Yup!

Take away or change those vinyl slats on the front, and it's actually pretty solid.

When I was a kid we used to water the trees in the yard, and they grew much faster than the neighbors who had the same crabapple trees planted at the same time. In the course of about 20 years, my parents' trees were somewhere between 50% to 100% larger than the neighbors and much healthier. My...

I think people's idea of what a dump is, gets skewed sometimes, especially here after comparing so many different new builds. I've lived in some apartments that were actual dumps, and I've been inside of Aura (which is much the same as Arch) I can say that it's not a dump.

There are lots of different types of street facing retail that can survive downtown. Before Brookfield Place, Telus Sky, and 707-5th street were built, the previous buildings all had retail bays, and they were doing fine. Mostly restaurants and small specialty stores, but they were there, and...

What we know so far: -Construction fencing around site. -Excavator on site -A group of forumers are willing the development to go ahead. Science has spoken, this one is a go!

It would sweet if University District, with a bit higher density was taken and plunked down at Westbrook.

Yep.

The more I see this virus play out, the more I realize how much decisions and attitudes affects the outcome. Nova Scotia was very good at dealing with the virus through most of the pandemic, but the backed off on the enforcement allowing crowds to gather - example, there was a music festival...

It would be nice to tie in some of the residential buildings downtown. It could be a selling point in getting people into units.

Unfortunately, this one won't be happening anytime soon. By the time it does, it may end up with a new design.

I thought the Victoria Park was supposed to get torn down after Stampede, but I'm not so sure Stampede is happening this year, so could be sooner.

Someone had said that ITC was getting dropped, and the developer was going to manage the construction. Don't know if that's still on.

That's cool. I guess you've seen a lot of changes in downtown Calgary over the years!

I've only heard of Gondek and Farkas, but will research the other candidates if I have time. I agree this will be a race between two candidates, unless another high profile candidate runs. So far I'm leaning toward Gondek.

I signed the petition. Reading through those comments makes me want to choke some people :mad: I understand people have different ideas of how they want to live, and it's fine, but so many of those comments are people who simply have no understanding of why sprawl is an issue, and many have no...

I thought I saw that development earlier, but couldn't remember when. Nice to see it surface after 4 years.

Solid as a rock. I like the combination of brick, and warehouse type windows.

The problem with the UCP is the people who are Xenophic, Homophobic, or what not, support that party. The party hasn't done a good job of controlling supporters who are from that cloth, especially from the homophobic side.
