Long thread warning:
Let's talk about this video's claim that we can "modernize City Hall's planning policies" and have "housing choice" while "stand[ing] up for single family zoning."

First, here's Calgary's R-1 zoning. In most of town (in orange), you can only build detached homes without Council approving a land use change. Our default doesn't allow much housing choice.
Now, let's talk about the ratio between the improvement (building) value and land value.
Now, let's talk about the ratio between the improvement (building) value and land value.
For example, most people don't buy a lot for $5 and build a granite building or buy a lot for $1M and put up a tent. When the land is worth considerably more than the building, most people will change the building. R-1 zoning restricts their options.

In the next few weeks people will begin advance polls for the Calgary Election and while my Mayoral candidate was easy, the #Ward3yyc choice was a challenging one with so many good candidates. However our family is throwing our support behind @NatePike 🧵 1/6 #yyc #yyccc #yycVote
Nate has always been a great leader in our community. He sees a need and he jumps in to fill it. He has been advocating for Ward 3 for years and win or lose I know he will continue to advocate for years to come. 2/6
The Pike family have been community focused for as long as I’ve known them; coffee shop benefit concerts, the community pantry, Nate’s time on NHCA board and his Snow Angel activities after every heavy snowfall. There are too many to even name. The Pikes put Community First! 3/6
This ought to be fun. Sign up, #Calgary. Over 75 years of adding bio-available #fluorine to our diet & watershed in the #USA, and our teeth are in terrible shape.

The facts are plain and simple. #Fluoridation does not prevent tooth decay. #yyccc #yycvote #yycfluoride #fluoridefacts #ableg

Weary attempts at maintaining a failed experiment, to save money, save face and to preclude any lawsuits for #dental enamel #fluorosis. Do not be #StampededCity, #Calgary. #SaveTheBees #NoToFluoridation #yycfluoride #yyccc #FluorideFacts #yycvote #yyccc
Promoting the science of #fluoridation, by trying to hide opposing viewpoints. That should be all it takes to #VoteNoToFluoridation, #Calgary. #Pathetic.

The 3-day finale of #yyccc 2017-2021 was lit!!! It’s hard to believe the writers were able to get so many great things resolved. Also, so many cool things have been set up for the next show: 2021-2025 (which will start filming on Oct 18). Here’s my recap of the highlights: 1/24
The finale opened w emotion: 1) #yyc-based members of the #TokyoOlympics/#TokyoParalympics #teamcanada were honored. 2) tributes to the retiring members of #yyccc, @DruhFarrell @EWoolleyWard8 @ChahalGeorge @Ward4Ward1 @CouncillorKeats & @nenshi, induced tears & good vibes. 2/24
After almost exactly 4yrs of work initiated by my learning about #BenefitDrivenProcurement @FCSSAAoffice’s AGM right after the 2017 #yycvote, getting an NoM passed by #yyccc, & development shepherded by @momentumcalgary’s @HareCourtney, we’ve approved a great policy!!! 3/24
There's no arguing a 4th wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is fully upon us. And there has been zero public conversation about it by #ableg or #yyccc. This is unacceptable. 1/ #yycvote
I believe public health is the responsibility of #ableg and without @jkenney, @shandro or @CMOH_Alberta making any public comments for weeks, the question of whether we have anyone working on the file is a legitimate one. 2/
In this information vacuum, some Calgarians are understandably worried. I would classify this as a failure of provincial leadership. 3/
Mike Nickel's campaign paid for a billboard attacking Aaron Paquette and Andrew Knack for not being anti-maskers.

Looks like @CrystalGlassLTD donated $5000 to Mike Nickel's election campaign.

I wonder if they donate to the #UCP too.
