Change in children under 15 between 2001 and 2021 in Calgary. When your neighbourhood is losing children it's a clear sign it needs fixing. New suburbs are doing fine on this metric (for now), some central ones are ok, but the older suburbs are crying for help.

More than anything else, this stuff really makes me despair that Melbourne can ever fix its traffic problems. Street with huge pedestrian traffic, trivially able to be closed to cars, not even a nice/efficient route for cars. Literally no downsides. And yet it doesn't happen.

The Lambton ward byelection wasn’t about left vs right, or even pipes vs bikes. It was a defining tussle between two amorphous political factions that have defined Wellington local body politics for decades - and it proved which side is winning. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/22-02…
