@ElonCan @AndrewKnack It's always about parking. Cars are the problem, in a city of 1.2 million there shouldn't be a need to have one. Put more $ into transit to match the amount of infill to keep people out of cars

@AndrewKnack Changes. Yea from 8 to 6 units. It should be 4 units. Where are people going to park. We will never be a driverless society in Edmonton.

It’s no secret: The housing crisis is real. We must build more homes to stay ahead, ensuring affordability and housing options instead of growth in new areas that will drive up costs. We can welcome more neighbours while preserving what we love most about our neighbourhoods BUT we need to make sure infill benefits everyone. Here's how I'll do that: andrewknack.ca/blog/responsib… Want to learn more about my campaign? Simply text KNACK to 90993 and we'll let you know how you can get involved.
