I sure hope the Mayor and City Council don't start blanket upzoning.

Upzoning for the purpose of increasing the density comes with downsides. For example, increased street parking, traffic congestion, lower child safety, increased housing cost, increased water use, less green area, fracturing of communities, increased pollution in adjacent lower areas e.g. Calgary's downtown area.

You just have to take a look at the communities around the Marda Loop area to see what I am talking about.

Although it does make the developers rich.
