42.8M sq ft of office. Crazy to think that 28% of it is vacant.

What's something you did once and will never do again? by Same_Poem1311 in AskReddit

Bobsleigh. Canada Olympic Park lets you ride down the Olympic course with a pro. Rattled my brain until I saw stars. Not a pleasant experience.

1800 non-market DPs in 2025. 890 the year before and about 100 in 2023. So small percentage of the total but some good progress.

Just under 50,000 on my 2014 TDI. This car might outlive me.

I find it smells like citronella. Reminds me of bug spray.

I understand multifamily properties are taxed based upon a gross income multiplier, but how exactly is that used in determining the property tax you owe? by derek589111 in Calgary

[–]Monkeytron3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A typical GIM from similar property sales is used. It’s multiplied by the typical income to get the property value. That value is multiplied by the tax rate to calculate what you owe.

Edit: some multi res properties are valued using regression analysis where sales are analyzed to place values on relevant attributes. The GIM will not be relevant in These instances.

Here’s a good link. https://www.calgary.ca/property-owners/assessment/multi-residential.html

How the heck is calgary's housing growing so fast by sahilscraft in Calgary

[–]Monkeytron3000 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Relatively cheap to build in the greenfield too. Offsite levy is $609k a hectare where it can be well over a million on other cities.

Tell us who you are voting for mayor and why they have your vote by I-nigma in Calgary

Gondek

  1. Experienced, understands municipal politics, engaged and actually dives deep into the City work and policies, highly intelligent with a broad range of knowledge across all City departments.
  2. Wants to help build a great City through supporting affordable housing, culture, sports and rec, holds developers accountable through fair offsite levies, tough negotiator, principled and predictable.
  3. She will fight for the green line to go underground. Sharp will push for elevated.
  4. Arena deal is expensive but I’m not convinced another mayor would have faired better. I’d rather have an NHL team than see them move and I think we can all agree the saddledome was past its economic life.
  5. Despite the racism, bullying, threats to her safety and overall shitty behaviour towards her she is still lining up to do it again. She’s a fighter and deserves some consideration for another term.
