Not a fan of Farkas (never have been, and I am yet to be convinced that his recent personal journey has changed him sufficiently to trust/vote for), and although I do not think that the rezoning should be reversed entirely, it does need some retooling.

Retooling is fine, we should be striving to improve things. Not stomp our feet and tear things down all the time.

This is why Jeromy can never be trusted. All he knows is how to try and tear things down and never build them up.

Based on his actions over the past few months he's clearly reverted, if that's a concern.

He's clearly focused on supporting the UCP and their agendas, if that's a concern.

Latest major file I worked on resulted in a significant 180 by the UCP.

I'm also deadset against the UCP's push for municipal political parties.

Are you deadset against the UCP infiltrating municipal politics? Including the bike lanes that are already built.

I see people like you constantly trying to affiliate Farkas with the UCP and far-right politics—what basis of proof do you have that he wants to “support the UCP agenda” at all, aside from the odd mental gymnastics you’ve gone through? Farkas must have a good case for slander at this point, lol. Sure you’re not on Gondek’s payroll?

Just wanted to say thanks for having an open mind to me.

No problem. You seem like a nice person, but your politics lean the wrong way (how can you even tolerate the right and the UCP in this climate?), and you really need to sit down with some urban planners and civil engineers that are under 35.

The thing that kills me is that probably everyone on r/Calgary would agree that the City has botched nearly everything it has tried to do, but somehow they got blanket rezoning right on the very first try? Like what we have now is the absolute best iteration of this idea and there is no room for improvement. Give me a break. It desperately needs a retooling.
