Instead of pandering to the fear, why aren't people looking into why some are so change resistant when it comes to densification. This same group I'm sure overlaps with complaints about their property tax increases and lack of things around them.
Game Con Canada and the inaugural North American Games Industry Summit (NAGIS) are happening in just a couple of days! 🍁 🎮
Very excited to head down to Edmonton for both events.
Anyone else I know going? 👋
Canada’s largest gaming event returns to Edmonton this week alongside a new business conference.
Things that *are* objectively terrible for YEG neighbourhoods:
* declining population (fewer ppl per household in 2026 vs. the past)
* lack of housing options to move to once you age
* shrinking numbers for neighbourhood schools, use of services like buses or rec facilities, and local businesses
I once again offer my voice to any reporter writing a story on infill and quoting people who say "everyone knows these developments are terrible for neighbourhoods."
Our school is filled with kids. Most of my neighbours rent. You're quoting entitlement, not factual analysis.
