NEW POST While cities across North America struggle with housing shortages, Edmonton is proving that zoning reform works. In 2025, for the first time in history, the number of homes permitted in 5-8 unit rowhomes surpassed detached homes. 🧵 #yeg #yegcc #yimby www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/zb...

I’m unemployed but it still feels like Monday is the start of work again

So excited to get this up somewhere

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get way more annoying with 311 complaints. Anytime I see a car parked on a sidewalk, or construction equipment in the bikelane I am gonna report it ASAP

I love my Arc card, but I just drained my balance and idk if I am gonna refill it now that I can just use my debit card

No offence to Edmonton, but I sorta assumed BART would be operating on an order of magnitude higher boardings than our LRT I always underestimate the Canadian power of running half decent bus service

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

My ranking for movies released in 2025!

There will be so many cars that none of them will be able to move

for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

But we NEEDED those telephone poles in the middle of the sidewalk how will children build character on their trips to school if they don't have to fit between speeding cars and telecom infra on the 1.5m sidewalks

okay yeah this is pretty cool

Wild rating distribution on this one, cannot wait to see ping pong movie

My experience of owning an EV in some of the coldest, snowiest months of 2025, versus my old Honda Accord. #ElectricVehicles #ClimateChange #ev #ioniq5 https://chadohman.ca/three-months-of-owning-an-ev-in-alberta/

That's 51 deaths in a state of 7 million, compared to over 30 in our city of 1.2 million. that's over 3.5x more deaths per capita in Edmonton than Victoria There is still so much we can do to make our streets safer just by trying to be more like Australia

Final version of the map made for Christmas! I think it looks pretty good.

I think our LRT budgets would be smaller if we didn't use them to massively expand our road infrastructure...

This is in Edmonton's Trumpeter neighbourhood outside of the Henday There is no reason why all new neighbourhood and main street commercial can't look like this across the city

Amazing how bad Only Murders in the Building has gotten, like the first season was cute, now it is just incomprehensible slop

So jealous, Mexico City is so high up on my travel list

I think that Wîhkwêntôwin should cede the land in blue to Queen Mary Park in exchange for a military alliance to invade Westmount and Downtown and capture the areas in red for Wîhkwêntôwin

On 102 ave and every single car that drove along it was in the bike lane lol

I do really like it that all Valley Line drivers wave to each other when their LRVs pass

Don’t like rising property taxes? Consider: - driving less/using transit more (to save our infrastructure) - welcoming development in your mature neighbourhood (to add rate payers without building new infra) - buying less from Amazon (they don’t pay taxes to us but use infra) - going downtown

If you haven’t been here before, the indoor garden in the Citadel is one of my favourite places in Edmonton Such a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere

One of the best parts about taking the Valley Line is the many construction projects I get to monitor the progress of I watched Link95, the Winspear expansion, the Edmonton Ski Club, so many plexes, and now Strathearn Heights

Why do we insist on putting fences infront of townhouses that face a fairly quiet street? This can’t be easier for the residents who have to walk all the way around now

We need more shelters and housing, amputations from frostbite are preventable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I hate the whole concept of humanoid robots It screams of wanting to own and control a being rather than wanting a job done efficiently Let’s make robots optimized for their task, not so that you feel like you have a butler you can order around

Canadian politics has recently (and I am assuming forever) been so incredibly obsessed with jurisdiction battles that we completely abandon discussing an idea based on merit If a Provincial government is messing with cities in a bad way it is bad, if it is doing it in a good way it is good

One more dedicated left-turn and right-turn lane will fix it, bro, I promise. All we need is just a couple more lanes and longer cycles to increase throughput.

Most of these types of sites like Meta have essentially become the air we breath, keeping these utilities that hundreds of millions of people rely on everyday in private hands makes us as a society so vulnerable to the whims of billionaries

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is that those busses that bend in the middle should make accordion noises

Trust me guys, we need 4 stops between 109 st and 124 st

I am downloading Cincinnati

I hope that the opening of Line 6 breaks us out of this "good transit vibes" era North America has been in. We prioritize streetcar aesthetics to try and sell vibes to developers and riders instead of caring about the actual speed and frequency of our transit Transit should be fast!!!

This morning was the most excited I’ve been paying for transit in a while

Just from the eye test, TPS would be amazing, but I think they should consider not operating some stops Some are within a few blocks of each other and are easily walkable. The Valley Line has 12 stops over 13km, Finch has 18 over 10

I am still of the opinion that Twin Brooks should not be getting an LRT station It is a rich single family neighbourhood that will not see densification Is too isolated for it to improve any regional trips It will slow down trips for the rest of the line

Only change I would make: they truck didn't just "turn against a traffic light", left turns there are NEVER allowed regardless of the colour of the light

Never thought I would be so excited over an enhanced cleaning program passing at council, but I cheered when they said the resulting tax increase would be below 7%

Really good headline, directly putting blame on the driver who made an illegal turn edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/12/03/v...

This is an incredibly positive story re: housing density in Banff. Personally I don’t think we could ever build enough “gentle density” to make Banff affordable, but still a positive step youtu.be/CstPL88iEnw?...

JOE KEERY IS DJO!?!?

This video perfectly encapsulates something I’ve felt about Minecraft for a long time I want an environment that reacts to my actions, that is self sustaining and evolving, that feels alive even when I am not there youtu.be/f21YJ5pjPog?...

Taxes are so cool, I would love the subscription fee to my city to be higher in exchange for not worrying about being killed by a car on the well-maintained sidewalk that leads to my frequent bus stop
