Hey Calgary, if you're around on Oct. 29-30, and care about building more sustainable cities, consider attending SAPL's Urban Analytics conference. They have put together a great lineup of speakers from a variety of disciplines, with guests from around the globe. Open to the general public!

Our condolences to our neighbours to the north, who have been a beacon of hope to Canadian cities for years now. This is a massive own goal, we are not a serious province.

Yet another example of an innovative city being stifled by the province. I am gutted. We should thank our lucky stars for BC's Bills 44/47 and continue to push for more.

Fantastic op-ed from Stephanie Cipheur this morning: "I suspect that many on city council and those lobbying against density and diversity in Calgary’s neighbourhoods will eventually realize that the status quo hurts us all." calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

It's important to understand the inherent asymmetry of power in these public hearings. They are dominated by people with the time, energy, and money to fight for the status quo. They are not accurate barometers of public sentiment, nor do they represent the best interests of the city.

A lot of familiar faces in this supercut! Proud of all the caring Calgarians who showed up in support of housing. Glad to see people are still talking about Calgary's great blanket downzoning.

Klumpenhouwer said that reverting to the lowest density land use around transit stations seemed like Calgary is taking steps backwards on housing. “This council and Mayor Farkas have talked a big game about wanting to focus on transit-oriented development, and this is doing the exact opposite”

Not a surprising result, but disappointing nonetheless. We will keep working toward making a city that works for everyone. A big thank you to everyone who has participated in this public hearing.

“Repeal and replace” was a campaign commitment. Making housing more affordable was the goal. It’s time for Mayor Farkas to stand by that commitment, or admit it was never the plan at all.
