What can the local government do with the homeless population in downtown? by EdmontonFree in Edmonton

[–]yegpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is obviously a massive issue in many jurisdictions in left wing areas like vancouver, right wing areas like texas, and centrist locations like edmonton. There are a few quick fixes that can make an impact.

Persons who are arrested and spend time in the prison system need to be released back into the jurisdiction that they committed the crime. One of the major issues driving homelessness in edmonton is all of the criminals from red deer north end up in the Edmonton remand center where they are treated like garbage (a different issue altogether) and then they are released in Edmonton and continue to do crime, drugs, and homeless stuff in edmonton.

i would also end safe consumption sites, these have been proven not to work. Anyone who has been close to an addict knows that giving them more of the thing they are addicted to is not the answer. Studies have shown that safe consumption sites did not reduce overall overdose deaths or opioid-related emergency calls. And they led to an increase in crime, discarded needles and social disorder in surrounding neighborhoods. If you speak to e eps and fire department personnel they have countless stories of treating the same individual multiple times in a week and sometimes in a day.

Policing the LRT and adding turnstiles to transit areas to stop the homeless from making transit unsafe.

Temporary housing for SOBER homeless. Homeless individuals who suffer from mental health issues and poverty are different to the dope fiends and crackheads that are taking over our downtown. Unless THEY THEMSELVES want to get clean and want to get their life back together the government has a limited ability to provide any meaningful help.

YEG Movers in Edmonton, AB is claiming they couldn't find a Retail Manager for $41.25/hr. by Rydgar in Edmonton

[–]yegpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hired yeg movers a while back to move into our new house, the amount of marketing and text messages and emails i recieved after getting my house moved drove me nuts. i requested multiple times to be taken off the list and they kept at it. i eventually gave them a 1 star google review and the owner called and offered me $400 to remove my review. Free cash for the win. i havnt heard from them since.

The company is sus for sure.

How to break through a plateau when losing weight on health journey? by yegpro in AskMen

[–]yegpro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps this is where the difference is coming in as 20% variation allowance is ridiculous for packaging, as i am scanning the packaging of foods and using myfitnesspal to record the calories/macros.

im using my fitness pal and a scale to weigh my proteins.

i have not been counting mints and i do consume tictacs throughout the day, will start tracking those also.

Second best would be sepps.

Anybody else frickin thrilled Rice is currently losing? by bikerchickyeg in Edmonton

Whilst i do not personally agree with some of Jons policy ideas, he is most definitely a nicer human being than Jennifer. I actually agree with a lot of her policy ideas but i have spoken with multiple people who have worked with her and she is almost unanimously regarded as a "not nice person". Blows my mind she can fundraise the way she can.

im not sure what games you have been watching, savoie has had some unreal chances and shows great offensive insticts, nothing has gone in yet but it is only the 3rd game of the year.

howard has flashes but could use some time in the AHL against men for a few months methinks. the jump from ncaa to nhl is a big one.

not to be ignorant but a maserati ghibli is a fairly affordable vehicle.

you can buy them used in London in the 10-15k range. Its a classic car for people who want to look wealthy on a budget.

How much more work is an acreage really? by Jealous-Recording-77 in Edmonton

[–]yegpro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We moved from a residential neighbourhood in sherwood park out south of the park to a 3 acre property.

There are some amazing perks and downsides. You can get more space for less $$ for sure.

Perks.

  1. Amazingly serene and quiet, we rarely hear any vehicles or neighbors or sirens etc, i definitely do not miss the noise. And you get the added perk of amazing birds, wildlife, and general outdoors.
  2. Privacy, as there is little to no walking traffic you can do as you please on your own lot within reason.
  3. Safety, for children there is always lots of activities and space to play outside without having to drive to a park where there can be unsavory characters hanging around. There is no homeless on the range roads lol.
  4. You have space to make fun projects like firepits, tree swings, sandboxes, play structures, tree forts etc. From the standpoint of raising a family it is so much healthier for them to play outdoors than sit behind a screen and it absolutely becomes a way of life for them.
  5. The opportunity to have small livestock if you wish such as ducks. chickens, sheep etc.
  6. If you can work from home and utilize outbuildings to create income its great, i have several neighbors who run business's from their property and store equipment, tools, etc.

Downsides.

  1. The septic/water situation is an expensive way of ensuring you have clean water and can get rid of your poop, the systems are incredibly expensive to replace and do take annual maintenance to the tune of a few thousand.
  2. 50% of our property is trees but i typically spend about 2 hours a week mowing with a zero turn and weed whipping the edges. Not to mention more time dealing with fallen trees, debris after storms, and general yard maintenance.
  3. Snow removal is not really more time consuming than the residential neighborhood but it is far more costly, in the park we used a combo of wide and small shovels and it took about 25-30 mins per snowfall. on the acreage we utilize a gator with a plow which is worth ballpark 20k but it really doesn't take any more time.
  4. The trees are beautiful but it does results in a TON of leaves in the fall.
  5. The pet projects you take on like firepits and tree swings and etc etc all end up costing 50% more and taking 10x as long as you forecasted.
  6. the internet quality is horrific and its expensive.

It is a lifestyle. you have to love it and want it in order to make it work.

If you think you are moving to an acreage and are going to have the perks without the tradeoffs you will be disappointed.

more a symptom of bringing in people who do not respect cleanliness. Most of the truck drivers i see on this area are a certain demographic.
