Well... we've completed the FA stage. When does FO land? #yyccc
Playing chicken with the Housing Accelerator funding has cost too much time & money! Will this ill-prepared performance cost us close to a billion? Projects hang in the balance & require the fulfilment of the agreement with the GoC. #YYCcc, like the #UCP, are proving to be an untrustworthy partner.
What's the better conversation on Calgary housing policy then, @djkelly.ca?
It must help those who'll never afford the cost housing will be after losing our federal funding, and not just those who hate the poor.

The promise Mayor Farkas and team made to Calgarians on the campaign trail was repeal and replace. And no repeal before a replacement plan was determined. This is a promise made but not kept. #yyccc #yyc
So far, I'm seeing a catastrophic failure in leadership at city hall. #Housing
Repeal of the 2024 changes to zoning — and returning to 60%+ of my city being single family homes and *only* single family homes is horrifying.
Banning building homes is not a strategy, #yyccc. #yyc
#yyccc Access to public street parking can’t be improved by having government enforce the amount of car sized storage units the housing market must absorb on private land.
Today the Public Hearing on City-Wide Rezoning concluded.
I appreciated the thoughtful, and heartfelt input that came from Calgarians across our city and tomorrow brings questions, debate, and amendments.

You are correct! But I use a browser extension that extracts it fast—Video DownloadHelper. I used to have to play and record in realtime. Also @nationalobserver.com recently launched CivicSearchlight which has transcripts + vid of #yyccc meetings. A godsend! civicsearchlight.nationalobserver.com
Riding boundary changes are usually boring - but not this plan. It would tilt political advantage to the UCP for many years. Column.

This is a picture that needs to be sent to city design teams working on any bike infrastructure projects that propose curb separated bike lanes that are separate from both the roadway and sidewalk. It is a stupid design when it comes to winter snow maintenance. #yycbike #yyccc
Let me get this 👆 straight…
Cllr Johnston nominated Cllr Atkinson to the Council committee on southern land annexation… 🤔
And then Cllr McLean makes the claim only southern Councillors should have a say on matters in their area…🤔
Fascinating!

This week, the Alberta government announced that charter schools will have access to reserve and municipal land in new communities, the same as public and separate (i.e. Catholic) school boards do. #ableg #yyccc
Can someone educate the department and explain that an overdose is a life threatening health condition, not “social disorder”!

Attention Calgary: if we make it harder to build housing and go back on our signed agreements with the feds, 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. #yyc #yyccc #Housing #cdnpoli

Ah Calgary. We were ahead of the curve… for a moment
And now we may be retreating if we get rid of rezoning efforts

#Calgary’s water restrictions are now over, officials said Thursday.
"Calgary you did it — we did it,” Mayor Jeromy Farkas said.

I understand the necessity but why can’t we have the sandbags to the side of the bike path? When the weather warms there are going to be a lot of cranky people sharing the pedestrian path with wheeling people! #yycbike #yyccc

Meanwhile councillors want to remove a measure to make it easier to build in our developed areas, and bring kids back to available schools. 🤔

What jeromyyyc.bsky.social neglects to tell us is that $200M in higher provincial property taxes will build new schools on the edges of a sprawling Calgary.
Yet only 69% of kids attending schools in CBE’s Central district actually live there.
Sprawl costs us.

I miss being able to get stories in the media on April 1st. Seeing how many people I could upset was always great! Thank you to all the delightful journalists who played along with me. #yyc #yyccc

Cool thing about SSRIA is that one of its founders brought back retrofit knowledge from Holland and is already doing it here. @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @mykeatkinson.bsky.social #yyccc @naheednenshi.bsky.social Work together on trust →true engagement →affordable homes → well being for all. 🌺
Semi-regular post that Calgary could be THE BEST BIKING CITY IN NORTH AMERICA if we spent a fraction of what Paris spent on more safe, separated on street lanes that networked to our 1000kms! of car free pathways #yycbike #yyccc www.fastcompany.com/91509506/how...
Separatists vow they've got the signatures. Firebrand Rath says Smith has to get with the program, and fast, or look like a drunk lighting cigars with $100 bills. (yah, he said that.) Column.

FYI: I showed up to city hall and said don't repeal re-zoning. #yyccc #yyc
It's a bad idea.
I also flagged the dozens of unfilled Affordability Taskforce recommendations that this council is still sitting on their tufts on.
My frustration? My rent has gone up 33% and council is paralyzed.
Can't overstate what a mistake it was for Calgary city council to eliminate the civic census in 2020. Most recent census data is 2021 (federal) and everyone cringes to use it in 2026. Given Calgary's explosive growth it's pretty much useless for understanding current pop + demographics. #yyccc
