Congratulations to Josh, great guy, wish him the best!!

Lets do a forum meetup before he leaves us for greener (rainier) pastures. Josh DM me if you see this.

That is a big loss, but on the bright side that drone video is a reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a spectacularly beautiful city (which is easy to forget on gloomy snowy days)

It really is - great video

Sad loss indeed. Best of luck to Josh in his new role!

Hopefully Josh won't switch to a Canucks jersey! Bumped into him a few times at Flames games over the years as my father in law's season tickets seats were a a row or two behind his.

Not sure if Arlington Street's "High Street" latest render has been posted on this forum yet?

Sorry, but this pic is funny. The guy in the black Dodge Ram is about to run over the guy that's jaywalking while talking on his cell phone. It's really funny to me because I have the exact same truck and live a few blocks from here, I had to make sure it was a rendering lol

That would be their first project that would actually be a material improvement over what is currently there. It looks promising.

Does it seem odd to anyone else that if our economy were properly managed, we should see 100 cranes in the sky right now?

Regarding the plans for 14 St & 17 Ave SW - Does ASI already own the land for the Scotia Block Proposal , or is it possible they're abandoning the project? The land is currently for sale (Realtor Listing - Scotia Block). It's also curious that they are selling for the exact same price as The Pint across the street, but I guess it makes sense (Realtor Listing - The Pint). I wonder who owns that thing. It's been sitting empty for years. I'm anticipating some more changes to their increasingly disappointing plans for The Sentinel....

What do you define as properly managed?

It’s a free market and we had 75000 people move too Calgary last year. Conditions are perfect (minus interest rates) for getting the project’s downtown going. Seems with the massive amount of multi family projects being built in the suburbs that is what the market is demanding. Not sure it’s the whomever you’re complaining about running the economy is the problem. Market sets what gets built

It's also funny because ASI doesn't own that site and is marketing it as if he's going to develop it.

Must have a non exclusive option at least. Or I’d hope!

Who is it you would like to "manage" our economy?

If there was a business case for it, there would be 100 cranes. There isn't, so there isn't....

They do not have an option or any interest in the lands...
