The problem with AI is you can't really shoot it in the head yet

Been reading *Walkable City* by Jeff Speck and found out that there are an average of 500,000,000 empty parking spaces in the U.S. at any given time. That's almost 1.5x as many people live in the country. We have enough parking for another America and a half, assuming everyone owns a car.

Turnbull is also using AI but the errors in this image are more subtle. The guy with red sneakers has a freaky left foot, the fingers still aren't right, the lady with heels has two left feet?

Still disappointed that she's using AI to do this. Someone gift councilors a subscription to Canva #yqr

“When families leave, cities lose far more than tax revenue; they lose their highest earners, biggest spenders, and the next generation of workers. Because Gen Z is a smaller generation… they aren’t going to fill the gap left by millennial families.”
Cities made a bet on millennials — but forgot one key thing
Can cities learn to love kids again?

Its honestly crazy to me that cities leave it to landowners to deal with snow removal on the sidewalks. Like wtf
I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.

Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

Tsiklis loves AI - he uses it to suggest stats to use at council. I can tell he can't yet discern AI nonsense from reality because this Santa's left pinky finger is disturbingly long. #YQR

SOMETHING NEW: Since SO MANY great new books on cities, city-building & urbanism have been published since I did my “Top 100” List back in 2013, on 100 (non-consecutive) days I’ll profile 100 NEWER BOOKS for the #UrbanismBookClub in THIS thread!

Starting today (in no order), with “Messy Cities!” 1/

Southland Mall is packed with people. The teens are sitting around the large tables drinking Orange Julius. It's like I've gone back in time to the 90's

It's budget time so at the end of our interview w/ Mayor Bachynski, we gave him a printed poster of the image below. It's the density vs services vs taxes venn diagram that @brenttoderian.bsky.social often shares around. It includes Regina-related explanatory notes. #yqrcc

I am unable to respond to this, only quote tweet, but this is what Canada has been doing. The federal government has been giving infrastructure money to municipalities on condition of local zoning reform.

Calgary has been considering repealing its zoning reform and the feds have paused their money!

Well crap. List of the winners of the Finding Middle Ground housing design competition have been released. Apparently, my Besźel/Ul Qoma proposal to superimpose a second city on top of this one didn't make the cut. Congratulations to the winners, anyway.

Hey! I'm finally sitting down to lunch but it's still too hot to eat. So how about I run through a budget thing that ISN'T a proposed cut.

Well, it isn't a proposed cut… yet.

Let's talk about city staffing! #yqrcc /1
