When are we going to stop treating housing like it's pollution? This is so shameful. #yyccc.
There are always consequences to Council decisions. Today, with one vote, 7 Councillors voted down policy amendments that would have enabled more than 650 homes to be built. 650 homes for 650 families today. And countless more in the future. #yyccc #yyc

Everyone loves a good anti-housing lawsuit right?. Shout out to Utaye Lee for laying out why hearings are not representative nor democratic.

Infrastructure capacity for a development is evaluated at the DP stage by city & utility company engineers and no development ever proceeds without 1) either having capacity already or 2) paying for and installing capacity improvements. Your NoM is gatekeeping with more red tape.
@YYCNeighbours This is not what this motion is about. I’m in favour of smart growth that is respectful to community character and input. However, increased density in these communities could place more strain on systems that were built for a different era and are now overdue for assessment.

Important thread 🧵.
Lots of dunks on this already so I’m going to do an educational thread about the alternatives to small market housing. 1) First, to get it out of the way: people who grew up in North America are used to luxurious housing.

It’s ridiculous how many people forget to look at the Demand side of Supply & Demand when declaring more supply doesn’t work… .#HousingCrisis.
@EricDLombardi The "we've built density and the problem isn't solved" logic ignores what demand the supply was matched against. "Yesterday I had 4 meals to feed 5 people. Today I had 6 meals to feed 8 people. Tomorrow I'll have 9 meals to feed 12 people. See, more meals does not solve hunger.".
