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.

It’s hard to make something so ridiculous up. Peak Malthusian environmental narcissism.

@beheshtialex @EricDLombardi @JohnLorinc The Committee of Adjustment only has power because the zoning by-laws passed by Council suck

You see, the foundation of Marxist-socialist politics is allowing private property rights and market forces to respond to housing demand so yes these arguments make a lot of sense and are very normal. #yyccc #HousingCrisis #UpzoneNow

Mr. Carney said instead of subsidizing one more battery plant, he would have directed the federal purse to pay for a million-plus heat pumps for people who need them most. “Some of these choices need to be more deliberately directed at people,” he said. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
When tax exemptions and interest costs (since it’s all borrowed money) are included, it’s north of $55 billion. See PBO report.
Recap of EV plants subsidies, Canada: VW - $16.3B Stellantis - $15B Northvolt - $4.24B Ford - $1.288B Honda - $5B Total subsidies value: $41.828B Total investment value by these companies: $46B Canada (tax payers) will be subsidizing EV/battery manufacturing for decades.

Rents in Austin, when converted to CAD, are almost identical to Ottawa's ($2050 for a 1-bedroom). Metro areas are about the same size. Austin's median wages, on the other hand, are roughly 30% higher. (Do you have updated data, @benkerteisen?)

it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work

Canadian provincial and municipal governments have become addicted to taxing new housing. Speaking out of one side of their mouth on affordability while raising the price floor of new housing, making it impossible to build at reasonable prices.

Libraries are a gateway to the city and to the world. I used to study at the Reference Library in a sweater and jeans, fun to return in a new outfit for @ TPL_Foundation's BiblioBash last night to celebrate and support the vital role libraries play in our city's life.
These are huge and important parts of the human experience. We should enable people to do them as freely and painlessly as possible. 4/4
Think about how much feeling there is, moving to a new city or school or job, visiting family for pleasure or an emergency, leaving a partner, moving to a larger house to start a family, getting your first place, moving in with someone, even travelling for work or a vacation. 3/4
Traveling is an inherent part of being human. While our ancestors were nomads, we now travel in totally different ways, for a thousand reasons. But it's still fundamental to the human experience, and we should make it as easy as possible for people. 2/4
Between car centric sprawl, lack of housing options from zoning, land transfer taxes, rent control, and lack of investment in transportation, we've designed a society around reducing short and long term travel. 1/4

@ChrisSpoke @EricDLombardi To a lot of people with detached homes in Toronto, the Greenbelt is an abstract cause. For them it’s about outright limiting growth, not densifying. In his head Mausberg’s logic is entirely reasonable because more neighbours is not the goal.
Congratulations to @maxfawcett for winning the Best Columnist award at this year’s National Newspaper Awards! 🎉
I grew up privileged AF and I knew families who lived in apartments. It didn't seem weird to me then, how can it seem weird to grown-ups 35 years later?
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
The last 50 years of city planning: Fight sprawl Fight infill Call it smart growth
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.
@EricDLombardi @_ChanFace Using people – who statistically are less likely to drive – as shields for the noise and pollution caused by highways that exist largely to serve the detached neighbourhood suburbs. It's as inequitable as it gets.
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.
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…

Funniest part of this whole debate is that if you abolished the greenbelt AND city planning then you would end up with more city and less sprawl.
@ChrisSpoke The basic social contract of the Greenbelt was ‘don’t build sprawl, build a city’. The idea that the shortest of infill rental homes would be blocked by Greenbelt advocates for the sake of their own backyard, is maddening. The Greenbelt is good. This is so toxic to social trust.
