This is a great perspective and thanks for showing the fasts. I'm an appraiser, I am very aware of this having to analysis highest and best use every day but the average citizen can't see past their fear of "big developments". I get asked about this rezoning quite a bit. The way I like to think about it is may allow average homes owners to also participate in increasing the housing supply on existing infrastructure. Think of the elderly couple trying to stay in their 1950's bungalow, barley able to afford their property tax bill. The new zoning allows them to have a basement suite and maybe convert a garage into a suite. They can collect rents and afford to stay in their homes. That said, I do think they need to keep parking requirements - 1 offstret parking per dwelling unit. This is the single big issue that will affect everyone and maybe the city would have more support if they just kept the parking requirements. That's my two cents anyway!
I’m interested to see if these new multi-family homes will be build in the downtown core? In high-end communities? They have larger lots down there? Is this going to apply to all communities equally?
5% of lots could have larger 4x4 townhomes is what he's saying. The rest could have another single family home (mcinfill mansion), duplex, tri or quad plex (no suites), +/- garage suites. Again it depends on the lot and the market for that area.

This video will not age well. Please don’t delete this for at least 5 years when we have a chance to check back. Look at 3:57 at the monstrosity built next to someone’s single family home.

Truth, our area has a corner lot (2 actually), that despite what is said here, both are slated for eight units. Parking is already a serious challenge in the area, and this is going to tip it over the edge. It won't take five years, it's already circling the drain just a few months in.

"Meeting" the demand of the never ending internal immigration from East and West? Rental deficit (that can be fixed with a bunch of "London Towers" built strategically throughout YYC)? To me, this looks like a carte-blanche and big dollars for developers and new inventory for realtors. But what do I know.
NOT IN MY BACK YARD! Regardless of the number being 1.8% or even lower, no home owner wants high density housing near them decreasing the entire neighbourhood’s property value. So I’d rather not take the chance than have one of the 1.8% properties falls closer/next to my home
The effects are much broader in the neighborhood and thr city then worrying about a 4 plex on the block. See the results of this rezoning I n American cities. There are pros and cons exactly like the ye and ne thinks
City council is sure making a big deal out of a very small percentage of the city that could do this. 🤔 How much of that 1% of the city properties that can be turned into compact rentals are owned by the city council and their friends?
If you look at the Marda Loop area I would suggest that the number of lots with this sort of development is around 30% . Maybe if you look at the whole city the percentage is lower. Unfortunately the older areas are going to get negatively impacted by this proposal.
Thank you for sharing this. Yes more older inner city lots will be effected, however they would be rezoning the city not just the inner city lots. When focusing on inner city there will be more impact locally vs across the city.
@@ChamberlainGroup Slow the uncontrolled flow of immigration and expand outward. Build road and infrastructure for smooth commuting and get off this fake environmentalist agenda. That would be the first step Chamberlain realtor.
@@ChamberlainGroup I would start with making a quick area with mobile home pads and start rolling them in from around North America. You could probably slap up 10,000 pads in a year run them on temporary septic systems and have very affordable housing probably less then 100k each which on a 20 year (longest allowed for these) your looking at $775 at 7% per month less then 1/3rd the rent of an apartment in the city. I know they sell for 300k right now but that is because the city has been bulldozing down all of them creating an artificial shortage spiking the price. These infills are good for Yuppies but not families, They tend to be sub 1200 Sq feet with almost not basement and no sound proofing. I have lived near a bunch of these and not only is there no where to park but the roads become impassible as you can not back out of your drive way safely if you are in a place with a drive way. The cars are right up to the edge of your drive way blocking any view. We were always calling Parking control to have people towed which would make us late for work. I have a 75x150 lot and if they start popping up near me we are selling and moving as fast as possible. They also sell for almost as much as a house making it no help to the current situation. A new house right now is almost 50% tax maybe they should drop the tax on it for a few years and we will see a lot of people able to afford a new place.
We understand your position as a realtor on this pushing for rezoning for obvious reasons. But please undestand that why people choose to move to calgary to start their new life and buy home here. Becuase of its distinct feature of city offering single vamkly homes and peaceful coomunities to live and raise families. If one has to live in a condo even after moving to calgary from GTA or GVA, then those places arent bad as they offer more growth in terms of career opportunities. I appreciate the cooments of others on this video wherein one has pointed out that we need more affordable housing rather than more unaffordable smaller housing. This rezoning will creat more noise, chaos and trafic in our beautiful communities. Even two or three such developments in smaller communities will disturb the whole system of that area. Calgary city has no dearth of funds. They are planning to built a sport facility with a cost of staggering $800 million somewhere in downtown for which province has said no more funds but city mentions that they dont ned province support on this project as they have enough cash to support this. City can develop more communities in sorrounding areas of calgary with that amount of money which will benifit thousands of people in terms of affordable housing. Im not against any sport infrastructure in our beautiful city, but the need of the hour is Housing and not stadiums.
You’ve got to be more technically accurate when you are presenting this info. Nobody is saying your an authority on the topic but you could look a little deeper into some of the broader statements and refine for accuracy, particularly on two topics. 1 is lot size suitability for a given project and 2 is actual sales over the quarter for townhouse destined land deals. You didn’t do either, but you easily can because you have realtor access to the mls
Appreciate your comment. It seems that you believe I'll be able to see individual sales and their intended uses, which isn't a thing on the backend of the MLS system. It would be full speculation of me of what the buyer of a piece of land is going to do. Just because a property that sold is of a certain size, doesn't mean that it has a single end use. Apologies if I misunderstood your comment, please correct me if I did.
@@ChamberlainGroup you are getting the density calculation wrong. # of units Needed min lot size sq ft 3 4306 4 5741 5 7176 You claimed 800ish was the most land could be viably built upon as townhouse development. We have seen sales far higher than that - approaching 1.2 m. Markets change and as they change more types and values of property will work meaning, hopefully we will see townhouses being built in former r1 communities such as the elbow parks
This should have been made clear from the start. Poor communication from the city yet again. Rezoning is but one hoop to jump through of many to get something actually built. Kelownas idea does seem pretty novel and ingenious. Thanks for the video.
Do you think blanket rezoning will inflate land values and lead to even more speculative investments? If land speculators purchase & hold more properties and developers are slow to build due to shortages in qualified tradespeople, does this not increase the likelihood of reducing the supply of housing in the short-term and worsening affordability issues in the city? Shouldn't blanket rezoning be tackled once there is already a greater supply of non-market housing to absorb the short-term effects of land speculators and inflated land values? Basically, it seems like the inelasticity of supply in our current context should be a much greater cause for concern.
I actually agree that this could be done at a time when there isn’t a shortage of homes and that could help. However, it’s like holding a bag of water with a fish in it with a small hole. Something needs to be done or things could get worse quickly.
Why is Canada always think about higher density and rezoning, why don't they open new cheaper land/lots as Canada is so big and we have lots of space. To make houses cheaper in Canada is to free more land and use our own lumber resources and of course to remove too much tax and restrictions for these resources.
@@robertguay3773 exactly. New money will find its use, people will keep paying. Long gone are the days when Canadians got money back from budget surplus.
There should be a limit of 5% per community that way both the city and the home owners could live with it. The city should not be able to increase in future. Maybe in new communities 10% as part of plan grouped together This is not going to change overnight and the city should work with the people living in these communities Is this a democracy? We need to work together
@@curtismah1261 It didn't autocorrect. The details don't matter that much, I'm hoping the main point got across that was briefly mentioned and I answered from the video.

