We just want to rest. We are so tired.

@DaveSawatsky @danremps @MeghanJMJW @northendmc @pattyboge @KaraBoohoo @Beardune @janessa_allison @cityofselkirk Yes! I had something in my mind on zoning but am very willing to admit that I don't know enough about that to write something coherent.

[Dave Sawatsky 🇺🇦 @DaveSawatsky]

@paulloewen @danremps @MeghanJMJW @northendmc @pattyboge @KaraBoohoo @Beardune @janessa_allison We will revamp and modernize our zoning regime to allow for greater housing density everywhere.
We will adopt a "no more sprawl" policy.
We will commit to a percentage of budget to rebuild our tree canopy.
We will learn from cities that are environmental leaders (@cityofselkirk)

New alternative to 15-minute cities: 15-minute parking lots.

@paulloewen @danremps @northendmc @pattyboge @DaveSawatsky @KaraBoohoo @Beardune @janessa_allison Teach kids to swim and to ride bikes as part of the public school system and reduce provincial government subsidies for private schools. Eliminate fundraising in schools, pay for school yard improvements and classroom libraries through government funding.

If there's one thing I do know, it's that I have many blind spots. And so I would like to enlist the help of Twitter friends who see the world from different eyes, including: @danremps @MeghanJMJW @northendmc @pattyboge @DaveSawatsky @KaraBoohoo @Beardune @janessa_allison

People living in unhealthy and damaging ways will have to go out of their way to do so, against the flow. If a system got us into this mess, we need to change the system to get out.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

Many of the problems we face today are systemic, and will not be solved by charity or goodwill. When it comes down to it, we want to properly account for negative externalities and align incentives as well as possible.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

We'll be the first province to implement a negative income tax (universal basic income), ensuring everyone is well over the poverty line.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

There will be busses available to Manitoba locations like Birds Hill Park, Gimli, Grand Beach, and the Whiteshell.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

We'll open Portage and Main, including the infamous "scramble" crossing style.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

We'll compost.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

We'll take @pegcitycarcoop and expand it to the entire city. If a family/unit feels they need to buy a second or third car, we've failed -- there should be enough collectively owned cars that no one feels that need.

[Paul Loewen @paulloewen]

We'll get rid of parking requirements, and incentivize businesses and housing on public transportation lines. We'll reclaim parking lots for housing, greenspace, and open markets.
