    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...

    Calgary Flames Official Thread

    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.

    Like him or hate him, Farkas seems like a guy who will go after something, so here's hoping.

    Calgary Transit

    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.

    Calgary's Downtown Population

    The fact the boundaries are based more on jobs makes sense as to why almost a third of Calgary's downtown boundary is are with no residential (the Stampede grounds)

    61st Ave Residential | 64m | 19s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    For CF investing in residential near Chinook seems like an easy win-win. Their investment also adds 590 units next to their mall, plus it could potentially be a catalyst for more development which in turn could up the value of their mall and their residential project.

    Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

    Giving a ticket to a homeless guy for littering is a waste of everyone's time. We know it won't get paid, and what can they really do if he doesn't pay it? They need to take a run at solving the root cause. I know there's only so much the city can do within its power, but even if they could...

    Unbuilt Projects

    I had forgotten about so many of those proposals. The ones that I would have been happy to see today are FCC II, The Cascade tower, and Plaza 75. I think all three would have aged decently, especially FCC II would would still be an interesting tower. The original Bankers Hall design was very...
