Would you sell your backyard as part of the city’s ‘flag lots’ pilot project?

    Flag lots, yes they been around a long time. However the city is not thinking about the real issues. Our infurstruture roads and access to them. The population densities is another problem , disputes over parking and domestic issues.
    Perhaps there are a few areas that could be used, but that will get all situational confused as time progresses.
    We all know what row housing does, a parking nightmare. Arguments and squabbles over just about everything.
    Who’s to gain here is the true view, city taxes and parking revenue. This is a slippery slop of social design at its best.more traffic more congestion and domestic issues.
    I don’t get this line of thinking,
    We’re living to exist, just about now with the cost of per square foot, theirs a cost to be paid here. Sooner or later but it will happen the economy like our last failure will fail, careful for what you ask for, because if you as a land owner and don’t want to make your property a flag property and is recommended as such ,,,, you will be taxed accordingly,,,,

    What a stupid idea.
    Why not just design new development areas with high density.
    This infill thing is a joke and deteriorate the quality of life of our city, and now its infesting backyards. This is getting our of control

    it totally amazes me that Edmonton is trying to start ghetto's. The only thing you get from dense population is a ghetto, more crime and more killing. Thank goodness that's not happening, not.
