Every rule is a barrier for “development” if you ask developers, every where, every time. I’m tired of their whining.

Conservationists are raising concerns as the City of Winnipeg considers walking back a development bylaw designed to help save birds from fatal window strikes, less than a year after the rules came into effect.

Winnipeg has had shitty city halls for decades. Our very wealthy mayor seems to be keeping the ball rolling.

They literally just want them to put IR stickers on certain windows so that birds can tell that there’s something there and not fly into them. The ‘stickers’ are mostly invisible to the human eye, and cost practically nothing, especially in terms of the cost of a real estate project.

Npr had a great story about how successful these changes are at protecting migrating birds

The earth is an ecology and the universe is natural but a token that mankind created to represent “value” rules all.

Winnipeg is a barrier for development. No one wants to be there.

E: lmao. Downvote me, but I lived there for 3 years, and have family there. I like to rag on the city lol.
