Calgary wants its cake and eat it too.

The city needs to start buy not subsidizing all car infrastructure. Shopping malls and car parks need to be paid for by the developers. The city should only subsidize up to the curb ideally.
Streets in new developments don’t need to be built extra wide with a “future expectation” on traffic flow. The maintenance of roads usually falls on the city, and a one lane extra wide street that fits 4-5 cars accross costs much more to resurface every few years. In most cases these wide streets never see the expected traffic.
Traffic lights also costs money to maintain and operate. Cities spend a ton of money here alone. Proper roadway design with a clear destination between a street, a road, a highway, and interstate highwhighway can cut down on this. Not everything needs to be a “strode” with lights at every intersection.
More proper width low speed streets, with proper traffic calming equal less requirements for signalised traffic lights. Most intersections could get away with stop signs or small traffic circles.
Proper higher speed roads designed with no curbs or driveways. This cuts down on conflict zones between higher speed traffic and pedestrians. Properly paired with roundabouts which are cheaper to maintain then signalized traffic lights.
City design that is people focused first as opposed to car first. Less maintenance for a pedestrian zone street then a high flow “strode”
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. The goal of congestion pricing is to get money flowing back into transit and at the same time allow transit to become more efficient (ie. stuck less behind cars)
With the increase in revenue this allows upgrades of existing infrastructure and transit routes, and with left over money for future expansion.
Ultimately like you said, maybe leading to potentially above ground streetcars at somepoint.
Habeas corpus is a long-standing legal protection that allows people to ask a court to review whether their detention or imprisonment is lawful.
This does not just target immigrants, this targets everyone (that’s not a billionaire)
All good, I upvoted your comment and was not disagreeing with you. Not sure why you got down voted. Your comment is valid, I was just building on top of it, basically mirroring what you said TBH.
If your neighbour came into your house and took over the living room and front foyer how would there even be a compromise?
I don’t see any way that Ukraine could allow an aggressor to just take a part of Its land, displace a large chunk of the population, and then say its okay you can have what you took by force so far.
You are correct Putin is going to say No to giving back any portion of land he took by force.

Marty, you’re just not thinking fourth dimensionally!
Privatization and then closure, blaming lack of profitability.
National postal service is a public service just like public transportation. It is not meant to be profitable on its own. Ita existence alone is profitable as a service to the community and country.
Public services should not have a necessity to “operate in the green”, these are public funded services with government tax funding.
Edit:
Public roads like highways are publicly funded. You don’t see car companies building infrastructure for consumer to have a place to drive their products.car
Most PCs no longer have floppy disk readers or CD drives, where are they going to put the placebo or drugs in. /s
UK plugs seem to have a few good design details.
Tariffs = Taxs
A tax that is paid by ultimately the consumers of a product.
This “tax” is collected by the local government from local importers. Importers pass the costs of this tax on to local consumers. Other countries do not pay the “hard costs”.
This is why good infrastructure that is people focused is a win for everyone.
Everyone wins here including drivers with clear roadways and proper clear rules/signage.
Aww, soooo close to it fully sinking.
This group will soon be shut down by DOGE, in three, two, one.
Being homeless in The USA is illegal.
Which I suppose now means all these people can technically be deported as criminals.
The handel looks to have multiple uses outside the instruction manual.
Its apart of a Watercooling setup
Remember not all studies on the health effects of substance use are there to advocate that the substance be made illegal. Smoking as a example is still around and there are countless studies available to the public to make informed decisions.
Substance use should be up to the individual like all choices that can effect you directly, “my body my choice” so to say. All individuals should have access to all knowledge available freely and without prejudice.
Studies on cannabis use becoming more common should be seen as a good thing, as cannabis use has become less taboo and thus easier to study without researcher receiving backlash.
Now you may disagree with some studies, and that is your right. But to advocate against studies related to the substance IMO at least is hypocritical, as it advocates against the very thing that made the substance legal.
I am a non-smoker and have not tried cannabis, but believe people should have the freedom to choose
Was this dude not just a twitch streamer or something?
I definitely remember he’s not exactly qualified
