Not really a fan of Taft....but the guy basically summed up everything we discuss on here on a regular basis. My opinion my have changed.
Three opinions that correlate to the Edmonton I want to live in. it would have been interesting if the journal did something similar to that ten years ago...probably a very different vision.

before moving to homeward trust, susan was the executive director for the edmonton downtown develoment corporation and was an active member in the international downtown association among other industry groups and organizations. she was intimately involved in the redevelopment of the goodridge block as well as much of the current legislation affecting downtown and some of the areas around it. from some of your comments i would hazard a guess that she probably has a lot more experience and a lot better grasp of what makes successful downtowns work - and what doesn't - than you do. and take it from me, dealing with homelessness and the issues surrounding it will probably do more than the next curtainwall office or condo will on their own to making downtown work better for all of us. because homelessness doesn't "work" for any of us at any level.
