The @yegbike.bsky.social annual Hallowe'en critical mass was on All Saints/Dia de los Muertos this year. We haunted streets, possessed the bridge & aced pedalling in the rain.

So I did a thing.
I’m sure this comes as no surprise to any of you. It certainly came as no surprise to my parents when I, at the tender age of 14, came out to them. Their nonplussed response: “why of course you are, dear!”

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.

A great primer on restrictive covenants. This was the tool that Safeway utilized to prevent other grocers from setting up shop in their former smaller scale locations.
New video on YouTube where I talk a bit about how ppl in #yyc are trying to use restrictive covenants to go over the city’s head on land use — and asking if there’s any unforeseen consequences: The good and bad of restrictive covenants in Calgary
