It's quite simple actually. I own property in the neighborhood and it is shocking what is allowed to go on and people receive no consequences for. If someone has drugs or is selling or stealing arrest them. People who live in the neighborhood hate how unsafe it is and want some change. Enforce the law and it will clean up. No amount of social programs will fix things if there is no corresponding enforcement of the law. We can see looking around North America what the effect of social programs without the law does and it is not working whatsoever. I am not saying we don't need to improve schools and the community, that needs to happen as well, but that alone will not fix it.

100 years of fixing takes a mix of things will take 20yrs to see a revers befor it starts to improov

many of the addics need 24/7 care after they become addicted and relearn how to function and get the supports to move away from it. reality is we need to bring back institutions that are a jail of sorts or a mix but focus on mental health and physical health, some folks will never be able to fully leave the system others we cant help.

some people can be helped in weeks to months some take a few years and others are fried

theres no one solution just a bunch of things we need to do and accountability. as for dealers mules and supplyers yea we need to figure this out

also i dunno who here isnt aware the rcmp is severaly short staffed thes days in tune of something like 4000 officers

Back in 2015 some bioethicists were suggesting a return to an updated version of a psychiatric asylum to deal with mental health/addiction issues. The main hurdle, other than the cost, is the public perception (not unwarranted in some cases) that asylums were basically cruel dumping grounds for troubled people.

I think it would take very rigorous oversight and a massive re-branding campaign to get much of the general public to accept an updated mental health asylum, as there would be endless comparisons to "One flew Over the Cuckoo's Next" and "Bedlam". From a strictly public safety perspective, however, I can't think of a system other than an asylum that would do the job, though I am by no means a mental health professional.

What do you all think of this new proposal from Vancouver? Personally I would love to see about a dozen of these type of builds pop up around Central Winnipeg.

optimusREIM · #**11026** Posted **Feb 9, 2024, 5:35 PM**

OF course, that's exactly what should line most arterial streets.

Would definitely love to see more buildings like that in Winnipeg. The recently completed building at 835 Notre Dame Ave is essentially a cheaper version of the rendering that you showed. I think it looks pretty decent. Replaces a surface parking lot so it's major improvement over what was there before. Here is a Google Maps screenshot below.

Keep in mind that buildings in Winnipeg as always going to be built cheaper than Vancouver, all other things equal. Vancouver is currently sitting at an average of $2700/month for newly listed 1-bedroom apartments while Winnipeg is sitting at $1340/month.

Very nice. It's cool to see West Broadway getting some love. Now if only they'd finish the cladding on the LGBT old folks home on Broadway. I'm getting tired of seeing the three little sections of colour on the front and nowhere else haha.

Peguis certainly is doing it's best to alienate all potential employees trying to sort out their financials. Anyone know what the Chief's end game is here? They made 2 million bucks in 3 months, you'd think they'd be ecstatic.

^ did you read in the article who it was that "assisted" Peguis with the sale?

I would definitely want someone to carefully follow the $$ on this one. Profit or not.

optimusREIM · #**11033** Posted **Feb 15, 2024, 4:22 PM**

It just seems by the sounds of the article that the new chief has a different opinion than the trustees. It seems to me as though this is trying to manufacture some sort of scandal.

I'm unfamiliar with his name, is he of the Katz and Sheegl ilk?

bomberjet · #**11035** Posted **Feb 15, 2024, 4:33 PM**

Yes.

On the surface he seems to be coming from an altruistic / spiritual point of view that first nations should cherish their land and not use it as a quick flip. I guess implication is that the outgoing chief took kickbacks on the whole deal. Marques was involved at the get go as part of the flip.

Completely different question is why the province sold the land at well below market value when surplus crown land is supposed to for for fair market value.

Yep, bad enough seeing a bunch of detached houses going in on such as prime location. But it's worse than that because it's a gated community with no properties facing Wellington Crescent. The infill guidelines very clearly state that infill houses must be facing the street. Hopefully the City throws the book at them.
