    So many of those low percentage shots. Let's put it this way, they aren't the type of shots that come from McDavid or Draisaitl.

    Westmount Development | 20m | 6s | Anthem | Integra Architecture

    Normally I support development anywhere including my own neighborhood, but the Creosote would be a concern for me. For me and my family, I don't want low risk, I want no risk. How to solve this issue is another matter though. How long of a wait until the creosote natural fades? Maybe it can be...

    That seems to be the story in so many games. This was what I saw against the Wild as well. Lots of shots from the Flames, and they outshot the wild by a large margin, but nothing really very dangerous. The Wild had the better scoring chances.

    Spruce Cliff Apartments | 19.8m | 6s | Porte | Casola Koppe

    Lots of slow but good density build near Westbrook. Well, everywhere but the LRT station itself 😕 I suppose it’s just matter of time before the station are gets built. This reminds me of the Chinook area

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I agree with what others have said in regards to a grading of classification of homeless or people close to being homeless. Unfortunately too often the homeless population is generally lumped into one group, but it’s really is a variety of issues and types. A good system of identifying the...

    Exactly the type of development that brings a lot of density to the area without anyone even noticing.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    Before we get too far into this discussion about homelessness, I want to clear up a couple of things. My ‘list’ wasn’t meant to say those are things that will fix the issue of homelessness, but more of somewhat hyperbolic list of options in regards to Redstar’s question. As I’ve said before in...

    Housing is one of the pieces, but housing alone is not going to solve the issue.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    None of the prisons are funded from municipal budgets. Edmonton hosts most of the prisons for Alberta, but they're funded by the province or the federal government. If anything it's creating jobs for the Edmonton area, you should be happy with the situation.

    This year it feels like we are more in full rebuild mode because of the standings, we don't have much choice.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    Agreed. We place a lot of emphasis on personal freedoms, and rightly so, but at the same time there comes a point where many of these people don't really have true freedom anyway. They're already a slave to an addiction. Are they any less free being on forced rehab than they are dying on the...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    Agreed that stiff jail sentences aren't really a viable option. I threw it in there as one of the options often mentioned. Options 3 and 4 are options that might gain support, as public sentiment on personal freedoms has been changing in recent years, or at least it seems to have been changing...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    I'm not opposed to extra policing for the sake of public security, but it feels like these police initiatives are a bandaid solution and the money would be better spent on other solutions. Whatever we do, it'll involve spending money, and so many of those who cry out about the issues are the...
