Typical downtown-centric take from a latte-sipping elite like Furey. When will our politicians finally have the courage to address the ABSOLUTE CHAOS being caused by the Bayview bike lanes. These cyclists are intolerable!

Today, this inoffensive development application close to transit and the U of A was almost deferred because councillors thought they may vote differently if the draft district plans and policy are approved in May. This is not a good sign.🧵 #yegcc

Tweets on many unrelated niche topics.@NovakovicTO @HousingNowTO Your place wouldn’t get built. I think this goes to a deeper issue: a broad under-appreciation of the built environment, a lack of awareness of how buildings are created, the role of architecture/built environment in our lives. If only we had a national institute for that purpose
It leaves me wondering: If my building were being built today, what would my neighbours have to say about it?
Interesting flyer about the 17-storey development proposal at 1938 Bloor West. Feels weird to receive these kinds of complaints in my mailbox in a 23-storey apartment building a block away….
The main point is that it “goes against the guidelines of the Bloor West Village Avenue Study.” But so what? What kind of values does that study represent? Why should we care? This is right on a subway line and beside a wonderful green space — the exact right spot for density.
@CBailey6 @carastern I think it should do both - no reason for it to be either/or.
We can't expect people to believe anything else when we don't give them a reason to do so.
The built form informs the culture. We've regulated newer and newer units into being smaller and smaller, due to floorplate regulations, angular planing, s(t)epbacks, etc. Therefore it's become unfathomable for many people to consider raising a family in any one of these units.
The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.

You know those condo towers where people say you can't raise a family? In Toronto, Spadina-Fort York's population rose much more than in any other ward from 2016 through 2021, and nearly 10pc of the increase was kids under 15
It’s hard to make something so ridiculous up. Peak Malthusian environmental narcissism.
Fun fact: one of the nimby neighbours who spoke at the Committee of Adjustments in opposition to this infill development proposal at 91 Barton St. is Burkhard Mausberg, the former CEO of the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and Greenbelt Fund. Think about that.

North American cities, take note! BC just rezoned a mansion-only district beside our major university. Areas closest to transit are now open for apartment towers. Snob zoning is finally cracking.
All communities have a role to play to help solve the housing crisis - including the University Endowment Lands. Thank you to Minister @AnneKangMLA for your leadership to help enable 4-6 homes on single detached lots and build more homes near transit. 👇🏾 universityendowmentlands.gov.bc.ca/businessservic…
@CBailey6 lol Colleen permanently hustling.
#cdnpoli As always, twisting the facts. City planning ("gatekeepers") didn't object to this infill project; it was blocked by the Committee of Adjustment and neighbourhood opposition.
The Liberals sent $471 Million to Toronto gatekeepers - and they still block housing. Paying for promises is not going to work. Conservatives will get more homes built by rewarding real results. #cdnpoli
Hello. I own a single family home in an established area and think upzoning is great. It benefits our communities, environment, and vulnerable. If you live in Calgary and also think it's fine, consider signing up to speak. Even just "this is fine" goes a long way 1/ #yyccc
Park washrooms open early. King St streetcar priority improvements. Crappy garbage bins replaced. Attacking the fiscal state of affairs. Chipping away at the mess she inherited.
Open for the season! 80% of park washrooms are open—earlier than expected. The remaining will be opened over the next week. We are ahead of schedule this year thanks to the tremendous efforts of City staff.
Something something “luxury condos”
And without further comment, change in children aged 0-14.
Anti-density, NIMBY-dominated, low-density parts of Toronto are becoming less and less hospitable places for families with young children. Places that are adding a lot of new apartments are seeing increases in the number of young children.
And without further comment, change in children aged 0-14.
To the people who might be mad about this: I don't make the rules for op-eds, you can only consider single variables that are assumed to account for 100% of causation. Anything else is obviously sophistry.
The people saying a few days ago that condos cause fewer children will now immediately change their minds and start arguing that the single family homes of Etobicoke north cause fewer children right?
