Back to the old days of #yyccc spending all it's time reviewing zoning applications? Let them focus on big picture stuff (like critical infrastructure funding).
Change is coming to #yyc whether we like it or not. The old way of doing things led to large increases in home prices & rents. As #yyccc moves to repeal blanket rezoning they should be mindful that good politics for today is often bad policy for tomorrow.

Today #yyccc was told that a full repeal of blanket rezoning puts over $800 million in federal funding at risk, including $251 million in transit funding. In addition, it will jeopardize #yyc being awarded its share of $20 billion in transit funding. We quite literally can't afford to be NIMBYs.

If I were new to Calgary or just starting out, no question I would look at Forest Lawn/Dover etc. Also likely a great investment as people will eventually wake up to the walkability and proximity to downtown.

A toddler is dead in Calgary because we allow these jacked up SUVs with very minimal forward visibility. The drivers of these can’t see people in the crosswalk.
When will these be banned?

Can we also talk about the murder wagon the perp used to kill the baby.
The front end on that vehicle is designed to kill people - and the cops ignore the modifications.
