A public hearing is underway in Calgary regarding a proposed blanket rezoning bylaw that would allow for more housing types in residential areas. The bylaw, which is part of the city’s housing strategy, aims to simplify the development process and increase housing supply.

However, hundreds of residents have gathered at City Hall to oppose the bylaw, arguing that it would negatively impact the character of their neighborhoods and lead to overdevelopment. City officials maintain that the bylaw is needed to address the city’s housing affordability crisis, as home prices have increased significantly in recent years. The public hearing is expected to last several days, with over 741 people registered to speak.
