@WindsorPoli Build it and they will come is a line in a movie, it’s not realty.
This is a terrible time to borrow…borrow $120 million for infrastructure Ontario assuming industry, business, and residents will flock here.
New mayor needed. Vote this October.
What US city has the largest gap between national perception and reality?
My answer: Detroit
Everyone seems to think it’s a run down hell hole w nothing but boarded up buildings.
In reality:
> Completely rejuvenated downtown w businesses, residential, restaurants, & nice sports venues – Ford Field (Lions), Comerica Park (Tigers), Little Caesars Arena (Pistons & Red Wings)
> One of the best airports in the country – Delta hub w direct flights all over the world
> Tons of history, culture, and classic architecture
> Diversifying economy beyond auto into tech, medical, etc.
> People are genuinely nice but also super tough & resilient
Of course it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. While some parts of the city are making a comeback, others are being left behind.
There’s crime, traffic and all the other things most big cities battle.
But if Detroit has a national reputation of 1/10, in actuality I think it’s more like 7/10.
19% of people aged 20-24 don’t have a driver’s license.
30-40% of people over 85 don’t have a driver’s license.
Planning and designing places that force everyone to be dependent on cars is cruel.

🚗 The illusion of a large parking lot:
While the trip to a suburban mall might actually be longer than to a restaurant downtown, the layout of the parking lot tricks us: the store entrance is visible, making the distance seem shorter.

@CityWindsorON If there was no extra funding to enforce this bylaw then this bylaw is useless. I imagine the city will stretch the bylaw enforcement program even more thin and some neighbourhoods will suffer even moreso then they suffer now with more blight.
@paulborrelli84 We already have a beautifully designed and livable city that is not being maintained. Shame on the city. New mayor needed. Next election Oct/26
@TheWindsorStar Half the homes in ward two have their garbage pails full and at the curb with garbage wondering why it wasn’t collected. There was no money spent on education over here. We have a lot of rental properties over here and tenants are transient. Where was the education for landlords

When my time on Twitter is done, I want to be remembered not only as the courtyard block lady, but also as the fierce critic of freestanding, detached buildings that fail to create street walls.
When (small-lot, mixed-use) buildings touch, they create walls so that the thoroughfare becomes a room.
Russian disinformation gets recycled and spewed out by chatbots.
Expert says: if you want better answers you have to follow up and ask the chatbot for evidence.
How many ppl will do that?
