ED of Bikemore. Cargo bike dad. Trying to make Baltimore City a little bit more friendly for walking, biking, and public transit. Occasional 🇨🇦 takes.
Just a little food for thought for both Toronto and for our leaders getting hammered by opponents of allowing more types of housing in more places.
It's always the same folks saying X policy will uniquely harm their city despite evidence it helped everywhere else.
They are CAVE/BANANA people.

What actually happened? Modest, positive change.
Most corners remained residential in the neighborhoods worried about rapid change. Some vacants and some houses were converted into thriving small businesses with housing above them.
The world didn't end, it got a little better.

A project shouldn't exist unless it furthers adopted city plans and complies with law.
We've flagged noncompliance months in advance of resurfacing every year.
There's enough funding and time every year to fix this problem.
Agency leadership just needs to do it.

Next week, the committee will vote on another piece of the bill package, legislation that was heard today from @electryandorsey.bsky.social to legalize new construction single stair multi-family buildings.

This legislation is part of a package of bills that will make it easier to build more affordable, diverse housing in Baltimore, making it easier for families to grow and seniors to age in place.
Complementary bulk and yard zoning changes from Councilman Paris Gray also passed today.

The city apparently told them not to submit an amendment after telling them to submit an amendment. I'm in touch with Hopkins now and they're pushing forward with a resolution anyway.
We'll probably get it resolved just in time for the work to end in a month 🙃

The third bill, scheduled for September 18th, is no less significant. It will permit the construction of apartment buildings up to six stories high using a single staircase. This makes it possible to build much more creatively, and densely, on small or awkward parcels.
