It's great to be able to share some positive housing news: The BC government is taking real steps to legalize more housing by UBC in the UEL! 🏘️ Provincial multiplexes legal NOW in the UEL mansion district 🏘️ designating the UBC bus loop as a Transit Oriented Area
Funny how it’s always the *other* rich people who are the problem it’s definitely not me because my summer cottage is a working class necessity and I buy san pellegrino reinvest in the economy
Make this everywhere
This 🧵succinctly summarizes how single family neighbourhoods have been subsidized by everyone else & how “growth should pay for growth” is just planner speak to keep justifying it

It is literally impossible to be a new housing development. You have to be thin to avoid shadows, but not too thin or else you're a pencil tower. You're supposed to be pretty, but not so pretty so as to stand out because you're supposed to fit in with the neighbourhood.

It’s hard to understate how historic and important this achievement is. Canada is a better country when Indigenous rights and title fully enjoyed.

This morning, I updated the BC Building Code with #MassTimber changes - effective immediately - that will: ✅Allow for 18 stories. ✅Allow for 9 stories without drywall. ✅Allow for different building structures - like schools and libraries. 🧵[1/5]
Let’s extend the 563!
It is an incredible honour to be your @bcndp candidate in #VancouverLittleMountain in the upcoming #BCElxn2024! Thank you all for your support! Your encouragement, and your passion for a fairer, healthier, more affordable BC has been so moving. 1/3

the symbolism of this move (and that's not to deny its practicality) is that this area is in the Premier's riding but is where land use is provincially controlled. It shows the Province's good faith on this issue

Every time I bring up the idea of a congestion charge in Toronto I’ve heard how drivers would revolt and it’s untenable. But the status quo of this cities downtown is frankly untenable, and our emissions are untenable, and the lack of funding we have for transit is untenable.
Happened upon this when walking Penny this morning. I love fun props when they're not being used by Stephen Holyday.

Construction costs are a big problem but governments are tackling it in ineffective ways with buzzwords like 3D printing Instead we need a complete top down review of all permitting and code requirements to determine the cost impact and whether it can be removed/mitigated

Let’s be blunt: This is true NIMBYism. Opposition to housing and change, mixed with kind sounding words and political jargon to mask the shameless self interest in the position itself. Oakville will never do the right thing left alone. Reform must be provincially driven!

This is a ton of fake nice words to defend status quo NIMBYism in Toronto’s wealthiest suburban city. As a former resident, I’m not shocked. It goes to show you that municipalities cannot be trusted to pursue reforms on their own: the barriers of local politics are too high.
