Hey @KenSimCity. Let's abolish all the discriminatory zoning and.....

Build. More. Homes

Fixing the housing crisis is not rocket science.

“Minneapolis has been building more housing than any other large city…and has abolished zones that limited construction to single-family housing…average rents are down more than 20% since 2017”

This is serously messed up. Imagine in the hottest year on record, having a plan to not only do nothing, but to activitely engage to make the problem worse. https://t.co/NImh8FO3Tw

@BrosForDecarb Hey @BrosForDecarb have you moved over to Threads or is #energytwitter still sticking here?

[Mike Benn @itsmikebenn]

If we want a clean grid we need more interregional transmission, interconnection reform and streamlined permitting.

LFG!

This is great news. SEEM wasn't even a half measure it was a nothing-measure. It's only purpose was to dodge moving towards a true regional electricty market

DC Circuit kills SEEM, the faux-market concocted by Southern Company, Duke, and other southeastern utilities to consolidate regional control.

Hey #energytwitter, have we moved to threads yet? Or is it Mastadon? Drop me your handle as I'm trying to recreate my contacts over there

[Mike Benn @itsmikebenn]

Hey @KenSimCity, why don't we do pedestrian streets propoerly. It's not rocket science. What you've done on Yew St is a joke.

Let's target Robson, Water and Commerical next!

I agree about getting development off the aterials. But this is a redovelopment of an unused parking lot! Removing density from the project removed the social housing portion too.

#105Keefer is going ahead. And because of a deeply flawed process, it leaves a divided community in its wake. It doesn’t have to be this way. #VanPoli @OneCityVan

Evidence that FERC and state regulators are setting ROEs too high:

Build. More. Rapid. Transit.

It’s astonishing a sky train line at full capacity carries the same number of people as this Ontario road.

Hey bros. Gather around close cause we can f*cken do this. LFFFFFFGGGGGGGG!

grinding our entire nation to a halt because we don't want to build apartments is just so pathetic as a country.

What will it take for literally any elected official to actually respond to this raging fire
