“Rent too high? Blame landlords, not immigrants.” This is frustrating. The housing debate has too much racist shit, I agree. But if you want to welcome more immigrants, you **need** to emphasize housing supply more. Rent control and “landlords are bad” won’t turn less housing into more housing.
RENT TOO HIGH?
BLAME
LANDLORDS
NOT
IMMIGRANTS
• Quebec has over 65,000 short-term rentals through services like AirBnB. In Montreal, 44% of AirBnBs sit empty at any given moment.
• It's landlords who decide to increase rents. Quebec's rent increases were double the rate of inflation for 2022-2023 (with an average increase of 7,35%). Profits are growing.
• Real estate is Canada's wealthiest industry. The 25 biggest landlords now own a fifth of all private apartments.

Got @humantransit.bsky.social’s revised book from the library today. So far of what I read (first 5 chapters), this caught my attention more than I expected. Imo every foamer should read these couple of paragraphs at least twice

Hi Bluesky! I moved from Twitter because it changed too much, and I think I found my new home. Don't you dare change either! I'm sad to leave behind 7k followers, but I'm hopeful they'll find me again here. Please tell all my fellow NIMBYs I'm here and ready to protect my Bluesky neighborhood!

Excellent explainer. It's a pretty good sign of Hochul's motonormativity that the overnight tolls (9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays and 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. on weekends) will now be $2.25 per car. For comparison, subway fare is $2.90 per person and there's no overnight discount.

Burning coal is an outdated technology for electricity production, but damn did they have the juice. This thing is other worldly.

Can New York's new law requiring registration of short-term rentals actually bring down the city's sky-high rents? The short answer: Probably, yes. The long answer: There will be math.

NYC DOT calls the benchmarks "goals" instead of "mandates" because they would otherwise have to admit that Mayor Adams is breaking the law by neglecting to meet the annual bike and bus lane mileage minimums.
