I think we need the data to catch up with what has and is still being built. What is happening with the market, with occupancy, with impact on neighbourhoods? What percentage of eight-plex units are occupied by long-term residents?

There is a need to prevent investment firms from pricing out family opportunities to purchase a home. The current trend will see Edmonton become like Toronto or Vancouver where housing affordability skyrockets. The flooding of the market with housing starts is having the opposite effect than what was intended with increasing the supply. All are being built with capital a regular family cannot afford. No opportunities for first home buyers.

I live in an older neighborhood and the toll it is taking on the infrastructure is really hard. Parking. Noise. And services.

8-plexes don’t belong in the middle of a block of single family homes. Size and scale is ridiculous, destroying neighborhoods and enjoyment of property by homeowners unfortunate to be next door to one of these new builds. There seems to be no governance over the building stands (window wells in middle of sidewalks, sump pumps flooding neighboring properties etc)

Destroying property values and quality of life cannot not possibly be the best path forward by Edmonton leadership. I implore you to consider that all other cities are using Edmonton as a cautionary tale of how not to approach growth. Calgary put a full stop to blanket re-zoning once they saw the damage being caused and heard the concerns of the constituents they represent. Red Deer and St Albert refused to even begin with blanket re-zoning. It’s possible to do better.

Neighbor’s need to be comfortable with the housing around them. Consulting and talking with the proposals for new buildings must be done. Council needs to allow administration, developers and Neighbors to work together.

There is a 5 unit development set to develop down the street from my parents home that is extremely out of place and ill thought out for the planned area. Not on a bus route, not close to amenities, no street parking available, and where nothing else like it exists nearby. This will gravely impact the surrounding houses and neighborhood and likely become a nuisance property.

Infill without parking, schools and community services will crush our property values, clog our streets and overflow our communities. This is without consideration and consultation with those who invested in Edmonton and voted a council, that has their agenda over the voters that put them in their position.
