The funny thing is when top income earners think we can defeat fascism this time around without a functioning welfare state.
Kagan: "How about if POTUS orders the military to commit a coup?" Trump's lawyer says this might be an official act entitled to immunity
Sociopathy.
Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. @MomentumMag momentummag.com/paris-to-showc…
The hardest home to raise children in is the home that doesn't exist ... because the anti-density, anti-tenant neighbours wouldn't allow it to be built.

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.

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.

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.
Sprawl developers try to convince us to move to "greenfield" suburbs to be closer to nature. But the effect of building at low densities is to push farmland and natural areas further and further away from where most of us live. It takes DENSITY to keep nature within easy reach.

Why are environmental NGOs like @envirodefence pushing governments so hard to densify existing neighbourhoods & shift construction from detached houses to denser building types? A big part of it is summed up right here:
It's hard to understand why an economics professor showing concern for a student would be thrown to the ground and arrested. This is not an obvious way to defuse a crisis.

Is somebody teaching police officers to talk to people like this? Or do they just get off on humiliating people? If somebody used this tone to demand that I do something- even something I'd otherwise be perfectly happy to do- my overwhelming instinct would be NON-compliance!

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
@pothen I’ve spent 30 years having this conversation with local police services. It is how they’re trained, up to a point, but that’s supposed to have changed for the reasons you identify. Many people simply don’t respond as expected to shouting & commands. Especially people in crisis.
Sprawl developers try to convince us to move to "greenfield" suburbs to be closer to nature. But the effect of building at low densities is to push farmland and natural areas further and further away from where most of us live. It takes DENSITY to keep nature within easy reach.
Why are environmental NGOs like @envirodefence pushing governments so hard to densify existing neighbourhoods & shift construction from detached houses to denser building types? A big part of it is summed up right here:

It's hard to understand why an economics professor showing concern for a student would be thrown to the ground and arrested. This is not an obvious way to defuse a crisis.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
