"Many at the public hearings on blanket rezoning spoke in support of more density — as long as it happened somewhere other than their own neighbourhood.This is frankly an impossible request for the city to fulfil, b/c if the policy only apply somewhere else, it will effectively be applied nowhere."

If you’re interested in why it’s so hard to achieve better cities, listen to (and share) this. It was a turning point for me…a culmination of years of increasing determination to call out lies and disinformation, and the beginning of a thought process that eventually lead to @urbantruth.bsky.social.

We do not accept Danielle Smith's UCP drawing electoral boundaries, just like we'd never accept an AB NDP govt doing the same. The UCP's minority commissioners are gerrymandering ridings to stay in power. It's an attack on democracy. It cannot be allowed. #ableg #gerrymandering

This thread is partially inspired by Calgary, where right now rich, shady forces, and certain council members, want to undo “blanket rezoning” (they want it to sound sinister, but it was just a new zoning bylaw for the city that, among other things, enabled more infill housing). Don’t fall for it.
