Holland House in Garneau is now inhabited.

Apparently!

Given that a lot of the mid-rises in this area have been disappointing, I'm honestly a little relieved.

The rectory next to the Cathedral again. I really hope they do something nice with all the space they have in front.

Terrible photos, but here's a nighttime view.

I wouldn't mind the crowds at Banff if they behaved themselves. We need to bring in the Berghain bouncers to deal with some of those folks. Park rangers are just not trained to manage the most entitled people on the planet.

If you're referring to the Butterdome, I think there's a big difference between them.

It seems to me that what people are lamenting is not just WFH but the demise of a culture where people chat and get coffee/lunch/drinks with their coworkers. I think this is totally worth mourning! I love casually chatting with people at work and I've made a lot of friends through my jobs. These...

Point is, @ADob is describing a situation with which both they and their employers seem to be comfortable and that appears to be good (or at least not bad) for productivity. So why are a bunch of other people butting in to say that we need to end WFH? The fact that this discourse keeps popping...

At times it really feels like the 747 is an afterthought.

It's not really a moral question of whether employees should or shouldn't push back. Many workers derive clear benefits from flexible working arrangements, and if an employer makes people do things they don't want to do, the ones who have other opportunities will start to think about leaving.

At something like 250-ish by 200-ish meters, this building would be almost as long as (and much wider than) HUB Mall, which is 300 m. The most terrifying post-secondary campus I've been to is Université Laval, where all the buildings are incredibly large and imposing and have a vaguely Soviet...

There was an interesting exchange between Oh the Urbanity! and urban planning/transportation guy Marco Chitti on Bluesky about home ownership norms a couple months ago. Oh the Urbanity! were arguing that while home ownership should be accessible, the anglosphere is too fixated on it as an end...

I don't think there's any place, anywhere that's establishing new bike lanes where there isn't some very loud opposition. In 2021, Denis Coderre threatened to scale back the (very well-used) bike path on Bellechasse to reinstate more parking. Now Soraya Martinez Ferrada is saying we need to...

By the MacEwan neighborhood, do you mean MacEwan, the neighborhood outside the Henday, or the neighborhood around MacEwan University?

I sure hope we don't nominate Newsom! Pritzker would make a good president. He got the mandate of heaven when he caught and downed that jello shot one-handed. Democratic leadership is unfortunately very invested in locking out talented upstarts from power. Look at Hakeem Jeffries—he won't even...

Wild that Janz dissented more than Cartmell!

I haven't seen it at night yet, but I kind of feared that it might end up like WSP Place.

To some people, all virtue is now signalling.
