Metro Vancouver households by housing situation, income and shelter-cost-to-income ratios 2016 and 2021. Net growth by income brand is concentrated in the $100k+ segment. (Which we really need to split up, it's a shame that the standard xtabs don't do this.)

A 🧵about some results (so far) after Minneapolis eliminated off-street parking minimums in May 2021. I've compiled data about for new developments with 10 or more residential units approved by the City Planning Commission. I'm sure @alexschief is also compiling this info.

How about the new normal including ways to clean indoor air? Let's make it so that we don't catch flu every winter. We can do this. Indoor ventilation and filtration are key parts of moving forward towards the new normal.
