Protecting Neighbourhood Retail: Save Our Shops Councillor James Pasternak from the neighbourhood to our west has launched a campaign that may be of interest to residents in our community who rely on nearby retail services. The proposal for 75 Billy Bishop Way would replace essential neighbourhood retail with five towers reaching up to 49 storeys. Beyond the immediate impact on the Wilson community, there are broader concerns about the precedent rezoning could create. When land is rezoned, its value often increases instantly. This can place important amenities and businesses at risk as redevelopment pressures grow. A similar issue is currently emerging near the Ontario Food Terminal, where a development application could threaten the terminal and the surrounding businesses that form a critical ecosystem supporting food distribution across Ontario. Changes like this can also create cascading pressure on other important sites, including nearby retail hubs such as the Costco Wholesale — Billy Bishop Way. If this issue matters to you, please consider learning more about Councillor Pasternak’s campaign and supporting the effort.

Vorschlag: Zwingende Vorgabe ins Gesetz, dass Endlagerung im Land erfolgen muss. Bei Auswahl einer geeigneten Endlagerstätte fallen dann alle Kantone raus, die geschlossen gegen neue Atomkraft gestimmt haben.

A Nextdoor user posts a picture of their large single family home under construction (framing only) with the text: "Jan 16th was the 35th anniversary of living in our house. Here's a pick of it while being built." 3 months later they post a complaint "It's unbelievable the changes they want to make to our lovely town" in response to another users complaint about downtown development.

Two mailers, one from the City talking about our crumbling infrastructure, and our inability to guarantee freshwater to Calgarians. The other from Calgarian’s for Thoughtful Growth (a bunch of bullshit in my opinion) reads: REPEAL BLANKET UPZONING Get the facts Make your voice heard NUMBERS MATTER 1. Register, attend, and speak at the public hearing 2. Submit a written comment 3. Email your Councillor 4. Encourage a neighbour to participate and spread the word Affordability • Upzoning doesn't require affordable units • Upzoning increased land costs • Entry-level homes replaced with higher-priced builds • Families must compete against commercial buvers Economic Factors • Decreased immigration has reduced nousins demand CREB reports housing prices and rents are declining • False funding fear - Calgary exceeded housing targets Infrastructure Capacity Existing neighbourhoods weren't built for a drastic increase in density • Water, sewer, electrical, roads, and schools differ by community • Upgrades are delayed or completely underfunded Local Planning One-size-fits-all zoning ignores neighbourhood context Repeal, Reset, and Restart • Repeal blanket upzoning Reset to previous zoning bylaw - no amendments • Restart local planning - designate best sites for density
#YYC mailer today is #NIMBY propaganda. No repeal guarantees the funds that are already earmarked for affordable housing. Breaking the HAF deal is not what I voted for. Good government is doing hard things, but when you have legal teams forming a grassroots misinfo campaign odds are in your favour.
And your description of #Seattle is spot on. I should have said that first. But it is 100% accurate with my experience in this area. It's a look away place. If I didn't see it it's not happening. #NIMBY
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here might have some insight into a zoning question that's come up in Willowdale. A three-storey quadplex with a garden suite is currently going up on Betty Ann, and I'm trying to understand how it moved forward without any public notice, community consultation, or a zoning meeting. From what | can tell, nothing was posted, no letters were sent out, and there wasn't any opportunity for residents to ask questions or give feedback. The permits weren't even posted on site until post demolition and scop has increased to quadplex. I'm wondering if this type of build is now allowed as-of-right under newer zoning rules, or if there's something specific about this property that exempts it from the usual process. If anyone has experience with recent zoning changes, minor variances, or how multi-unit builds and garden suites get approved, I'd really appreciate your insight. It would be great to understand what the rules actually are so we all know what to expect with future developments inthe area
Read in my local #Willowdale facebook group. So glad those people can't block... fourplex anymore.
Imagine the outrage if a 3 million dollar home was to be built and would require letters, public consultations, etc, etc. But yet, when it's 4 families […]

Here's another article, from @timescolonist.bsky.social, reporting on a tour of Victoria's iteration of #TinyTown. Digging through reportage on the Victoria shelter reveals a lot of positive discourse around the project. I think the positives outweigh the negatives here, despite #NWP & #NIMBY lies.

[6/8] La démarche #QUIMBY propose une autre logique. Au lieu d’opposer #NIMBY et promoteurs, les habitants participent dès le départ à définir les formes urbaines acceptables. Des enquêtes visuelles comparent différents types de logements et orientent ensuite les règles d’urbanisme.

Strongly agree with @johnlorinc.bsky.social “I don’t want to argue here for a completely laissez faire approach to development. But we need to think more closely about whether and how public scrutiny backfires.”

#NIMBY, misinformation fear, or, justifiable concerns?
Farmers have been blocking access for years and it's not just them affected.

Since we seem to be in the we're repeating history phase, a dictatorship and GESTAPO, etc, I'd advise everyone to stay away from the showers.
I'm not trying to be funny but if they're supposed to be deported, what's the need for places like these?
Don't allow this!
