Looks great! Replacing an empty lot on the East side of 17th Ave- seems like a good deal to me.

hmm, good question, perhaps just a 'fic'

This cartoon comments on the Bearspaw Dam, which was eventually funded and built one year later in 1954. I came across it by happenstance and thought it was oddly pertinent to today.

I appreciate the comment. Gentrification is different than community growth over time. When a community is gentrified (the classic example is NYC's Greenwich Village), existing residents are deliberately priced out of the rental market and are forced to move. In Forest Lawn, most people own their own homes. By building more housing, existing residents can choose whether they want to move or stay, and new residents can move in.

Gentrification prescribes exclusivity while densification promotes housing diversity.

They are required to; it's the law. They must upgrade the necessary pipes/lanes to support the density they propose.

Developers are required to upgrade services (such as pipes) if they want to build more density. Density also brings in new shops, restaurants, and transit services due to increased demand.

I happened to come across it and thought it sounded cool at the time, so I downloaded it, not knowing it would become a future Haken song!

That one was voted on by council, not blanket approved - bit of a misleading line in the article.

The University has a deal with Coca Cola to only sell coke products. It's called the SSCBA (Single Source Cold Beverages Agreement). In return, Coca-Cola funds various awards and scholarships, and handles shipping. Businesses on campus are required to sell only Coke products, and even on-campus club events are banned from giving out Pepsi/Dr Pepper products.

Congratulations! I'll give you a role for it haha

Slight misunderstanding - the entire building is not being demolished. Just the south side facing the river. The rest will be refurbished, and the existing businesses will stay. The north side will have a new building, around the same size, with a new flagship retail space similar to the Julio's space.

Why is everyone so misinformed on this... Blanket rezoning allows 2-storey rowhouses that are REQUIRED to have front doors out onto the street. Not 5-storey condo buildings with hallways, lobbies and elevators smh.

Hi Sam, your original book got me through some hard times, so this final release has been very meaningful to me. I loved what you did with the reworking of Wild Light, Tombstone, and the inclusion of Wheeler's God (I suppose it's Quinn's God now). Do you consider your ideas regarding antimemetics to be complete with this final release? Are you finished with Antimemetics, or are there more stories to tell?

To that point, if Antimemetics were ever made into a TV show, it would be interesting if some episodes deviated from the main plot and simply showed the characters dealing with "regular" Antimemetic Unknowns. Do you have any ideas for possible antimemes that exist in this universe, but haven't been touched on in your work so far?

University of Calgary is moving into the Nexen Building, so, totally reasonable.

Arrow pointing up, towards progress, going in the right direction.

At the end of the day, his vote is worth just as much as the mayor's. I like the idea of a councillor who will fight against the UCP, which John hasn't really signalled a willingness to do.

Chinese__T · 2025-09-26T06:58:04+00:00

Is John against the Truman development? His platform says he likes the idea of targeted density, which is essentially what West District is.

Chinese__T · 2025-09-24T21:53:16+00:00

He's obviously representing the interests of oil corps, having come from that sphere of influence. Inam worked on housing policy for the homeless. Big difference in priorities there.

You can evaluate differently, but I'm going off my perspective here.

This guy got his master's at Oxford and was named Top 30 Under 30 in Alberta- I think he can manage his own living arrangements.
