Great work by @growtogetheryeg.bsky.social on making the case for more housing options in Edmonton. Unfortunate that Toronto is still the go-to counterexample for unaffordability getting out of control.
Edmonton's infill election is over, and Edmontonians overwhelmingly voted for a pro-infill council. The predicted backlash never came.
Now, it's time to build. And what better place to start than near our LRT stations.

Well, it's because infill is largely being built in a handful of neighbourhoods near the LRT.
Even in those neighbourhoods, infill is still occurring slowly, over the span of decades.

They are built of different materials and a little taller. But, at the end of the day, density makes neighbourhoods better.
And in a few years, the handful of rowhouses that will have been built will seem like they've always belonged.

Small apartments make QA great, and because they've been there for so long, it's hard to imagine the neighbourhood without them.
This era's midblock apartments may look different, just as most of this era's single family homes aren't bungalows.

When the areas within walking distance of our LRT stations are not planned for higher density, it doesn't matter how many incentives you give.
We must move forward on financial incentives, but also keep our eye on district plan changes to enable building in the first place.

It's never bad to prove this anew: It's true that housing markets are segmented!
But they're segmented in the exact opposite way as NIMBYs claim: New supply *barely lowers luxury rents*, it mostly *tanks rents in the old buildings* it draws tenants from

Our take: "Most of the infill that’s going in is within a short bus ride, bike ride, or walk to transit, or future transit. [...] This is working exactly as intended.” - @jacobdawang.com

Edmonton building fewer parking stalls than infill housing units
Edmontonians worried about parking problems with an influx of multifamily infill homes now have some data to back up their concerns. New data in a memo sent to city council in June, released publicly ...
