Calgary committee debates new communities, climate impacts of future population growth

A strategy to facilitate Calgary’s future growth, including eight proposed new communities, was front and centre at a city committee on Monday.

City administration recommended that committee members approve only five of the new proposed communities to help meet demand, with an additional three new communities that could possibly be supported if risks around “servicing, operating cost efficiency and absorption” can be mitigated. Another $83 million over four years is recommended for established areas in the city that is expected to cover capacity building projects and “improve the attractiveness of established areas.”

There were 85 members of the public registered to speak during Monday’s meeting, and several told committee the proposed strategy and new communities are in conflict with the city’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

I don’t listen to one word coming from virtue signalling YYCC members like gccarra & JyotiGondek. Neither are financially literate, much like liberal_party.

I keep asking myself how paying more taxes changes the climate...

And you wonder where poor people will live.
