I'm sure a lot of people will blame the parents, but from talking to some teacher friends, the large class sizes is also causing issues by creating a bad environment for learning, with too many kids to control, and behavioral issues that don't have any resources allocated to those kids...

Oh, I thought you were making a joke about the port a potty...

Well it does say he welcomes our questions...

Very reminiscent of the university district in Calgary, but every building is like twice the height

Square boxes are fine if there's an adequate amount of ornamentation. I'm not sure of the history of it, but we have substituted ornamentation for massing and material choices. Most cities don't even have the skilled trades needed for ornamentation now, even if architects wanted to do it. I...

Hope you suggested he use less fibre cement panels next time

Since early 2024, Burnaby has had some of the best multiplex/missing middle zoning in the country, that allowed for almost 2 FAR in places as it was form/volume based and didnt prescribe a FAR. Even though multiplex zoning was a provincial requirement, I was extremely impressed as they've been...

Edmontons architecture has never been great, but it really does feel like the bar has been lowered in the last 5 years. Everything is a mess of hardie panel, random material choices, and random box shapes.

Some people literally can't believe that others think differently than them, so if others do things that they wouldn't, they assume it's "virtue signalling"

Elections have become pay to win. Thanks UCP (Yes I know this has always been an issue, but they've made it inarguably worse)

Development downtown always feels like two steps forward, one step back. Every couple new buildings we also seem to get a parking lot or empty lot for a development that never happens.

With an underground station at one intersection alone costing an extra 300 million, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that going underground at every intersection could easily surpass a billion

Yeah I'm sure it had nothing to do with going underground costing like a billion more, jeopardizing the project completely as transit funding is not really prioritized at all. It was definitely just because a transit planner said "go fuck yourself" to car drivers. That makes sense, and would...

"Take a risk, it's the most Edmonton thing you can do" 😂

*How much hardie panel should we use?" "Yes"

It's so crazy to me that this place used to be in the middle of nowhere, and is now quickly being surrounded by suburbs quicker than I can keep track of

Wow it's almost like there was pent up demand for housing near the U of A, that was being prevented from being built due to the single family home zoning. Who would have thought
