Your City Hall was quiet but the housing market wasn't

Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.

It's a clear one out there today, but you can feel that *napi* (old man winter) chill still hanging around, reminding us of the chinook arch we saw yesterday. The wind's got that steady push, as usual.

This past week, City Hall was quieter than a deer grazing near the *Sik-ooh-kotok* (Oldman River) in the early morning. It felt like a pause, a moment to catch your breath.

Here's what we saw:

* Not much new coming out of the open data portal, so we’ve been looking back a bit.

* The main chatter, even with the quiet, kept circling back to real estate here in Lethbridge.

* It seems like even when City Hall takes a breather, the housing market doesn't.

Look, this stillness from City Hall isn't always a bad thing; sometimes it means things are just humming along. But it does make you look closer at what *is* moving, and right now, that's housing.

Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.
