Something with a toilet flush sound effect for a name is coming to 104 Street.

Compared to what Ian? Do you have a YEG comparative slide?
Watch YYC’s program crumble…..now that they’ll have spent over $2B of their Municipal bucks on their Earth shattering-largest-civil-engineering-boondoggle-ever-recorded- on the planet! Partially Smyty’s fault……lol

And if they want a new green line, they will also have to contribute additional money to that on top of what has been spent. Although they never seem to be short on cash for projects. They're apparently only looking at a 3.6% property tax increase in 2025 as well to keep their books balanced.
Meanwhile, province pays full cost for their Deerfoot Trail work and arena demolition.

Exactly. Well, given that the incentive program was not supported (yet), I'd say it is pretty clear. Certainly there are a few conversions still moving forward, but it does provide a good roadmap of what could occur, albeit on a smaller scale given the potential.

Here's another YYC Housing metric all shot to shit! How come they get away with "over-inflating their housing starts" to make it look like they are eating our lunch? When in reality, its YEG feasting on their lunch! Gee whiz, YYC over shot by 10,000 units between July and Aug.....same geniuses running their Green Line for the last decade I guess?

I would argue that places with more unaffordable housing need this more than here. Given that Calgary prices are considerably higher than here perhaps there is a social justification to spend all this money other than their much higher commercial vacancy rate and bailing out commercial landlords. So maybe their doing this makes sense only for them.

The all others category is very variable, but Calgary does like to toot their horn when their numbers are great and often becomes curiously quiet when it goes the other way.

Done at a Kinko's print shop in the late 90's.

I think it is clear that "The Nap Room" is likely the same owners just rebranding. Yes, it was definitely "the brand" that failed them. I am sure of that. This one will be hugely successful, no doubt. A rebranding is all they needed.

Hmmmmm, The Tap Room. I remember going there back in the early 90's.
