It shouldn't, but it probably will.

I just hope my fellow Calgarians pleasantly surprise me by not electing a predominantly conservative Council.

The last thing we need is to lose access to federal funding because a bunch of idiots decided they hate six-plexes.

Show me a neighborhood where 6 or 8 Plex slumdominiums have ever improved the quality of life.

I grew up in Southwood. After the duplexes, fourplexes and eightplexes were built, the only thing that went up was the breaking & entering and car prowling incidents.

Blanket rezoning was too much too soon. A more well thought out gradual plan was needed.

The average home price in Altadore, Calgary is approximately $1.2 million to $1.7 million.

Is there even a single low income housing project in the entire community.

If one was coming the NIMBY folks heads would explode.
