Implication: America’s artificially cheap on-street parking causes drivers to cruise in search of an open spot, worsening congestion as well as pollution. inrix.com/parking-scor...

No one is downsizing in a down market or risking their life savings on condos. It's too unstable right now, and it's not built for them; it's built for investors.

I have been saying this for a while now: we need to consolidate and repurpose these sites. Perfect for @zoecoombes.bsky.social courtyard housing idea without blowing up existing blocks. But we need to overlay the MTSA and expected growth over time so we don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

Those are legitimate issues, but I’d really like to hear what she would actually do at City Hall, given that she’s the incumbent. What are her specific priorities, commitments and plans for Ward 9? Much of what she mentions is the responsibility of other levels of government.

Deanne Mighton @deannemighton.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Someone from her campaign knocked on my door and couldn’t explain what her platform actually is. What I’m seeing online is largely about e-bike/e-scooter rules, TTC affordability, and calling for provincial support on housing and health care.

I just reviewed the 2026 Ward 9 candidate info on The Local, and I’m honestly concerned that Alejandra Bravo still hasn’t released a detailed platform. #Ward9 #Toronto #TOpoli #TorontoElection #MunicipalPolitics

Given the structural problems revealed by @strongtownsottawa.ca, I'm curious about a fee-based system where you pay for the actual infrastructure and services your home requires. So downtown no longer subsidizes suburbs. Super radical and probably unconstitutional, I realize. But a guy can dream.

I watched the whole episode, and I would like to believe both can be true: A. @damienmoule.bsky.social is correct - we failed to upzone large parts of Toronto when we should have B. Gord Perks is also correct - community working groups led to better buildings once you got past the density convo.

Great episode by @mikepmoffatt.bsky.social and @adammongrain.bsky.social, worth a listen. Standardizing building codes would help. It's also interesting to see how mutual recognition—essentially “one registration, recognized everywhere”—plays out in the future.

A quick #pontistTO moment. Cherry Street lift bridge. Built in 1930 over shipping channel in the industrial portlants. This is the only example of a Strauss bascule bridge in TO & now only remaining lift bridge in the city. Not often lifted, but still in working condition. #paddleTO #TOhistory

The gov't removing them is a gov't these residents didnt elect to make this local decision & which is overriding decisions of the level of gov't they elected Theyre overriding decisions made through a democratic process at another level, with no ability for the ppl affected to challenge the decision

Many are saying that the mechanism to hold a gov't accountable for decisions is to vote. But the residents of these communities engaged in the democratic process & elected a municipal gov't that supported these bike lanes. The local gov't consulted residents, voted & implemented the infrastructure.

One of the final projects I worked on before leaving the city was a walk-through of this building during its initial conceptual stage, alongside Mary MacDonald from Heritage. It’s exciting to see this project nearing completion and opening to the public soon.

45 years ago the Premiers successfully bullied PET into getting natural resources entrenched as exclusively provincial jurisdiction, "forests" absolutely understood as natural resources in this context. (S. 92A) The "national strategy" is for the Premiers to do their jobs!

Toronto can’t build climate resilience while shrinking its urban canopy. Today, Toronto is experiencing the worst air quality in the world—a stark reminder of what’s at stake. Trees are disappearing along Metrolinx corridors and at Ontario Place with no comprehensive plan to replace them.

While reading Julie Dzerowicz Davenport's Community Update for June 19th, I noticed something. The province was never a signatory to the tripartite agreement. So why is the province trying to get involved at all, or is this just a distraction? #BillyBishop #TorontoIslandAirport.
