    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.

    Looks like it was built in 2018.

    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...

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    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.

    Fencing has gone up around the site, maybe they're looking to go ahead. Fingers crossed.

    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...

    They're done, someone stick a fork in them! At this point there isn't a single soul out there who believes they'll make the playoffs. Time for a 100% full on rebuild, and I mean an actual rebuild.

    For people even more olderer than O-Tac and Cameronhowe, how about the days when Red Robin offered free apps such as Fries, dried pork spare ribs, and wings, spring rolls, meat balls etc between 3:00pm and 5:00pm? Yep that's right, free as in no charge, go ahead and pig out.

    I don't know what CT's goals are, but I imagine these kiosks are rented out, so there shouldn't be a downside for CT. I don't know what Bridgeland's numbers are today, but it was one of the lowest in 2005. I'm guessing it'll be a lot busier with all of the new development around Bridgeland.
