in the range of 6-12 storeys to replace the student housing they bulldozed recently. Around Brentwood or Banff Trail, 30 floors for sure.

I’m in the same mindset, I can’t decide if I want them to win or not. Part of me wants to see them crash to the bottom for the next couple years and get some high draft pics, but the other part of me wouldn’t mind seeing him make the playoffs. What I don’t want is seeing them miss the playoffs...

Fair enough, I get where you’re coming from. It is unfortunate that we have a car centric Society for sure. There are times when I enjoy driving because it makes my life easier or gives me freedom to do certain things, but at the same time, it would be great to be less reliant on it. A difficult...

Your argument is more about cars in general, and is very generalized. There's a big difference between that and whether to maintain an already existing road like 11th street, and is a whole other conversation. - Cars are major contributor of climate change. -True, cars of today are contributors...

It would be more expensive to add cars, just a matter of how much more expensive. It should also be cheaper than 4th street as there would only be one vehicle lane each way. At some point I imagine there will be costs that can be used for comparisons.

If we’re going to go through the cost of building an underpass we might as well add vehicle traffic to the list. The cost of any kind of underpass is going to be there either way. Why spend millions on an underpass to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists only? I know the narrative is that cars...

Those places are interesting places to visit, not to live, and they aren’t opting not to drive cars, it’s because they don’t have a choice. I’d love to live in many of those cities in the list for 6 months or a year, but you couldn’t pay me to live in those places permanently. It’s one of the...

Hyperbole aside, before cars came along people were very limited in their mobility. You could make an argument about cars causing climate change, but you can’t make an argument that having cars has made people’s lives worse, because it hasn’t. Literally nobody would ever want to go back to the...
