So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.

I'm at the National Assembly building. The army is here. And I just saw two soldiers in fatigues getting pushed around by belligerent ajusshis. and they looked legit scared.

Hey so rowhouses?

They're not "intense" or "medium" or "high" density.

They're low density.

damn good luck I guess

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Calgary city council chambers - empty

Today is an important public hearing day at #yyccc. It’s the day that council undertakes mid-cycle budget adjustments. Effectively, it’s an opportunity to realign the multi-year budget with emerging priorities & back up council decisions with $$. Here’s a quick 🧵on my thoughts👇

Marco Rubio. He’s easily the most neocon of the bunch and he and trump have a bad history. Could easily see that falling apart

Sounds good to me!

Are Bluesky’s servers having issues right now with all the new people flooding in or is it just me?

Opinion: Alberta Premier Smith must resist the temptation to treat AIMCo as the province’s cookie jar Increased political influence at AIMCo would be a disaster for Alberta retirees and a setback for the Canadian model of capital pools set up to deliver on the promise of a reliable pension

‘There’s a real possibility the money funding retirement for thousands of Albertans will be invested in UCP pet projects.

If Smith’s UCP [controls] AIMCo in #Alberta, they are tying citizens’ future retirement income to fossil fuels.’

Man I wish Calgary could be as competent as Montreal when it comes to this stuff

Lately instead of paying attention to the awful mess down south I’ve been door-knocking with my amazing @albertandp.ca MLA Nagwan Al-Guneid. Met a bunch of nice folks at the doors who are supporters, and a couple who aren’t (yet) but who were excited about the new leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social.

LMAOOOO

During question period, Councillor McLean is asked about the City’s work-from-home policy. He says it would be inappropriate for City workers to log in to remote meetings from a ski hill.

It’s hard to dream small with a (Blue)sky this big.

Hi friends!

Howdy, I'm Inam Teja!

I'm new here so I figure an introduction is in order. I'm a policy nerd, community volunteer, and recovering finance bro.

Come follow me for content on housing policy, the Calgary Flames, or my love of Calgary's food scene!

Aha yeah I’m in this one too lol

lol same I gained like 50 followers overnight which makes me think I’m in a starter pack somewhere

What’s cool about this site is I can post anything and I don’t have a dozen blue check accounts with Trump assassination photos or NFT profile pics immediately swarming me telling me to die. So that’s nice.

Would recommend this feed if you want to see what people are posting, but don’t want your feed clogged up by endless reposts. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I’ve been binge-listening to sprawlcast by @klaszus.bsky.social, and if you’re interested in Calgary or Alberta politics, it’s just amazing local journalism :) highly recommend!

Rendering of Line 5 development with red buildings showing the proposed/approved developments

Toronto's Line 5 is a perfect example of value capture. Along 2 miles of the new line, over 35k housing units will be developed, with the resulting property taxes and new residents more than covering the capital costs of the transit.
Pairing new housing w/ transit is a no-brainer.

Not a definitive list but a short list of folks I’ve found on this site who have interesting things to share about Alberta politics. Enjoy. 🤠

Hey, I’m Cam!

I’m a student at the university of Calgary and am interested in politics and urbanism.

I’m a fan of pro-housing policy and public transit, and not a fan of science denial.

I’m new to this platform so give me a follow if you’re interested in activism/organizing about this stuff :)

law and order!

Lots of new people on this platform now. Please enjoy this shot of a car parked in a Montreal bike lane actually getting towed.
