Constance Chlore then said "The reason I'm pushing on this is because for the last five years all across North America, people have breathlessly repeated the claim that crime or disorder has gone up because we defunded the police, a thing that literally did not happen." However, it can be argued that defunding the police was linked to an uptick in crime - there are various reasons for crime increasing but it cannot be denied that defunding the police could be one of the factors. The subsequent increases to the police budget are good to see but doesn't change the fact that a left leaning city council slashed the police budget when several indicators of crime were on the upswing. I'm not sure why this is so controversial - after the George Floyd incident in the USA many city governments chose to jump on the progressive soupe de jour which was "defund the police" and the Edmonton city council did this as well. They apparently realized their mistake and did a quick correction - which was the pragmatic thing to do.

Yes yes we get it, you are preaching to the choir that social disorder drives away development dollars.

So how bout them buildings, I like tall ones with lots of podium level commerical spaces. I really like when the podium reflects the area's historical architecture and style, eg: 104 Street

Other people have already pointed out the Edmonton did not, in fact, defund the police. (A smaller increase in funding is not a decrease.) If you want to discuss this further, you can do it over at the Downtown Crime thread, but I'm not going to engage further here.

Not at all surprised at the occupancy rate. Visited a couple friends there about a month ago (forgot to take pics). Units are pretty typical for new rentals, small-ish open layouts but meets the needs. Amenity spaces are ridiculously well thought out and planned. Security is top notch as well.

That's really good, if this building can start gentrification of that area I'm all for it.
