Ahem, if you are coming all the way to Edmonton, why not swing by Calgary too? We would love to host you.

When are we going to stop treating housing like it's pollution? This is an appalling outcome.

Nerdfighters for more neighbours!

We accept donations by e-transfer currently at info@moreneighbourscalgary.ca

Not a registered charity so no tax receipt available. We will use the money to organize informative events, and boost pro-housing voices.

DM if you have questions.

We are! As reliably as a scrappy volunteer-based grassroots organization can...

Yes, please, we need you Reece!

Dec 3 Public Hearing Recap: Council Kills Crucial Transit-Oriented Development (and some positive non-market news!) Or: Why we have a housing crisis.

Have a read of our recap of last week's bittersweet public hearing.

Thanks to all who showed up in support of low-income and transit-oriented housing!

One wonders who our city council actually represents?

There are many reasons that Calgary doesn't have enough truly-affordable housing, but public hearings like the one happening right now are a big part of it. www.youtube.com/live/L9CBK7Q...

Thanks for coming!

Thanks to everyone who came out for Non-Market Housing 101!

We need to be saying yes... and to all types of housing. It was great to hear from those building affordable housing in our city.

This is happening today! Join us to learn more about how you can support affordable housing in Calgary.

A timely message for National Housing Day.

That's a great idea. Hopefully we can record some or all of the event and share it with people who can't make it in person.

@amoralorealis.bsky.social is one of the best communicators on the causes and effects of our broken housing system in the entire internet.

And do we cast a slight shadow on a tomato plant somewhere in the neighbourhood?

Everyone agrees that Calgary needs more truly affordable, non-market housing. Why is it so hard to actually get it built?

Join us to learn more about the barriers to affordable housing, and how you can support these projects. (Snacks provided!)

Great thread on today's budget adjustments hearing.

An anti-housing lawsuit here in Calgary kinda gets the point by missing the point: Public hearings are not democratic and representative processes.

More, including a video from Utaye Lee on the subject here: open.substack.com/pub/moreneig...

Nice to see you cousin!
