Strong Towns Kelowna Meeting Tonight - How to do a value per acre analysis
Hey there everyone, we are having a Strong Towns Kelowna meeting tonight, where we will be putting on a presentation on how Kelowna’s land use affects our local economy by demonstrating a value-per-acre analysis using Kelowna's open data! Our analysis has found that similar buildings, with the same zoning, in the same neighbourhood served by the same infrastructure, can pay disproportionately different property taxes. Many modest local businesses like Lakeview Market shown above, often end up creating far more value per acre, thus paying more taxes than their big box corporate counterparts(Save On) just down the road.
We are a volunteer-run advocacy group for better community planning and transportation safety. Whether you have heard of Strong Towns or not this is a great way to meet people and advocate for a city that meets everyone's needs.
We will be meeting on the last Tuesday of every month. So the next one is tonight - the 26th at 7pm to 830pm.
Please join the discord for details about the location! Or private message me!
