Is it a public transit trip if it doesn't include a BC Ferry?

This is kind of radicalizing me on redeveloping PBRs. They're all built pre-80's and will rapidly become unsafe in the case of a major earthquake. Anything new is vastly safer (and also much more climate resilient)

Events should be a part of everyday policing and shouldn't have any extra costs for organizers, especially for small and medium events. The city actually then gives a much larger portion of their budget to police if community grants go strait into event policing (or back to the city by site booking)

I heard that consultants came up with the first image purely as a concept of what could happen, and people just ran with it. The final design should be somewhere between the two pictures!

Yes, you can get great urbanism in small towns! It makes me think of small Italian towns on top of hills, which are very dense because of limited space.

Wow in the summer you're producing like 2x+ more than you consume? That's incredible, you functionally solarized the house next to you as well

In some european countries its much more regular to see longer rental leases, usually in renewable 3-5 year chunks. It's usually capped at ~10 years, but some can go longer. Or in BC, where leases can't be capped (until the landlord has a viable reason for eviction)

It feels like either they are perpetually stuck in renovations, and some change so quickly it feels like a surprise.

When we have to beg to keep public lands, tax those with the least just to keep wealthy landowners happiest, only magnify the voices of those who want to freeze time & do nothing - you can’t tell me that planning isn’t abysmally broken.
You don’t need a plan to say we need homes & schools.
