Very cool. Is there a limit to the size of the model, as I think you had some other parts of the city modeled that aren't included.

There is definitely too much of a concept of post-secondary as a place to park yourself while figuring out what to do with your life (partying, avoiding 'adulting', networking/finding a partner). A lot of people think of school as a kind of sabbatical interspersed with lectures and exams rather...

Joe Taxpayer also doesn't want to vote for higher taxes.

Jeez. When was Trudeau elected again? /s

I would really like to see an explanation for why the utility thinks this is okay. They could have just relaid the pavers, it's not like they had to replace them. Is relaying them really that much more expensive than the asphalt patch? To me it seems like this is laziness and total disregard for...

All these redundant signals must be adding tens of millions to the city's budget to maintain.

I think that was a misinterpretation. It is 5k sqft. 5k is a lot of people. Cocktail party spacing that works out to about 500 people. https://thewelltoronto.com/work/event-bookings/

Hydrogen has the small problem of being a thermodynamically silly idea. It isn't scalable and it isn't economic. If we are suggesting to make it out of natural gas, we'd be better off burning the gas directly and skipping the trillion dollar greenwashing infrastructure. If we are suggesting...

Is that the question? The timescale is maybe up for debate, but it is going to happen.

Wow, this is a very important detail. There are observers I respect like Mike Moffat and Ben Rabidoux decrying this story. It is very important context to include that this was a related party tax avoidance situation, not an innocent tenant.

People laughed at Toyota and Hyundai, too.

I think changing the Dundas BRT to LRT is the dodgiest suggestion. If Milton Line is upgraded to allow all-day service, the BRT is not all that useful for getting to Kipling station. So the BRT is more for movement directly on the corridor, not about shuttling people to Kipling.

It feels rather moot. The mayor of Mississauga is not empowered to realize such a plan. At most, they could advocate to Metrolinx/Province to include in the RTP. This is like the student council president promising to make the cafeteria lunches taste better. Rather unserious when it comes to...

If I could order something and get it from the condo lobby in 15 minutes for free vs paying $10 for instacart to bring it to my door, I could perhaps be persuaded to deliver it myself. Maybe Amazon could hire people who live in the building to bring it from the lobby to the door for an extra...

Those rich people move into new units, freeing up where they used to live for slightly less wealthy people, who then free up space for less wealthy yet, and so on. Adding "luxury" supply still trickles down. No one is going to be building new units without AC, insuite laundry or dishwashers for...

I think sidewalk with concrete is a bit closer to the intent where it tells drivers they are crossing pedestrian space.

Kitchener has implemented a continuous sidewalk. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/kitchener-introduces-new-continuous-sidewalk-1.6888610

In Vancouver, do they refer to them as such? They have Canada Line, Millennium Line, etc. I expect exactly no one to refer to this as the McCallion line except official communication.

I like this approach in NL for things like townhouse complexes. Wheelie bins are not very practical for the tight private drives, and they take up a lot of room. Not everyone has appropriate outdoor storage.

Under the new requirements, all hybrid and electric vehicles will now be required to have sound emitters that would produce noise at low speeds. Automakers can determine the type of sound the vehicle makes, but the volume and pitch must allow a road user to hear if a vehicle is speeding up or...
