Torontonian, west side. Go Jays.

There has to be a better vision for this city than 'everything stays the same, just a little bit worse. '

[TorontoToday @torontotodayca]

Toronto city staff no longer recommend the Bathurst and Dufferin TTC routes get their own RapidTO lanes all the way to Eglinton. Instead, they want bus and streetcar-only lanes to stop at Bloor. https://t.co/w3SzWsRpv0

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

Metro out here pricing almond flour like it's shipped through he straight of Hormuz

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@PlannerSean @MoreNeighbours Oh do you not regularly hang out with the mayor?

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@JShamess @UofT I think you want to focus on soft skills. Anybody can build a proforma, not everybody can convince a community to support a project.

@EricDLombardi While many of us agree with this sentiment, you cant be a leader of the OLP and tweet like this.

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@donnelly_b we tore down a city that looked like that, we can build it again

Don't let this sneak attack on new rental housing go unopposed. If you care about this issue, you can make comments at the link below

Enhanced tree protection is moving through city hall. Nearly every letter mentions multiplexes. This is not about protecting trees, this is about stopping housing.

@ChrisSpoke @oliviachow This droning self-important drivel could be the national anthem of NIMBY

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

Part of what's infuriating about this, is that the appeal can't just be replaying this clip. The whole dang thing has to be readjudicated, at no small cost to the applicant.

[Chris Spoke @ChrisSpoke]

In Toronto, Committee of Adjustment members will vote to oppose minor variances on your project because they personally disagree with City policy. That’s outrageous and completely out of line. Any member doing this should be removed immediately. @oliviachow

@PlannerSean They're never beating the Rich Man's Hill allegations

@anotherglassbox I dunno, feels like the stickler thing to say is that other than the name and the font there's nothing all that Zohran about this video.

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@anotherglassbox It's been quite a journey with Brad

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

Imagine being told before the season that the gauzy promo shot for the Jays heading into game 5 of the world series would be Ernie Clement. What a boss. What a team.

[Pamela Blais @pamelablais]

After TO Council passed a motion indicating the City was open to Alternative Solution Proposals for a single stair in apts up to 4 storeys, I applied for a single stair in a 3 storey Part 9 6plex.

I’m told it’s the first one, so it’s a test case. Here’s how it’s going.

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

Absolutely crazy making that this story keeps getting written.

We have the solution. We have the people willing to enact the solution. All we need is the city to get out of the way.

@PlannerSean The catch is having to throw out my perfectly comfortable preconceived notion that nothing positive would happen under Olivia. Hate having to reexamine my priors!

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

This is so unambiguously good it's almost unbelievable. Crazy that it took this long but still, a huge win for the future of Toronto as a functional city.

- 6 storey apartment buildings are now permitted in Neighbourhoods within 200m of transit stations, even when they are not located on a major street
- 4 storey apartment buildings and multiplexes are permitted across Neighbourhood areas
No unit caps.

This is fantastic.

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@PlannerSean But the line itself isn't included as a defined area?

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@PlannerSean Hey Sean what about the Ontario line?

[Jacob Rothberg @JacobRolling]

@PlannerSean Hey Sean, what is the claimed reason for their aversion to square silhouettes?
