@brentbellamy.bsky.social is right, we need higher density. We need to make better decisions on how we grow as a city: higher density, less car dependent, less sprawl.

A pair of new public opinion polls show that Winnipeggers believe the city urgently needs more funding to address burgeoning challenges in infrastructure, public safety and homelessness.