Strategic rezoning not blanket. Behind anderson train station would be a great place to build some apartments. You have Anderson and Macleod tr Shopping a train station, stoney is near by. Queensland has hardly any transit poor access, and lack of much around it with out a car (the area near the deer valley mall is all condos already). You need to go through each area and make decisions not just a blanket see what happens.
Blanket rezoning is a childish, thoughtless alleged solution to home affordability. Here's what needs to be done instead: • heavily taxing investors of residential property; • banning foreign ownership by creating a registry that links homeowners with citizenship; and • not allowing businesses/corporations/REITs to own low-density residential real estate To top it off, the next suggested video is by BNN Bloomberg, “Canada is increasingly seen as a money-laundering haven…”
So, basically you have said that you reacted negatively to the idea of blanket rezoning without having any information on the topic and assuming the worst case scenario is what would take place all across the city in every neighbourhood. And you are a real estate professional? This is the worst example of clueless NIMBY's who say no to everything without spending any mental energy to actually educate themselves on the issue to determine if it is a good idea or not. At least you eventually learned something on the topic, so I will give you credit for that as this is more that most people will do. That being said, based on your initial knee-jerk reactionary position which you outlined in the video, I would never trust your judgement enough to hire you as my real estate professional.
The blame isn't with residents, the blame falls at the feet of the city who put out a whim announcement with no details. Detials came later. Everyone had "knee-jerk" reactions because there was no info. But, good to see you don't make "knee-jerk" reactions on real estate professionals without doing your homework ;)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This information hasn’t always been there, and I’d rather be honest about my thoughts and experiences vs pretending to know everything and have everything together. If your criteria for an agent or team to work with is broken because of this, then we probably wouldn’t have ever worked well together anyways. Happy Sunday!
@@Reggie-bu7dn information was available if you wanted to find it. Also, using your brain to do some critical thinking was also available to consider what some options might be to possible multi-family options which might exist other than assuming the only option is a massive development. It is not a knee-jerk reaction to be calm and put thought into possibilities instead of simply opposing every option without trying to consider other alternatives.
@@ChamberlainGroup You are likely correct that we would never have worked well together. I expect a real estate professional to do research on real estate options before making recommendations to clients. Your own video shows that you did no research before you made your immediate judgement to be a NIMBY. I expect professionalism from a real estate professional and you displayed a complete lack of professional judgement on this topic.

