As part of Bill 98, a new regulation has been proposed capping minimum lot sizes in zoning to 175sq.m. In Toronto lot subdivision would be feasible in most of the city. I think that's the effective end of Neighbourhoods policy and with it the OP.

Love this! I fully agree with Shawn, that overcrowded street festivals are a sign that we need more of them, not less.

The screams from the elevator today were me
But it's such a pretty building
I enjoy design, but for some reason I have a hard time translating this to understanding/or making choices about clothing. I appreciate @dieworkwear.bsky.social's deep contextualization of clothes and I'm now finding myself excited at the prospect of trying on jeans (?!!).
There were over 46k Bike Share rides in Toronto yesterday, more than the average ridership of the Queen streetcar. The cost to the city to operate that streetcar was over $50k/day in 2015. Bike share costs the city $8k/day. 6x as cost efficient. Smart cities invest in cycling.
In defence of the Toronto street festival. It’s simple supply & demand. Their popularity proves we need more pedestrianized streets, yet Toronto makes it so hard. A city where the ethos is people in public space is a problem while Montreal’s is that’s where people belong. My @thestar.com column.
Yup! And average Bike Share subsidy per ride is $0.37, while TTC is $2.96
Bike Share is much more cost effective, and the city should be investing much more into it considering how its ops budget is a drop in the bucket compared to TTC

In any industry, if something is popular and people want it, they make more of it.
What would it cost to build “family friendly rentals”?
Extraordinary that critics keep attacking the Canadian government for failing to build housing that, today, would cost ~$1-million a unit to produce and subsidize.
Things cost money!

Oh I love my beautiful Estonian-designed concrete mid-century beauty. The exuberant swoop of concrete, the vast balconies, great layouts, the screams of neighbours trapped in elevators, the puddle of sweat when the AC breaks each year, the lawyer bills when AGI presented in the annual rent increase.
I'm raising money for two cat rescue organizations, where I'll answer a style-related question if you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20. Normally, I answer questions in the thread, but I thought this one might be of interest to a wider number of people.
Let's talk about jeans. 🧵

derek guy
I struggle to find jeans that don't have stretch denim. Can you recommend any brands?
