@Flounder4650091 @Sam_Dumitriu That’s a wild take considering Islington has undeniably one of the most if not the most generous social policy in the country. The policy these middle class people you despise voted for and funded.

@garvey_b @YIMBYLAND @levelsio Should probably create an “average day” option that represents the locale. This would be a pretty average day in England

@WiganEmptySeat @handsomeofheart @Sam_Dumitriu I’m not sure I follow this thread. Planning has nothing to do with health and safety. I think you all are talking about building control? Planning is about use and aesthetic.

@handsomeofheart @Sam_Dumitriu Planning (use and aesthetic) is not the same as building control (healthy and safety).

What’s the point in having bus lanes if they’re never going to be enforced, @TfL ?

@lcthomas1212 @HAL9000Machine …hard to get buy-in though because everyone wants a quick win (politically) and push the can down the road for someone else to sort out once. Here are the many reasons the council opposed the plans. Do you personally want to live somewhere where we don’t consider at least..

@lcthomas1212 @HAL9000Machine Have you looked into the Vorley Road site 200 metres south west of this? Planning was approved years ago and they still haven’t broken ground…islington.media/news/green-lig…

@lcthomas1212 @HAL9000Machine …that’s how you affect structural change to house building, not by trying to YIMBY-wash it and hope that no one notices how terrible it would be for the area’s long term prospects.

@lcthomas1212 @HAL9000Machine ..and local residents into accepting whatever they put forth after the fact. We shouldn’t incentivise this behaviour. They should lose money because it was a bad deal. The council should tax them an excessive amount for every day it sits empty…until they sell/develop…
