Institutional investors in residential housing are known to jack rents, fees and squeeze every penny out.

Is that different from mom and pop land owners? It is to some extent. Taking them out will make a difference.

That is a pessimistic approach though. Big challenges require ambitious solutions.

If voting is not enough to change society then organizing, advocating, volunteering… that’ll do it.

Be the change you want to see.

Tonight’s #UrbanismBookClub offering is “The Design Of Childhood” by @langealexandra.bsky.social. A GREAT book by an author who WON THE PULITZER PRIZE for a series of articles on the same broad subject in @opinion.bloomberg.com Citylab! Alexandra interviewed me for the book on Vancouver’s work. 6/

We need this in vancouver and burnaby too!

Too many public golds for the few.

Well it's their end goal anyways. That's what I meant.

Insurance wise ok; It's not important whose fault it is.

Security wise, for a platform of autonomous driving cars I would very much say this aspect is important.

Look at the end goal here; no more humans driving. Are the bots crashing into one another?

I agree with you it was an hyperbole.

You need a good story. Let’s all get behind the story that gets us closer to home.

I believe this 100%. But then the data is very cool.

They don’t, most drive

So I mean untrue probably a little bit. But absurd?

Plus what is the message that we want to convey here?

Shitty buses that punish workers are cool? They aren’t and we should fight for better systems.

For adequate systems.
