You should write weird, human stuff as a fuck-you to AI and the awful world we live in, yes, but also because you will be changed and your life will be changed through allowing yourself to be vulnerable and uncomfortable in your art.

Tired: flat streets
Wired: Speed humps, tables, etc
Inspired: Speed *dips*, because modern clearance and suspension makes taking speed bumps at speed no big deal, but dips still make drivers worry they'll damage their car, and that has the highest level of encouraging compliance

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

I swear to God that admin said this was NOT going to pass through the Ducks Unlimited land (just beside it, which you know, is still bad). I remember them saying it was actually going to go through some indigenous land (oh boy)

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

I don't know, I just think that with all the problems in society, the unaffordability of living, and the vast inequality that is the root of many problems, I'm getting very burnt out on corporate consolidations buying up competition to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.

I ❤️ last night's Urbanist Book Club (about Living Disability by Emily Macrae). Her essay says Canadian cities prioritize (winter) spectacle over practical action.
Frost Fest is supposed to encourage winter activity, but clear sidewalks would provide more benefit. Spectacle over action. #YQR

Hate Christmas music? Return to the old folk songs! May I introduce you to Gloucestershire Wassail (also known as Wassail Wassail, All Over the Town), a song that dates back to the late 1700's
Best version is if you can find it with a banjo like this version: open.spotify.com/track/2nBirw...

“What can cities do to recover from this great planning disaster? Here are three reforms that can help. First, remove off-street parking requirements. Second, charge market-rate prices for on-street parking. Third, invest the resulting meter revenue to improve public services on the metered blocks.“

Members of council that say they are "fiscal hawks" but overlook, ignore or even demand inefficient land-use are simply liars. Property tax is how we fund our city and where we can actually find "efficiencies". To ignore this and instead cut amenities shows that you were never serious. #yqrcc
Parking is a cost center. It does not house people nor does it employ people. The city makes it's money on property tax. Increasing the amount of low tax yield land in our city over alternatives while we are having trouble paying for existing infrastructure is simply financial sabotage. #yqrcc
