I would think no? At least in the North American context, suburbs have outpaced urban areas in terms of growth in the past several decades by a wide margin. (Pew, TD, Smart Prosperity) There's nothing particularly "weird" about what the Edmonton development industry is doing.

I feel like most of us are on the same page as you on this one, crispie.

A developer saying "Keep Edmonton Weird" while championing soulless suburban auto-centric development is one of the most laughable things I've read in a long time, and I've seen some howlers from the property development industry.

Will be sad to see Andy's IGA shut down. :(

Even Keith Gerein is seeing the pattern:

Ugh.

Procura is officially added to the "shit list".

I really hope Kissel puts his money where his mouth is and declines any future invites. He's a pretty divisive guy, regardless of the curse. (See his lyrics for "Line in the Sand" if you haven't already.)

^Thanks for the edit and clarification.

So, to be clear, are you saying that the Butternut Tree will be relocating into The Marc's space ("run it at The Marc")?

Tons of petty shit in this bill. One of the "funniest" is the ban on electronic ballot tabulators, despite McIver saying he's not aware of any problems with them -- just aware that some people don't like them because they believe in Trumpist conspiracy theories. Smith and McIver are doing their...

I didn't realize that building even had office space in it!

"Edmonton Law Office"! Now that's what I call branding!
