It's almost mind blowing how planners and politicians have decided that it's better for you to share a room in a 150 year old run down crack house with 7 other people, than live here.
Would you stay in an apartment in Japan like this for $300/mo?

The comments are vile. Nothing wrong with eating in a public place. Huge benefit of transit for me over driving is you can do whatever you want on transit and don't need to be focused. Have a busy day, transit doesn't get in the way.

At a development meeting and I asked why they don't make the entire podium a tower and make it even taller
This right after the architect just explained how it's designed so it doesn't look tall and won't have too many shadows
Needless to say his face was in shock after I spoke

No, you can’t have free parking. Parking is not a human right. It’s a scarce resource that should be priced accordingly. Stop externalizing the costs of your car ownership onto others.

Going to respond to it because it sounds like nobody gets how important these YouTubers, even NJB, are.
The fact that so many people watch their videos gets it into the mainstream. That I can go to a party and people talk to me about urbanism is a direct consequence of these
After seeing *the* video, I’m not entirely sure how to feel. I hope that my videos have had an impact even though I don’t explicitly mention going to city council meetings or getting engaged in most non-Toronto ones.

The Housing Minister seems to think we have a "first time home buyers" crisis here in Canada, not a housing crisis. There's tens of thousands of dollars of incentives for first time home buyers! But no amount of subsidies can help when prices are this high, with rents to match.
What is the federal government doing about get affordable housing built? Are they matching Pierre Poilievre's rhetoric?
