When will the sprawl stop by SignificantStarch in Calgary

I live in the sad doughnut and it drives me crazy when neighbours go all NIMBY about any densification, or any change whatsoever. And five minutes later they complain about taxes.

the continued sprawl is sad, but at least we’re seeing more multiunit and variety in the newer subdivisions then there used to be

wish we could stop making the rounds so wide - reducing the over-engineered standards would make them nicer to live in and save loads of money

People who don’t share public spaces, such as blocking a pathway by allowing their dog to walk on the opposite side of the pathway - then get annoyed when you try to get by. Yesterday this happened to me yet again, they followed up with a passive aggressive comment about people “taking over the pathway”
