For an explanation of what is non-market housing and why it is important see Helen Lui's "Time to Get Serious About Non-Market Housing" https://t.co/ul4Xo39Rax

"I HAVE BEEN WORKING for a non-profit, non-market housing developer and operator for six years and in the development industry for nearly a decade; my work focuses on providing rental housing for people with low to moderate incomes. "

"But what is non-market housing and why is it important?"

This was the conclusion of @Toon_Dreessen's "A Grand Unified Theory of Planning". For how & why an architectural policy can achieve this, see

"An architecture policy could establish goals for connecting research- and development-funding opportunities from universities, government, and private industry, creating clear pathways for the practical application of new technologies in our built environment."

"There is everything to gain by better policy and better leadership. The time is now."

This was the opening paragraph of @RM_Transit's "Mind the Gaps". For why a network is so important, see https://t.co/k0U5c7E8Ey

"THE TORONTO REGION is spending more on building public transit than any other city in North America—and possibly more than almost any other city in the western world."

"Unfortunately, while we are finally getting things done, in the rush to build, it seems not nearly enough attention is being paid to one of the most critical elements of any transportation network: the fact that it is a network."

This was @GraigUens's conclusion to "Planners and the Public Interest ​​"

"If you trust someone for advice and their advice repeatedly turns out to be ineffective, when do you stop asking them? Our housing and climate objectives need to be front and centre in every planner’s practice."
