My version of the 'don't make me tap the sign' moment from the Simpsons is this passage from a piece written by Jerusalem back in 2022.

When input costs and shortages increase for a given product, they are reflected in its listed market price - housing is no exception.

Toronto is making a coaching change. Sheldon Keefe is out.

A few days ago, City of Charlottetown, PE released its revised draft plan with some changes:

-4-unit housing on lots in neighbourhoods
-4-storey apartments near the QEH, UPEI, and Holland College
-A lot more content on climate change

See the track-changed plan here: charlottetownhall.ca/31380/widgets/…

For those interested in contributing to the design of PEI's new forestry policies and forest recovery plans, consultation meeting dates and locations have been posted. 🌲

La réunion à Abram-Village se déroulera dans les deux langues officielles.

Very cool presentation at CUTA-ACTU's spring conference in Halifax today from 🌻 Anna C Keenan 🌻 and Matt Lattavo on their work to improve transit in the Charlottetown Capital Area 🚌

High speed rail.

You should have asked for tips on high speed rail.

The Spring Lobster Fishery on the north shore will open at 6AM on Sunday. The decision was made in an LFA 24 Weather Call this morning that included DFO, Environment Canada and fishing industry reps. The LFA 24 season will run from Sunday (May 5th) to July 4th. #pei

Wow, big changes happening in the Glebe.

The NIMBYs know they are wrong, it’s why they only go after straw men and refuse to engage with the substance of the actual argument.

No one is proposing we ban single family homes. Upzoning allows for more options so it will no longer be exclusively single family homes.

Vancouver transit now carrying ~1.2m riders/day, in a metro area of ~2.6m.

Compare:
—Seattle transit: ~460k riders/day, in metro of 4 m
—Bay Area transit: ~900k riders/day, in metro of 4.6–9.5m, depending on how you count
—Chicago transit: ~1.1m riders/day, in metro of 9.6m

We're so pleased to see such a great turnout today at our AGM, hosted by City of Charlottetown, PE! #PEImuni

The Shape Stratford project has been such a cool way to proactively engage the community on density and upzoning - I've seen their ads on buses and social media, for instance. I think it's a really cool way to create awareness and build support for housing in a housing crisis.
