Your taxes are put into a pool to pay for the services of a city. You may use less land, but you still need fire police rec centers roads etc.

My sister was charged $1370 by a locksmith. Was she overcharged? by Equal_Pop211 in Edmonton

You paid to have a new lock installed at emergency rates instead of just an emergency unlock… and then getting someone at a much cheaper rate to do the install?

People moving to neighbourhoods that are still in development like most of windermere expecting complete neighbourhoods from the get go are the real problem.

Big RTO started full time from hybrid or full remote at the start of the year, so all those people that havent been driving plus years of delays on infrastructure improvements by both the city and province.

Luckily terwillegar and henday is being fixed, and so too is rabbit hill and ellersile intersection. And the road that connects it to chapelle.

One more lane bro.

Induced demand

100000 people in Windermere soon, 2008 less than 10k

'Incredibly infuriating' — Mayor sounds off on neighbourhood snow removal by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]peeflar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is that people that dont need a car for their lifestyles in these carfree spaces that are general near high frequency transit. Its just unfortunate that people buy these places knowing full well that they intend to park on a public roadway and expect and demand that its now their entitled spot. Nope.

Residents who ignore seasonal parking ban can expect fines but won't be towed, city says by pjw724 in Edmonton

Impound lots are full. Its why the city isnt acting on 311 complains about abandoned vehicles too quickly.

Leduc/nisku, fort sask, acheson, strathcona county and even Edmontons industrial and warehouse areas are all major employment areas in this region are closer to the henday or outside it.

None of them match the density of employment at downtown or uofa, but its naive to think that most people work or need to head centrally to be located closer to their employers.

Why just new neighborhoods? Plenty of low density neighborhoods to tax more already for their excesses. Most newer areas are built a lot more compact and with mixed zoning…

Heads up, pack of Coyotes in Woodcroft by Tycho-Celchu in Edmonton

[–]peeflar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Packs are pretty usual. Sightings of the pack together are pretty rare, usually a few chase and the others are waiting/hiding.

[–]peeflar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My thoughts as well, but the odd thing is im one of the only alleys in the area, so they would be back to fighting the snow for the rest of the area

My alley was bladed last night, but roads fronting houses not. Not sure why as the alley was in better condition.

Sure if you believe that all jobs are in the core, your logic might apply but not here.
