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

The 2026 version of Calgary's citywide rezoning public hearing is now in the books - LiveWire Calgary

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

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.

What gives with snow clearing on the regional pathway from zoo bridge to Ogden rail bridge? Did the person in charge fall off the planet? #yycbike #yyccc #yyc

While many of the councillors campaigned on a certain viewpoint in the rezoning debate, is there anything that would sway their viewpoint? After all, there's this notion of being amenable to persuasion... #yyc #yyccc #calgary

The reality of being amenable to persuasion in Calgary's rezoning public hearing - LiveWire Calgary

Several sitting Calgary city councillors believe they can remain ‘amenable to persuasion,’ though most held a strong position on citywide rezoning during Calgary’s 2025 municipal election. With the first week of Calgary’s rezoning repeal public hearing wrapping up, Calgary city councillors have heard from roughly 300 citizens with varying perspectives on the issue, largely falling […]

Tonight I joined city council to chat about the push to repeal the zoning changes that were originally part of the 39 recommendations of the Housing Affordability Taskforce from 2023.

It was done on behalf of the Downtown Core Neighbourhood Association.

Give it a listen!
