Must confess to feeling conflicted seeing the Stollery Foundation seeking to raise $1 billion to build a new hospital.
I would give every dollar I could to the Stollery, that's how great the place is. But this is a hospital the public clearly needs.

These arguments are as old as time and fall apart if one applies them elsewhere. Many European nations and peoples weren't where they were 15,000 years ago, either, so does that mean I should potentially feel free to relocate to Europe and claim land?

When I hear shared living, density, and most importantly a financially feasible path to a longer-term housing situation for the next generation dismissed based on it being a multiplex I hear a situation where we're okay with hating cities while living in them. Cities are all housing types.

The hardest to articulate bit about your neighbourhood becoming a short-cut route is the rigs, work trucks, trucks with trailers, trucks pulling equipment, and pickups that overwhelmingly cluster to avoid whatever encumbrance is upstream, leaving your “residential” street feeling like a work site.
