It's sorta weird that he has two seperate policy planks that would cause 1930s level economic contractions but no one bothers to lay out the likely consequences.

I share these concerns. This is the best we can do with a blank slate? “Villiers Island should be a test case for a future Toronto: a dense city where people move by bike & transit, punctuated by lanes & squares that shun cars in favour of people.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto… #topoli
I say this all the time but here is a good reminder. Calgary has incredible transit ridership. More than Chicago, Boston, San Francisco or Washington. We are one of the best transit cities in the US and Canada. Let’s build on that!

Single-family zoning is a giveaway to the rich: A rich person could buy this house for $2.5M. Or, a dozen people could each spend $800K to construct an apartment building. The dozen could easily outbid the one, but zoning makes it illegal to build apartments.
Great thread. Only item I would add is why only 30 units? Sure it's a loading req, but ppl can decide that for themselves. Though I know @BlairScorgie already covered this.

Upzoning = affordable housing
To be clear, the problem with this image isn't that high densities & lower-cost units are allowed near highways. It's that taller apartments are being excluded from lower-pollution, pow car-traffic areas. In a city where poverty is racialized, that's #environmental racism.

“Mia was a child who reached out through adults who she thought would protect her. The system turned their back on her and now this child is dead. People need to sit with that,” said the province’s former Child Advocate @irwinelman cbc.ca/news/canada/to… #onpoli
Another absurdity, Bloor Yonge versus Spadina. Spadina is better connected (it also has the 510 streetcar) and yet look at the level of development - same scale.

In other countries, where gas taxes are high, large private vehicles are comparatively rare. Some places have also moved to reduce the appeal of SUVs and light trucks, mostly through higher-cost parking and registration. In Canada, though, such measures remain rare. Children hit…

Capping property tax increases at 2.5% is misleading when we recommend raising development charges over 10x that. Renters and young people paying the price once again.
