To be permitted and built just in time for the world to electrify, killing the business case for LNG growth. This is like investing in Blockbuster in 2004, when the company was at it's peak, and Netflix was new on the scene.

Great news for Canada. #1 with most trees per person: 94,400.000 Now, lets work on EQUITY in cities.Upper income areas have over 40% tree canopy; lower income ones under 10%, many under 5%. Proposal: for next 5 - 10 years ALL budget for tree planting should be for U-10% areas.

Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

@onecityvan.bsky.social posted their housing platform. Lots to like: more housing options, more non market housing, better support for renters. Also, they're calling for affordable & accessible flats (like our Four/Five prototype 👇) to be allowed everywhere we already allow plexes and large homes.

All Souls was a meaningful tradition for decades, and its loss is real. I support restoring city support for it, so we can bring it back in a way that's fiscally responsible and addresses equity and access. Vancouver shouldn't be quietly letting go of the traditions that hold our community together.

What comes after the Villages Plan? There's a lot we can/should do city-wide in our R1 zones. * Allow strata lane houses * Allow more plex units per lot (on big lots) * Allow corner stores * Allow smaller lots * Allow Accessory Commercial Units * Allow 'Affordable-Ownership' Small Apt. Buildings
12 unit small lot apartment building, 50x122, 1.6 FSR.
We could allow this citywide, for rental and non market ownership in our R1 plex zones.

AC is the gateway drug to heat pump heating and all electric / zero fossil buildings. It can also be a life saver. We also need shading, good envelopes, retrofits, and urban density with greenery, but AC will be the first point of engagement for many and we need to plan for and leverage it.
