You could probably fit this on any pair of standard building lots. One stairwell in the center of each building, 8-12 units a side, its cute. These should be allowed in every ward of Toronto, and main arterial roads of all major Ontario cities. #onpoli #housing

"Nominally progressive baby boomers’ chokehold on Toronto politics has weakened slightly in recent years, but “I got mine, what’s your problem?” still might as well be city council’s unofficial motto." God YES @cselley.

The latest issue of Policycraft (linked below) is full of big questions, not the least of which is: how can policy thinkers create, nurture, and share our tacit (a.k.a. AI-proof) expertise? I'd argue professionalization, mentorship, and in-person work all play a role.
