@RogerWPrice @LioLunesu @internet_paolo No cars actually follow the speed limit just like no cars ever come to a full stop at stop signs. OP specifically quoted separated bike lanes which none of those lanes are. That’s why they are cropped out.

@k22418588 @ObtainerOf isn't race and religion just part of your social interests?

@jhallwood @yuanyi_z We have PC parades marching with MAGA flags, using identical styled rhetorics and have identical policy priorities.

I don’t think anyone in Canada is confused about who represents what. Taking trump at his words is a convenient mistake.

@dwkreutzer @AlexanderPayton all of your open space are taken up by parking lots. Not only is it a waste, it makes the walking experience terrible too. The only walkable places are within the development parcel. Anywhere outside of it is impossible to navigate without a car. How is this a good place to live?

Toronto takes the whole concept of the "missing middle" to the next level.

An odd thing keeps happening:

- Apartment rents are cooling where new supply gets built in big numbers, AND...

- Apartment rents are climbing where little new supply gets built.

Could it be all about supply and demand?

🤔

@Seakinglogic @KahlonRav that's reasonable. Would you support 1400 sqft and twice the height?

@PtFry no one cares about consultations, build it or don't. the fact that it took so long gave way for conservatives to destroy the effort. This is an outcome of your own making.

@pwaldkirch Vancouver's anti-market culture has doomed the city to a future of conservative votes. Young working people are mostly renters who are divested from this city.

The voting demographic are now mostly seniors and professionals in real estate, people who don't benefit from change.

@kennedystewart All your housing policies were super timid and didn't materially change housing dynamics in Vancouver. Voters wanted to see you deliver results, and you delivered the status quo because you also caved to the nimbys. This is why you are not elected back

@foxyjewishmama Being mugged is a violent experience. I wouldn't respond to a victim of domestic abuse with "too bad so sad".

@vb_jens This was a good idea 10 years ago when lumber prices were half of what it is today. Are mass timber constructions competitive with concrete constructions today?

@BrendanMcEwen @TheTyee @bychrischeung Because this is the most pragmatist district in the province. Other districts are either right leaning or prefer image over substance, which makes pushing for changes difficult.

It is actually crazy that mayors and governors are not scrambling to replicate this across the country

@Sal_Bayat @vb_jens @jm_mcgrath market wants to produce more housing, which we prohibit with zoning, city fees, consultations, shadow studies etc.

this is much more nuanced than market vs non-market.

What do you call it when people blame housing problems on foreigners? How does that kind of thing start, spread, and make its way into policy? @LausterNa and I call it Housing Nationalism, and we study its rise in Canada in a new paper out at JEMS:

@SeanFraserMP Can you explain what the $115M #HAF deal with Vancouver will actually do? How is it cutting red tape? How does it accelerate housing? $115M is a lot of money.

@OneCityVan @christineeboyle Where were these motions before the NPAs got majority council?
