I'm not sure for Mahogany, but in other neighbourhoods someone explained to me that the house colours have to be approved by people in charge of the development. It's alot nicer to see the variation than to drive through neighbourhoods where everything is one uniform colour.
@@georgefindlay because they're required to be like this by the design codes, the same design codes that requires an insanely high % of lots to be single family detached housing. these zoning and design codes haven't been updated since the 80s.
@@johnmike9618 this neighbourhood, along with 99% of suburban neighbourhoods in north america, are insanely depressing. not a tree in sight, unwalkable, dangerously wide roads, etc. its cookie-cutter sprawl. you can find the *exact* layout with the exact same houses like 3,000 times throughout canada and the us. north american suburbia is lifeless and overwhelmingly isolated. 100% single family detached housing with the main front facing feature of the houses being a fcking garage driveway. peak car dependency lmao. and since design & zoning codes force cities and developers to dedicate the majority of housing to be single family detached houses, most people are required to live in places like this. apartments in nice walkable places are extremely expensive due to high demand and little supply. not everybody wants to live some dull american nuclear family bs, but these zoning codes that haven't been updated in 40+ years enforce this awful way of urban planning.
@@georgefindlay its the same suburban sprawl design, horrible for the environment, encourages isolation, unwalkable, and dangerously wide (wide, straight streets like this with minimal obstructions encourages people to feel comfortable speeding)
Urban sprawl at its finest…🤣🤣 it would take me over an hour to drive from my place to Mahogany. Calgary is so big now I have to use an app to find my way around.
yep, its sad. same land area as the entirety of LA but with 1/10th the people. this is awful for the environment, and results in crazy high amounts of car dependency. enitrely unwalkable too. every single neighbourhood on this boring continent looks like this unfortunately. its genuinely hilarious when people look at this and think this is "a nice place to live" like mf this looks so depressing
typical north american car dependant cookie-cutter suburban sprawl lmao you can find like 500 instances of this exact neighbourhood layout throughout the continent with 0 changes. walking here is super unpleasant, not even a tree in sight. with un-necessarily wide roads with tiny narrow sidewalks. people speed through these neighbourhoods all the time. this shit is wider than some highways in this city.
There was still some construction taking place when I drove through. According to Wikipedia the development was approved in 2007, but I'm not sure when the actual building of the neighbourhood took place. Presumably a number of years ago at least.

I want to see more of Calgary please. I love your videos
Thanks! I’ll be sure to post some more :)
Watch my own videos.
The background music is cool! What's the title? Cheers!
Thanks for watching. It's called "Above" and it was included in the Filmora 10 video editing software I used.
@@georgefindlay Thanks so much!
Can't wait to see this in person! Weather looks good :)
remember people, before you think about moving to calgary, ther'es more life than just owning a house.. BC has much more to offer in quality of life.
could you do some footage around wolf creek in south calgary?
Yes will do. I'm away from Calgary for a couple months, but will aim to do so on my return :)
Why all the houses are in similar colors? Is there any administrative requirement or people decide for themselves?

How far is this from Calgary or Airdrie please?
Mahogany is south Calgary. I'd estimate a 30-35 minute drive to Airdrie via Stoney Trail.
Muito bacana essa cidade, excepcional.
Strange that TH-cam suggests I watch a video of my house being driven by. At least it looks like I’d mowed my lawn for your video😉
Your neighborhood is pretty. 😊

Are you guys there? Looks very American :)
Yeah it does feel quite American. I'm here ahead of time and Cat's coming tomorrow :)
What do you mean it looks American? 🤔
Canada and USA have virtually the same architectural and infrastructural style.

👍👍👍
This is where the elite of Calgary reside.
Quite the generalization! I live on the route and I’m sure as hell not elite.
My dream com to Canada 🇨🇦please help me
It’s full go away
@@satan2133 😱😱😱😱😱
It's in my interest to go there too. It's not full, but you need to consider, that a place in that country requires effort and identification.
N.A. urbanism literally looks like the backrooms

Very boring. very few trees and small ones
yep, north america has the worst urban planning.
Is that a new development area? Hardly any trees, lots of concrete and not much else. Boring
