Edmonton: Major updates to the Zoning Bylaw allowing up to 8 units as-of-right city-wide in redeveloping areas, supporting &quot;gentle density&quot; and missing middle housing forms (e.g., secondary suites, backyard housing alignments).

I hope we move away from closing everything early or closing storefronts to foot traffic because someone deemed 'undesirable' may come in.

Everyone I know who has visited MB has been shocked by the screening requirements at our Liquor stores.

I don't have a solution to offer, I just want to point out that this current solution suck's and creates a society of fear.
