Thinking, always thinking. About things that move, and things that don't.

Polls repeatedly show the public prefer the housing on the left. Yet they’re given the housing on the right. Why?

My new @Policy_Exchange report, S.M.A.R.T. Density, tries to find the answer and prove how achieving the density on the left could fix the housing crisis.

A thread.

@AlainT29 @jfrheault Peut-on cesser de culpabiliser des victimes. Un casque aide en quoi contre un camion? Et des piétons, qui sont bien plus nombreux à subir la violence routière, eux aussi devront porter un casque?

@robear54 @ksituan La communauté séfarade est plus disparate. Plusieurs sont sont francophones (quoi que souvent ces personnes veulent s'intégrer plutôt dans la communauté anglophone!). C'est seulement les personnes d'origine israélienne qui parlent hébreu....

@robear54 @ksituan La communauté hassidique de Montréal (et probablement du Québec en soit) est en santé et croit d'elle même. Il y a une certaine immigration de l'extérieur (surtout les hommes) mais je ne dirais pas que la majorité des hassidiques viennent des USA.

@robear54 @ksituan En Israël oui, mais le yiddish est encore très vivant dans les communautés hassidiques de Montréal et le nombre d'immigrants israéliens est rélativement petit.

@mathieuhelie @humantransit What really made Carter a radical politician was his admitting that he did not know what to do and that he had doubts!

@carastern @stephen_belinda @fordnation The Dutch built bike lanes everywhere because they did the math - adding bike lanes is orders of magnitude less expensive than expanding road capacity. And Holland is also known to have the best *road network* in Europe!

One city’s innovation on housing, migration or extreme weather doesn’t always spread to others. A new initiative is trying to change that https://t.co/gdBq2HjYin via @citylab

@kettlemoraine You probably would appreciate my 'Plex architecture' photo album. Important to note that these buildings are typical for vast areas of the city, not only the 'historic' districts. https://t.co/tjGwM5mbN2

@bicyclesmile1 @mbonsma Replace the parking subsidies with public transport passes or some other mobility subsidy if people prefer using active transportation.

[Zvi Leve @ZviLeve]

@mbonsma @bicyclesmile1 I think that university campuses are perfect 'captive' markets for bike-share programs. And government workers would be another good target market. If all federal employees in Ottawa automatically paid a $25 fee for bike-share membership, just imagine the possibilities!
