@LinkofSunshine ANTI-DISPLACEMENT WIN! THIS BUILDING IS VORED BY THE VAGARIES OF MIGRATION PATTERNS

[Basil🧡 @LinkofSunshine]

i love it so much

[Ben Carlos Thypin @SoBendito]

Old heads will recall that this is the first upzoning that NYC’s YIMBY movement ever advocated for. They finally figured out a design that allows for development w/out having to vacate rent stabilized tenants. Shouts to @CarlinaRivera for going out on what was then a lonely limb!

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

American cities are just so destitute and empty. How is Rochester, NY, a city with around 700k in its urban area, not have a single public World Cup watch party for the game tomorrow? Can the city just throw a fucking screen up? PLEASE? @CityRochesterNY

I’m not a fan of rent control or Mamdani’s rent freeze, but you guys really need to stop calling landlords “housing providers.” It’s kind of sad and pathetic

LFG we are literally turning an old MTA garage into over a thousand homes and a park

the secret to making cities nicer is simply making it easier to build more housing

[Molly @mollyfleck]

I agree that this proposed new development doesn't match the character of the neighborhood; those towers should be much taller.

[Waterfront Toronto @WaterfrontTO]

Toronto’s largest park in a generation is getting even bigger—adding 10 new acres of waterfront parkland on Ookwemin Minising. From Canoe Cove and the expanded Water’s Edge Promenade to new public art and gathering spaces, this is a major milestone in reconnecting the city to its waterfront.
More to explore, more to come, opening July 25th, 2026.

Vancouver’s Woodward's is one of my favourite towers in Canada. I love its texture and warmth. Fits nicely into its historic context.

[constans @constans]

@TurboHaus Very little housing has been built and not just that but housing construction has fallen in Toronto

[TODNewsHub @TODNewsHub]

🚨Jersey City’s skyline now legitimately rivals most American downtowns🌆

And it’s not slowing down.

Nasser Freres just locked in $375 MILLION to build a 54-story residential tower in Journal Square: 840 units (84 affordable), 50,000 sq ft retail anchored by a big organic grocer, rooftop lounge & more.

Completion targeted for 2029.

Jersey City is out here building like a real city while others are still stuck in meetings.

@AlDefinitely I hope she gets a primary in the future, but I don't think it will be soon. Now that Mamdani has tied his name to her, unless she really beclowns herself in office, I'm not sure any other primary challenger can overcome Mamdani's weight anymore.

ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

@ElectionCenter_ Ah understandable. Hopefully they get Grace Meng next time.

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

@AustinHoney30 not really familiar, can someone explain why he didn't get any support?

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

@sam_d_1995 @NYC_DOT @NYCMayor We need Queenslink though

[sam @sam_d_1995]

NYC DOT is on a generational run rn.

our streets should be for the people, not cars

[Mike Norton @NortonMpls]

Minneapolis can just steal this bike lane design, there’s no penalty for taking good ideas from other cities

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

Rochester, NY sucks bro, not a single non-bar World Cup watch party

[Cities Preserve Nature @CitiesForNature]

@shamediarist Unfortunately the city is otherwise a wasteland
