I am particularly annoyed by Toronto's response on minimum lot size. They say they don't want minimum lot size reform because it could limit the construction of multiplexes. This totally ignores that multiplexes have been far more likely to be built in areas that don't have *any* minimum lot size.
Guys, what if Donald Trump has been a Greenpeace plant this entire time???
How else could you destroy oil infrastructure in both the Gulf and Iran? He's going to single-handedly bring about the Green Revolution through the ultimate act of eco-terrorism.
The streetcars are going so slow in part because of antiquated technology Toronto still uses. Modern switch control would fix many intersection slow downs. Dual blade switches would bring the network in line with the light rail lines and even some streetcar yards.
Thank you so much. This is the bane of my existence.
It must feel great to be a bus driver and to get to righteously and loudly honk at people blocking the bus stop.
If any Toronto folks would like to join us in DC send me a dm!
Yoooooo holy fucking shit I'm so excited

Locking in with Zubin Gell is out! We dive into the brutal reality of job searching, grad school as a default option, finding competence through work, wrestling with faith and authenticity, and why most young men today aren't actually "locking in", they're completely "locked out.”
I'm extremely disappointed in this "balanced" plan. This policy would kill a ton of housing where it is needed most, with nothing concrete to make up for it.
Strap in folks, because I have a lot of thoughts that have been brewing over the last few weeks🧵

The new Superman is very good
> whenever you suggest Olivia Chow should use her strong mayor powers to enact citywide zoning reforms to end the housing crisis
Because Brad lied about being pro urbanist and Olivia Chow never said a word?
I don't understand this tweet was this just you making yourself feel better about how disappointing Olivia Chow has been?
Hate that he’s becoming a worse councillor to get handful of Anthony Furey votes
New Brad Bradford slogan alert
Just saw 2 Asian ladies tap off when walking through the TTC fare gates
They don't know 😭
Umm holy shit let's go google maps
Those who scream the loudest about how "this is so undemocratic" are often those the least interested in the actual will of the people.
Umm @ttchelps.bsky.social there's no area code on this number? Who do we call?
It's crazy how the average Toronto intersection is like
30 pedestrians
6 cyclists
2 cars
1 guy doing a 3 point turn
But is designed like
Tiny sidewalk
No bike lane
Two car lanes
It's not defunding this was extra money?
Holy shit they are delaying the (very simple) redesign of a tiny part of Yonge Street until 2030!!!
There is a sickness in our culture.
Another quick blog post. 7-8plexes in Edmonton are overwhelmingly being built near LRT stations. A blanket curtailing of the 8 unit maximum would mean fewer people able to live a short walk, bike ride or bus ride away from mass transit.

It's also a negative cycle. We'll be told more support is needed in the suburbs at a time those councillors indicated they'll ignore us.
Anyway, look at the surveys, letters, in-person consultation attendees and deputations. Suburban ward housing advocates showed up; the mayor didn't show up for us.
Perks isn't voting yes with strong mayor powers.
A bigger issue for me is multiple councillors (Carroll, Fletcher) used questions and speeches to state that residents associations were saying no, dismissing those saying yes as just from downtown. And the mayor said nothing to correct that.
Same idiots keep driving even at midnight smh
I love this and will be using the phrase "exclusionary planning" very often
Why do we consider it good that creatives spend the majority of their time doing mindless work? We should want them doing more actually creative work, not more ads!
Even with clothes the average person buys way more and way more interesting clothing then before clothing got automated.
Software has been made a million times esieee then 20 years ago, yet there are more software engineers then ever!
