But it's a "suffocating vetocracy" because it's often not an outright "no", but rather it's a subjective approvals process, coupled with delays and fees that don't outright ban things, but rather render them uneconomical to build.

Looking at the feedback loop from the 2035 ICE phaseout and I can't help by notice the O&G narrative that EVs aren't proven technology running simultaneous to unquestioning backing of carbon capture technology.

“I’ve worked in real estate and affordable housing for almost a decade now. There’s just no way you can get a parking garage to pencil. A multi-level structure can cost upwards of $80,000 for each parking space.” @Citizen_Cate @Sightline sightline.org/2023/12/06/how…
Weird. Just looked outside and the sky is some sort of blue colour.
“Compared to self-driving cars & just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” — @DavidZipper in @FastCompany fastcompany.com/90994141/why-2…
CBC digs into who would stand to benefit the most from eliminating the carbon tax. The answer: households who make more than $250,000. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Suggestion for a no-cost-to-taxpayers way the city could support transit ridership. Pass a bylaw requiring that any business that provides subsidized parking to its customers must also provide an equal subsidy to customers who arrive by transit.
At the moment, @PierrePoilievre is the only political leader offering a coherent (although wrong) analysis of (1) what the housing problem is; (2) why is has happened; (3) what needs to happen to solve it. So clutch your pearls, 'cause I'm going to seriously engage with it. 1/12

Equally stupid was the @NCC_CCN requirement to “bury” LRT along the Parkway, and to bury the line (but not the open Stations) in the former Byron streetcar corridor. Huge $ expense and years added to construction/disruption time.
Tell me this isn't the most frustrating thing you've ever seen. We're burying most of this train line for literally no reason at all. Ballooning costs, just so people don't have to look at a train in a flat field.
🇨🇦 Ava Holmgren (18, 1st year U23) - 3rd in X2O Trofee 🇧🇪 Baal today - is one of the youngest podium finishers ever in a race of one of the big cyclocross series (World Cup, SP, Trofee). In the past (almost) 15 years only Shirin van Anrooij was younger (3rd in DVV Lille 2020).
