@JeffMacSabby Good luck sir the only thing I hate more is the neighborhood Facebook page.

@brendanwhitsitt Fair enough I'm only doing Toronto medium to large commercial industrial so not representative at all for multi unit res or anything. Nice to get ownerside perspective. Thanks for the chat.

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@brendanwhitsitt Yeah also worked in both scenarios on design and sub side(although never no prime consultant afaia).
Place B mega projects
Place A mid sized
From my perspective GMP great in theory weak in reality but only with one contractor but a large one.

@brendanwhitsitt I read his paper in 2025 and maybe even a blog post from a few years back? Not familiar with the recent piece so I'll definitely give it a look.

Curious on incentives varying by geography perspective?

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@brendanwhitsitt There's your chat gpt summary. Happy to talk complexity and liability/incentives(on design and sub side as that's where I've spent my career) not knowledgeable enough on safety

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@brendanwhitsitt and incentives fragment, coordination becomes the bottleneck. Productivity hasn’t stagnated — it’s being measured against a completely different, more demanding product.

@Mattxduchak @MikePMoffatt I mean not every western country is experiencing the foodbank issue and honestly all of Canada isn't experiencing it. But a HUGE part is and you're out here in your high horse calling people dumb names. Let's have some empathy and maybe try not to be a dick.

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@Mattxduchak @MikePMoffatt I mean you could also take a look at foodbank usage in Canadas most important city and be like oh shit 500% increase not a good sign

@EricDLombardi Want to know what really matters? People living in areas where they can take transit, walk to subways and have no cars. Infill construction is legimitately the biggest affect you can have as an individual so if people actually want to make a difference show up an say your piece.

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@EricDLombardi Reduce transportation usage bus, train, walk or ride etc makes a huge difference.
Food if youre willing to eat less red meat that makes a decent difference too.

@Ramsey_Kilani @ParthiKandavel But honestly if people wanted good insight into toronto meetings @JeffMacSabby is the man. Not sure how he does it but he attends A LOT(maybe all in scarb??). Would definitely be curious on his opinion to improve the process/meetings.

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@Ramsey_Kilani I went to a community meeting to voice my opinion for a development and @ParthiKandavel basically laughed at me along with the majority 70+ crowd. I'll probably never participate in another unless changes are made.
2/10 councilor would not recommend.

@johntpierson John in canada we use mango's man so much better

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@JeffMacSabby @ParthiKandavel Alright so far we've had seven complaints that speakers aren't loud enough. I haven't had an issue myself. We've also had a complaint that buildings are getting taller over time which is an interesting observation.

[Robm @tinkotweets]

@JeffMacSabby I'm not even going to really touch on demographics outside of age but I just want to stress that we should be ashamed of ourselves if we think this is representative of our neighborhood @ParthiKandavel
