The Blatchford Myth: Why One or Two Dense Developments Won't Solve Edmonton's Housing Crisis

Blatchford and the Exhibition Lands redevelopment are important pieces of Edmonton's housing puzzle, but they're just pieces. Solving our housing crisis requires embracing density as a city-wide solution, not a problem to be contained in specific areas.

This makes sense. I hear a lot of pushback against other neighbourhoods taking on density and just putting everything in Blatchford, and Blatchford is a good reference for denser development, but the city as a whole needs to take on denser housing if the supply is to keep up with demand. This also goes for adding a few new towers downtown.
