In the 70s and 80s, Nepal lost huge amounts of their forests to human activities like livestock production.

In the 90s the government gave control of forest management to villages.

Since then forest cover has doubled.

Since upzoning:
-Dwelling consents per capita have doubled.
-Multi-unit dwellings have grown from 47% to 77% of new supply.
Sophisticated estimates calculate that upzoning increased the stock of housing by 5%.

We now have 6 years of data since Auckland upzoned 3 quarters of their suburban land, so let's revisit the outcomes. A thread:

[Matthew Maltman @1finaleffort]

But, upzoning may make supply more elastic. Since 2017 prices in Auckland, relative to the rest of the country, have: a) been less sensitive to changes in interest rates and b) grown less. In the longer run, house prices may grow slower than incomes, improving affordability.

POWERFUL must-read:

"While nobody would think to throw someone back in the water if they had managed to climb to a safe place in a flood, we are less hesitant to do the same to [ppl who are homeless] seeking shelter from the cold."

Hey friends! Are you an indie podcaster in Canada?

Please don't forget to tell me about your show so I can feature it in my newsletter!

The best way to do that is to drop the link AND a sentence or two about what your pod is about in the comments here! And GO.

How do we get people riled up about our provincial gov't knowingly allowing a service providing food options to starving families to end like they are about the city not dealing with the outer battery light situation? This is scary. https://t.co/8PGLz3rgd1

@AnthonyGermain @MayorMarkWilson @CityofStJohns @OnTheGoCBC Curious if council's lack of action has anything to do with how many of them are involved in real estate. Do they know this guy?

An investigation by CBC found the #RCMP spent ~$50 million since 2017 policing logging/pipeline standoffs on the Indigenous lands colonized by BC. Some say the money could have gone towards funding #Indigenous land stewardship & supporting communities instead of policing them.
