the worst people in the world are capitalizing on a tragedy to further their own ideology, and it is sad and scary to see how quickly this was taken and weaponized against trans people, while the very real victims of this shooting are simply an afterthought.

It’s the lack of continuity too. #Metrolinx signage is bilingual; #TTC is unilingual. TTC maps are black, show streetcars; Metrolinx maps are white, skip streetcars, add regional rail. Metrolinx uses 24-hour time; walk a door and it’s back to 12-hour—and that’s before the wayfinding differences!

well here's an opportunity for torontokyo -- federalize zoning then upzone the cities.

this applies to any building over 31 units, one of many reasons why new apartments and condos Look Like That on the street.
I think many people following along the housing discourse know about Ontario Building Code rules preventing single stair and small elevators, but I think more Toronto YIMBYs and urbanists need to be aware of the absurd City of Toronto rules for garbage pickup that swallow the entire ground floor.

Toronto's projected growth: housing that is bad for equity, sustainability, fun.
NOT single family housing or gigantic towers. Better!
SAME # units in 6 floors next to each other than 50 fl each other block.
What if allow on ALL arterials 6 to 12 floors? Allow 4 in single fam. H?
