people should be less mad about gas prices and more mad that they can’t live in their cities without relying on cars

increasing housing density will not solve housing affordability on its own and no yimby is really saying that. what we are saying, what is true, and what nimbys never want to hear is that there is no solution to housing affordability that does not include more dense housing

Heres the original, much higher quality image.
Here's a map of the most common means of transportation to work by county. 76% of the country drove alone to work. Public transportation is at 5%, and
#1
in NYC, DC, and San Francisco. Interestingly, walking and taxicab/motorcycle are common in Alaska.

I wanna be the Robert Moses of preventing this
30 years ago, boomers bought cheap land inside the red circle with 9% rates. Today they're rich.
Today, millennials could buy cheap acreage inside the yellow circle at 8% rates, wait 30 years and be wealthy.

This is a resignation-level failure on Singh’s part in my opinion. He is clearly trapped in the last decade and in way over his head. If the NDP fall further behind on housing it will kill it.

The BCNDP’s ability to turn advocacy into policy when it comes to housing should be emulated nation wide
Today, I updated the BC Building Code to allow for Single Egress Stair (SES) designs in low- and mid-rise buildings.
By allowing SES, we will boost our housing supply and create more options for families who need larger layouts and designs.

This is such an embarrassing position for the NDP and Jagmeet needs to retire
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says the carbon price is dividing Canadians, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he "feels for the NDP" as they face political headwinds.

We have grown far past this type of messaging. Maybe we've grown out of this leader too?
Justin Trudeau says one thing but does the other.
I visited Edmonton Griesbach, where Justin Trudeau promised to build more affordable homes.
Instead, he's building luxury condos you can’t afford.
With his plan — developers get rich, you get gouged.

Jagmeet Singh is out of his depth, floundering on climate policy, and bringing embarrassment to the national party. The partisans trying to gaslight voters aren’t helping either. The Carbon Tax is law right now, whatever Mickey Mouse plan they come up with isn’t.

Is maintaining gargantuan car infrastructure in the centre of the city really how you want to “build” “communities”? I agree consultation and debate have unfairly delayed many (predominantly housing) projects in the past but maybe this time you should listen to those objecting 🫠

i know! isnt that infuriating? we should build better public transit infrastructure to allow it to be a viable alternative to cars, because it sure isn’t now. with the proper investments, public transit could become cleaner, safer, faster and cheaper than cars

Just took the 300 and 320 night buses across the Toronto. Given that every bus was packed and organized into convoys like a train, maybe the 8am opening time on Sundays is antiquated? This is a city, people have places to be at off peak times

Electric cars are definitely part of the solution but imo a bigger undertaking would be reevaluating our land use and public transit infrastructure/investments so people who dont want a car dont need one

Subsidizing demand
For many, the dream of homeownership feels like it’s moving further out of reach.
That’s why today, we are launching the new Tax-free First Home Savings Account, to help young Canadians and first-time home buyers save up to $40,000 – tax-free!

An old shelter building in Sudbury has been demolished for a parking lot. CBC claims parking is “critically needed” (AS IF SHELTERS AREN’T?) in Sudbury’s downtown, in which approx. 40% of the land is dedicated to surface parking (with underground & structural too).
