You could very well be right. I’m basing my tempered predictions on international immigration dropping sharply, and nothing more, so the numbers could be higher than expected. Also I recall quite a few units built from 2015-2021, but conversely downtown dropped in population. I guess I’m on the...

My guess is downtown will be between 17,000-18,000 by 2030. 1.58 people per unit is high and a lot of development permits don’t go anywhere. If Canada’s immigration numbers had stayed high, I could see 20,000 being a possibility, but I don’t see it to be honest.

Understood, and agreed. I don’t necessarily believe Knoblauch is at fault, but sometimes a coaching change is a good way to hit the reset button. The current GM is still fairly new but doesn’t escape all of the blame. He’s had a couple years to bolster the team, but today we’re no further ahead...

McDavid‘s comments seem like a poor choice of timing, being that things are so tight down the stretch run, but I suspect this is all geared towards next season. I agree with others that there will be a coaching change this summer. I don’t know that it’s all Knoblauch’s fault, but either way a...

Thanks, that makes sense. It always comes down to dollars and cents. With Edmonton’s high population growth I would have expected a high rise boom like Calgary and Ottawa have been having.

This is major gut check time for sure. Maybe this will light a fire under the team.

This is gut check time. If I’m being a glass half full kind of guy, I would look at it as a good test for Drai and he’ll be well rested going into the playoffs. If I’m being a glass half empty guy, I’m a bit worried about making the playoffs.

There’s so many of these 6 floor wood frames going up in the downtown. Anyone have any idea what happened to concrete high rises? We used to build them once upon a time.

7 storeys, so at least it’ll be concrete. If going concrete, they should have at least added a few more floors.

It’s a cool retro building, I hope they don’t ruin it.

After beating the Vegas and the Avs I thought maybe we were back in business, and then the wheels falls off again. 🙁 Wer’re up 2-0 on the Preds, so there’s that.

Exactly. Nice to see some action on the high rise front. I almost forgot what a high-rise was. Lol.

Sexy!

Huge win against the AVS, same for the win against Vegas the other night. The Oil has proven what I’ve always thought, that the team shows up for big games. That’s why I’m not overly concerned about the playoffs. Do they need to improve in some areas? sure, but the team we’ve seen through most...

Any idea why the delayed numbers?
