Just started to go through these designs that Sydney (NSW) released as a pattern house catalogue, with similar logic to the Canadian one. It's shocking how much more beautiful and urban these layouts are compared to the low density house typology Canada is promoting.

1/12 The WS story shows Rustad’s desperation & fracture lines inside BCC. It says he’s met fed Liberal operatives, including Bruce Clark, as pressure mounts for him to step aside, and insiders say he’s seeking outside help to survive. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Dear City of Vancouver Planning: A thread about how kooky it is that you can provide no data on what your city plans are actually accomplishing. I've been trying for about a week to find out how many new apartments have been permitted/built under the Grandview-Woodland 2016 plan

Why are the fake news accounts overwhelmingly on the right? Macedonian teenagers in 2016 found that Trump supporters were the most gullible audience. "The American right, especially the emerging MAGA ecosystem, was simply a dream customer: highly engaged, highly inflamed, and

The key feature of the classic 2 & 3-story rowhouse is that it’s smaller and therefore more affordable. That’s what made it a bedrock of American workforce housing. When quality homes are compact and share walls, land is used efficiently and maintenance stays manageable.

This beautiful, gut-wrenching piece by journalist Tatiana Schlossberg about her mortal struggle with leukemia is a reminder to all of us not to take life for granted. Every day is a gift. 💔 for Tatiana and her family.

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Once kids are 5 years old ... Schools become THE dominant decision point both in terms of location and quality If the public school isn't good enough and you cannot afford private school, there is no floorplan or facade that can make up for that. And even if the assigned public
@bobbyfijan Why the assumption that people want to move from a starter home. My suggestion would be a basement level with a playroom and another bed/bath where an older child can move to. That way the smaller beds can become offices as the kids age.

Easy viral urbanism content: complain that no one is building medium-density buildings at scale anymore Great urban neighborhoods (that can support a great public school, that are walkable, that have a wide range of units) are made up of medium-density buildings. many people
Jacobs was right, and the ongoing American urban tragedy is that no one is reproducing the golden medium density of the Village

Likewise ... urban ownership of dogs should be *heavily* taxed
97% of NYC on-street parking is FREE. Charging a measly $5/day per space would raise $5 billion annually. Or $10/day to raise $10 billion. That money could go towards sidewalk improvements, traffic calming, bike lanes, transit lanes... all sorts of good stuff.

This part is just so heartbreaking: “For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry. Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s
In a devastating essay, Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, reveals that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia just hours after she gave birth to her daughter, and that she has less than a year to live.