Through covid lockdowns I constantly was calling trying to stop the madness, I told them over and over that they will destroy the dollar and cause massive poverty. Now I just call them to remind them I was right and now inflation is so bad most people can not afford rent or groceries.
It comes down to options to build, if we never have options then cities and neighborhoods will never evolve. Rezoning is needed.
Thank you for sharing this. Options are good to have and know about. It comes down to what others choose to do with those options.
Strategic rezoning not blanket. Behind anderson train station would be a great place to build some apartments. You have Anderson and Macleod tr Shopping a train station, stoney is near by. Queensland has hardly any transit poor access, and lack of much around it with out a car (the area near the deer valley mall is all condos already). You need to go through each area and make decisions not just a blanket see what happens.
What is exactly meant by “evolve”…?? Incredibly vague.
Actually easy for a realtor to say. So much sales to be made.
How? Many of these units that would be built are for rentals.
They are trying to get you out of ypur car and everyone living in 325 sq ft. Get out of large cities next will be 15 minute neighborhoods.
Funny how almost every Canadian city is 'Rezoning' right now. Must have something to do with those federal dollars. Not what is good for the citizens.
Their after your car
I think this reasoning idea is fine, but very poor execution/communication from the city of Calgary leadership.
Its not the City of Calgaries idea. They are only doing it for those federal dollars.
@@willt2036 Calgary mayor is a rabbit running in circles chasing that carrot.
Blanket rezoning is a childish, thoughtless alleged solution to home affordability. Here's what needs to be done instead:
• heavily taxing investors of residential property;
• banning foreign ownership by creating a registry that links homeowners with citizenship; and
• not allowing businesses/corporations/REITs to own low-density residential real estate
To top it off, the next suggested video is by BNN Bloomberg, “Canada is increasingly seen as a money-laundering haven…”
The infills are extremely ugly.
So, basically you have said that you reacted negatively to the idea of blanket rezoning without having any information on the topic and assuming the worst case scenario is what would take place all across the city in every neighbourhood. And you are a real estate professional? This is the worst example of clueless NIMBY's who say no to everything without spending any mental energy to actually educate themselves on the issue to determine if it is a good idea or not. At least you eventually learned something on the topic, so I will give you credit for that as this is more that most people will do. That being said, based on your initial knee-jerk reactionary position which you outlined in the video, I would never trust your judgement enough to hire you as my real estate professional.
The blame isn't with residents, the blame falls at the feet of the city who put out a whim announcement with no details. Detials came later. Everyone had "knee-jerk" reactions because there was no info. But, good to see you don't make "knee-jerk" reactions on real estate professionals without doing your homework ;)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This information hasn’t always been there, and I’d rather be honest about my thoughts and experiences vs pretending to know everything and have everything together.
If your criteria for an agent or team to work with is broken because of this, then we probably wouldn’t have ever worked well together anyways.
Happy Sunday!
@@Reggie-bu7dn information was available if you wanted to find it. Also, using your brain to do some critical thinking was also available to consider what some options might be to possible multi-family options which might exist other than assuming the only option is a massive development. It is not a knee-jerk reaction to be calm and put thought into possibilities instead of simply opposing every option without trying to consider other alternatives.
@@ChamberlainGroup You are likely correct that we would never have worked well together. I expect a real estate professional to do research on real estate options before making recommendations to clients. Your own video shows that you did no research before you made your immediate judgement to be a NIMBY. I expect professionalism from a real estate professional and you displayed a complete lack of professional judgement on this topic.
@@thebatman8895 I bought my single detached from the home builder in 2013. I took someone's advice not to deal with real estate agents. You should never expect this agent to be "smart".
