    Calgary's Homeless

    I agree, that moving the DIC and some other facilities out of the core to industrial area does feel like it is hiding people out of sight but I don’t have an issue with that. There’s no law that says homeless people have to be treated in a downtown core. We’ve had that line of thinking for...

    Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

    The man who smashed the bridge was released jail yesterday. As expected, he won’t be paying anything, and he was sentenced to 275 days of which he is already served so they released him. In the article, it says he was homeless for the past 10 years, and they’ve given it as one of the reasons...

    Calgary | The Barron | 43m | 11s | Strategic Group | Gibbs Gage

    Has anyone heard anything on this one? I'm asking because I saw some people at the site this morning when was going by.

    Calgary's Beltline

    It’s nice to see the Beltline named as the number one neighborhood, even though it is an opinion piece by the look of it.

    I Don’t Regret Moving To Calgary From Toronto

    I don’t know if I agree 100%. I get where you’re coming from, but on the other hand, once people start to complain about how good it used to be better, maybe it was actually better at the time. Overall though, these articles are merely opinion pieces, and nothing more. I could write up 100...

    Statscan numbers

    Edmonton and Calgary should end up getting a lot of people. Only this past year, Ottawa, overtook Calgary and Edmonton to become the fourth largest metro. Due to an expansion of their boundaries mind you, but still it became the fourth largest, now I’m wondering how long that will last? It might...

    Statscan numbers

    This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m not trying to put down the GTA, but when house prices in suburban Toronto are the same as Vancouver, there’s a problem. A lot of people like suburban Toronto GTA, but but there are lots who don’t love it. Like in any city of course, but when you’re paying...

    Statscan numbers

    I’m not surprised it had reversed. I’ve always maintained that most of the migration for people in that age group is due to either schooling or job opportunities. 20-24 age bracket would be more for schooling, but 25-29 more for job opportunities.

    Canada Men's Soccer

    Agreed. Hopefully one of those two players leaves PSG. I would like to see either of them in the English premier league, or at least Mbappe in the Spanish league. They’re both too good to rot away in the French league..

    Calgary | Gallery First & Tenth | 70m | 18s | Truman I FAAS

    I’d love to see the old Beltline route resurrected.

    Calgary | Era | 41.15m | 13s | Minto

    I dunno, to me it looks almost the same as the rendering. I agree that the exterior materials look cheap.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    That makes sense to me. Skilled labour pools take a long to build up, and for some cities, they never build up. I’m sure companies look at the long term history of tax rates in an area, but they can be changed overnight with a stroke of a pen, whereas a labour pool takes a long time to change.

    Alberta Provincial Politics

    I don’t know if a drop in corporate tax from 12% to 8% is the reason for the recent influx of all these non-O&G to Calgary. It certainly helped all the outbid province and out of country shareholders if oil patch companies. It certainly didn’t hurt drawing in new companies, but if I’m a company...

    Unexciting, but good density filler.

    Great little addition to 19th.

    It’s going, but at a snail’s pace.

    Calgary | Enzo | 27m | 6s | Arlington Street | DAAS

    Agreed. I recall hearing that the old design was more of a concept design not a true rendering of an actual plan. Same for the Fishman Proposal, it was a concept rendering and not an actual rendering of a plan. This proposal looks good in my opinion I really like it. Checks all the boxes, and...

    Calgary | Elva | 18m | 5s | Wexford Developments

    It’s a downgrade from the stone finish to the siding but it still looks good. I’d be happy seeing more builds like this.

    Calgary | Arris - 5th and Third | 142.03m | 41s | Embassy Bosa | Amanat Architect

    Whatever project it is, I hope you’re involved. I’ve been enjoying your updates!

    An odd looking building but I like it.
