Edmonton permitted 27% fewer homes through Q3 2026 than in record-setting 2025.

But look under the hood: 5–8 unit rowhomes are now the largest category of new homes in the city.

Read my Q3 building permit report 🧵

Is infill "destroying" Edmonton's neighbourhoods? Here are the facts:

📊 Only 1% of RS-zoned properties redeveloped since 2024

🏡 Half of new units have 3+ bedrooms

🚇 Density is clustering near LRT

📉 Most mature neighbourhoods have fewer people than 50 years ago

Get home from vacation to see another giant tree removed for another 8-plex project across the street.

Not easy to take when we don’t have boulevard trees in my community, and the city only demands the bare minimum of new landscaping.

And while we're at it @edmontonpolice.bsky.social -if you truly believe in greater #transparency like claimed this summer, how about releasing your donor list to the police association😉.

Why are so many slumlords and people with shady backgrounds on there?

If they did, there would be a lot of senior EPS officers and a former police chief facing multiple criminal charges (along with many UCP staffers like Arundeep Singh, Rob A., Spanky McAllister, Prisco)

I guess they're not really into arresting themselves huh.

Want to be transparent @edmontonpolice.bsky.social ? Tell the public what you did to myself and Duncan Kinney for a start.

They're busy trying to cover it up for the next year while it blemishes my otherwise clean criminal record, while still continuing to harass me and electronically in my new home province.

But hey, Dale got his promotion.
