The best new development in Toronto (2150 Lakeshore) is planned at 7,500 units on 11 hectares or ~680 units per hectare. Meanwhile, the city of Toronto is developing its own land at ~270 units per hectare. It's almost like the city doesn't take the housing crisis seriously.

The revised plan for Villiers Island in the Toronto port lands. 9000 units on 33 hectares, including parks. Is this right? Enough? Arbitrarily too low?

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@brianonhere Someone should start a movement to lower the cost of development so that new builds pencil out at lower rents

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@TheStalwart @harryh I think the argument that it’s become a liability for conservatives in the same way that it was a liability for liberals before his takeover has some merit

@HunterBiden @jayowayo @QualityLearing_ @pangram AI slop?

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@michael_wiebe @maxdubler As long as a spot upzoning would cause land lift, zoning is constraining housing supply

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@max_spero_ I’ve been playing around with this a little and it seems like the AI percent is much higher with the timestamps removed and in some cases, the timestamps reduce the AI percent to zero.

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@stevemagness I don’t know either. The difference in height between average and professional is much greater in the WNBA than in the NBA. I don’t think such an extreme preference for height is necessarily good for the game.

We need to legalize Idaho stops

Video of what appears to be TPS officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT.

Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?"
Cop - "You didn't stop."

If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop.

I do find something compelling about this argument but if the entire *world's* output was scraped to build LLMs and this comes with some obligations they are clearly not only to Americans

@mnolangray I hate this shit so I have to assume the average voter loves it. Especially in LA.

One of the largest policy blunders in a generation. The Orangeville Brampton Railway corridor should remain rail, and move millions every year. If you want a trail, build one beside the rail.

we cannot look at housing or transportation in a vacuum. connecting them creates a flywheel effect where land value funds transit expansion

this was common sense a century ago, as subway lines were built in tandem with brand new neighborhoods. glad to see we’re bringing it back

[Gamarad @SGamarad]

@hieywieyneue @Lib_Development Montreal subway extension costs are only slightly better than Toronto. The REM is an outlier

Arizona wastes an extraordinary amount of water growing alfalfa in the literal desert. It's ~27% of the state's total water use.

This is extremely uneconomical, and if farmers were forced to to pay anything close to the actual value of that water, it would disappear overnight.
