"The Squamish are going to make a lot of money, and Vancouver is going to get a lot of new housing."
Very good profile of the amazing Senakw project in the NYT today, featuring @1alexhemingway.bsky.social and @khelsilem.bsky.social

Granville pedestrianization for World Cup seems so far to be hugely popular and successful.
You could say it’s a test run toward the future. Our recently adopted Granville Street Plan lays out a fully pedestrian vision.
Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.
These beautiful buildings stand as a rebuke to and an example for the $8M mansions and exclusionary zoning in Kits Point and on Point Grey Road.
We should be angry that Vancouver could not or would not do what the Squamish have accomplished here.
YIMBY/pro-housing is one of the precious few issues in US politics that has managed to hold itself somewhat apart from the polarization that sucks everything else in. It's got bipartisan, or at least cross-partisan, support.
My dream is for clean electrification to follow suit.
It's amazing the stuff people dream up to oppose YIMBYism, which is just the idea that apartments should be legal to build.
Dress it up with all the personal attacks and sophistry you can think of, that's what every anti-YIMBY wants: to keep apartments illegal.
