Honestly, I see something like this (again) and I wonder if maybe we just don't deserve nice things at all. Maybe all we deserve is tiny-windowed patchwork siding crap housing. I mean... Come on!

In the Edmonton Journal article, it said:

Wîhkwêntôwin is one of the densest neighbourhoods in Edmonton and many of the homes in the area date back to the city’s early days, with some homes built in 1905. The neighbourhood falls under the purview of the Edmonton Design Committee (EDC), which can place its own restrictions on how the building looks, subject to developer appeal. If EDC’s requirements are appealed, the proposal goes to a subdivision and supply board where residents will have another chance to speak their mind.

Does this mean the EDC actually does have some teeth?

I would again say that I don't expect the worst, since Stopgap's owner must know it would be disastrous for Stopgap to build something really ugly. But if it looks bad, I'll be ready to speak out.
