One of my very favourite semi public open spaces in the world. The John Madjeski Garden at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park, London. Built by landscape architect Kim Wilkie in 2005.

Current ABC majority of council and Mayor SIM can no longer erase century old park board, one of last in Canada with no public consultation. This is a reprimand for this regime’s autocratic running Vancouver as their own business instead of social compact with the community.
NEW - BC will require Vancouver to hold a referendum before allowing it to scrap the park board. Part of new legislation introduced just now by the @Dave_Eby government.

City of Vancouver Mayor and Council appear to be in developer's pocket-no consultation with public on Broadway Plan for no more public hearings! Tenants & owners won't have feedback! Where was the consultation with public?It was by ambiguous postcards! Developer run city hall.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

New data from the @SFMTA_Muni shows that the city’s new speed cameras are proving effective at significantly changing driver behavior. It also shows how out of control speeding has become, with many drivers going way beyond the limit on our streets. Read more at
