Thanks for checking out [email protected]! I've tried to improve the information in the sidebar a little, of course more work can be done If you have suggestions for the sidebar, please drop them here or in a message!

If this community continues to pick up steam, it probably wouldn't hurt to have more moderators also.

Cheers!

“To try and build things that involve limited parking or restricted parking or reduced parking makes absolutely no sense to me,” Laurenson said.

This is infuriating to read... :(

There is a lot of research showing mandatory parking actually drives housing prices up:

Basically, Jasper is making it illegal ❌ to build an apartment/home without parking 🅿️.

In other words, new home buyers are indirectly forced to pay for parking. Even if they are 100% okay with buying an affordable home/apartment that doesn't including parking.

Basically, mandatory parking requirements forces people to pay for the cost of car ownership, even if they just want a roof over their head.

Mandatory parking is one of the many reasons why Los Angeles housing is so expensive:

He didn't mention your name. But he was talking about you Danielle.

You are the leader of a major Canadian province. With great power comes great responsibility. Many Alberta voters really like you. They genuinely trust you. Don't spread total bullshit

You triggered a major disease outbreak:

Doctors and nurses now have to deal with this:
