HOLY OF HOLIES! A map without West Ed Mall on it.

What makes you doubt so?

And if the application gets hard-tanked, then that'll be a win and I'll retract that comment. Even so, the developer for that site wouldn't be putting the amendment forward unless they had a tacit understanding from planning. That's what has my eyebrow rising.

This! This is post of the week, and this is why you're all gonna buy me a bulldozer.

A data centre in the middle of a downtown? What are you people !?!?!?!?!?!? Why not the world's largest pickle-ball court, run by the city of course. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP trying to repurpose what was Eaton Centre. Every proposal is a joke, a mean joke too. Honestly, pay me $750k a year...

An Edmonton MDC? Kill me. I can't see many real estate people truly worth their salt work for an Edmonton municipal corporation. It'd likely get seeded by people with either little to no real world experience, or else people looking for a pension that have a penchant for 37.5 hour work weeks.

The transit planner was unambiguously contemptuous when interviewed. I've got to find the interview, as it was so proforma transit uber alles it should have come with an anthem. And AGAIN, for the record I ride transit at least ten times as much as I drive. Sometimes my car doesn't move for a...

Are we not going to talk about the elephant in the room? 3G? I didn't know that was still a thing. 🤪

Let me remind everyone that the the City had the option to go underground at this intersection to minimize delays and the potential for accidents, but there was some transport planner at the city that basically told car drivers to go fcuk themselves, this is Transit town. Shades of that...

I forgot to post the link for McMansion Hell; https://mcmansionhell.com It helps ease the pain.

Jasper Avenue hasn't been downtown's most important street since the 70s, or around 1982 at the latest. It's been left to rot due to civic indifference and businesses have largely evacuated it. Important streets no longer exist downtown. Well, 104th Ave. maybe but west of 109th Street it's...

^ Don't read too much into that GM position. They've been hired by the receiver. It's the GMs job to say no to any financial outlays unless there is a massive risk unless they take action. This is just pro forma receiver process, and I've seen it several times.

Please explain?

Looks like that place would be good for an episode of that McMansion Hell blog. It has to be one of the funniest parts of the interwebs.

City comes to the rescue to allow on-site surface parking? Have they honestly drunk the cheap developer koolaid and decided that surface parking is somehow good for the community? 🤨

Let's just remind ourselves that Vanfan123 is Calfan12 on SSP. Bald-faced Calgary huckster.

Does anybody here know whether the road between that apartment building and the commercial to the south is a public roadway or an easement on private land in favour of public access? It would be interesting to know who's supposed to take care of that road. I was driving that road a few weeks...

^ ^^ Maybe businesses are more concerned about road access to YYC? 🤪

And 99% of what's been built so far makes my eyes puke.

Was AIMCO supposed to participate on the debt or equity side of the equation?
