So... how about that residential tower rumour so we can bring back those folks who moved to Summerside, bought a Ford Edge RS at 29 and have a VIP at CHOP?

LOL. I drive a small hatchback and ironically the only CHOP I've ever been to is the one DT. My wife and I lived in a condo in Bonnie Doon and when we first started looking for a bigger place, we were completely set on something central. Unfortunately, the options and prices just did not line up for us. Summerside was chosen because we love to paddle and the idea of having a place we could walk or bike to with our paddle boards after work was a nice concession to a more urban lifestyle.

So yes, build more residential downtown that is suitable and affordable for families! I was hopeful for Blatchford but so far the prices for what you get are just not at all in line with what's available in the suburbs. $600,000 to almost $800,000 for a townhouse?!!

Here is a frightening thought, constructions have superseded well past Summerside, so imagine that commute? When I chose Winter Ridge which is situated on Parkland county dide, it was the idea of country side near the city, but I'm now surrounded by development and well south of me. It is just unfathomable how we continue to sprawl for our population.

I love the Irony

What Irony? That is a place of County of Parkland. I'm referring to Edmonton's proper. Edmonton is not fixing my roads if it crumbles, and it was there way before all this.

Finding the sprawl unfathomable and concerning while being apart of it?
 
I get what @Clearshades is referring to. IMO subdivisions like that aren’t really “sprawl” because they were purposefully built with substantial space and distance from the city verses the suburbs that build on the end of each other continually outward (and eventually surround these pre-existing subdivisions). It’s almost like they’re a yardstick to measure how far surburban sprawl has occurred.

My dad lives just out in a subdivision south of Big Lake in Parkland county but a stones throw from the Edmonton boundary. It was first developed in the 1970s, way before Edmonton had even annexed Winterburn. Now the neighbourhoods of Kinglet and Hawks Ridge are building right up against it. It’s been fascinating to see how fast new suburban development happens when all the pieces are in place.
 
Loblaws now has a more secure entrance/exit for obvious reasons

I really hope this store survives. I freakin' love it for grabbing a few quick items after work (how urban)

I buy Fairlife 1.5L milk and the price has gone up over the past two years to $5.99 for the past year. That's been consistent now at all food stores until two weeks ago Loblaws increased their price to $7.99. WTF lol
