Calgary was zoned so we are maxed out at the possible numbers of houses we could build. Rezoning made it possible to build more and different types to suit people’s needs. Now the city is debating whether or not to turn it back to how it was bedore. This is bad for yyc.
Whether it's water or transit, serving a sprawling city is pricey:
"If we're to look at housing as a concern, we should look toward the hundreds of kms of new pipes, roads & utilities built to accommodate urban sprawl. This creates a structural problem."

Terrible to see this happen in our community, we can’t keep letting kids get hurt. I can only imagine what this family is going through.

Calgary is a rapidly growing city and our public transit needs to grow with it. Over a quarter-million people use the c-train every day, Calgarians deserve a city council that properly invests in this critical infrastructure. Learn more at the link in my bio!
Safety is one of the most important responsibilities of the city. However, solving crime is no simple matter. This is why I have a comprehensive plan that combines law enforcement with robust social services to address the root causes of crime. Learn more at the link in my bio!
The Alberta UCP government's new rules on automated traffic enforcement are a step backward for community safety. By restricting photo radar, they’re giving speeders a free pass at the expense of safer streets. A thread🧵:
