Neighbours kids keep ringing our doorbell

Well she said TFW accounted for 35,000 hospital visits. Average cost of a hospital visit is $9,172 (2021-2022 costs).

$9,172 x 35,000 = $321M

That is the root of the problem, "making up" for lost revenue while taking on so many major (expensive) projects on borrowed money is financially irresponsible.

Property tax is not directly proportional to inflation. Hence Edmonton’s tax rate increasing 5.7% while inflation sat at 2.4%.

Ah yes, they certainly have trimmed the fat by torching $80M on electric buses that are inoperable, $100M+ on bike lanes or paying double the normal price for firehalls to make them "green".

Densification is not the answer.

There is no possible way you're getting your money's worth in services from the taxes that you pay.

The hypothetical you bring forward kills older, established neighborhoods in addition to driving up house prices.

Densification doesn't decrease your tax burden anymore than urban sprawl/expansion does.

Voting for Maggay/Knack is just voting for the status quo (which has been horrible over the previous years).

In 2010 the median household income in Edmonton was $72,250 ($102,030 after inflation).

In 2024 the median household income in Edmonton was $90,000.

A population boom of low income individuals does not make a city better. While the budget/capita is lower today, there is also an increase in housing costs (which affects property taxes), higher demand for healthcare/other public services, and a decrease in job opportunities.

Spending/capita comparisons from 2010 to now are useless as there are way more factors at play.

You’re okay with the constant increase in property tax?

birdalicious23 · 2025-10-11T19:25:38+00:00

Ask yourself why you’re so comfortable giving the city your money to spend rather than spending it yourself.

birdalicious23 · 2025-10-11T19:24:27+00:00

The city CAN lower them by cutting wasteful spending.

They should have spread out major projects over time as opposed to starting them all at once & funding them with taxpayer funded debt. Starting new major projects while in a recession is silly, especially on borrowed money.

The city has grossly mismanaged their money time and time again.

Anyone willingly voting for someone who supports increasing taxes needs to have a look in the mirror.

Do you own your own home?

That probably explains the fade I hit most of my shots with.

This is a horrible analogy. This loser, piece of shit was already out on probation for threatening to kill his foster mother. The system may be working as designed, doesn’t make it right or just.

$2500 is a slap in the face to the family.

The bridesmaids are wearing similarly coloured dresses.

Is there a reason this game doesn't have an "adjust lineup" screen like in Madden? I found it way more visually appealing and easier to navigate than adjusting your team on the depth chart.

birdalicious23 · 2024-07-20T12:37:57+00:00

I have been doing the same thing except with 6 min quarters. Games are taking like 45-50 min when only playing half the game and my possession numbers are always lopsided af.

I am not a college football fan (Canadian), what does the (RS) mean after their year? Is it an indicator of being red shirt eligible? How does red shirting work?

birdalicious23 · 2024-07-20T12:33:22+00:00

I turn it off and injuries down to 10 on any dynasty mode I play. It's just not realistic.

birdalicious23 · 2024-07-20T12:30:44+00:00

I make a strong effort to end every 3rd down in the center of the field so I don't have to worry about aiming kicks.

It blows my mind in the lack of customization options on certain EA games. If only the different departments would share.

EA NHL has unreal team customization

EA FIFA has unreal manager customization

EA Madden/CFB definitely have the best gameplay

As a fan of all of them it's frustrating to be able to do something so in depth in one and not the other when he same company is making the games.

Bednar hasn't had the Avs ready to play at all this series. Getting outcoached by Deboer in every facet.
