The second largest city in the world’s largest economy wants to delay building a subway line because a few people are mad that the train would be *checks notes* 80 feet under their homes. This is why we can’t have nice things.

My Toronto Star column: There’s lots of disagreement about Toronto transit projects, but damn near everyone can agree about one thing: electrifying and increasing GO Train service is a great idea It’s a shame Doug Ford’s government has screwed it up again thestar.com/opinion/contri…

I love that the Conservative vision for Canada is that nothing better is ever possible for us.

Don't build things. Don't govern well. Accept the basic infrastructure of the 1940s in 2026.

Saying “protect private property” about a linear infrastructure project is setting a bad tone in a country that needs high speed rail, pipelines, electrical transmission, new roads etc. Is the CPC vision for Canada “do nothing”? Are they the national NIMBY party?

I so wish the Canadian Conservatives ran on being a competent alternative to the Liberals instead of "We will build nothing and have no vision for the cities where most people live"

Changes like this, even if they can even be reversed, will consume inordinate amounts of time for the next Dem administration. It's much, much easier to destroy something than to create it.

After 2021, Portland raised the IZ requirement from 10% to 25%, requires developers to set aside 25% of new residential units for affordable housing As a result, affordable housing fell almost 99%

The discourse and op-eds on HSR are so consistently cringe. It's exhausting. WE AREN'T CALIFORNIA!

If you want to understand why people are so skeptical of “technological progress”, it’s because in the last 25 years they’ve seen incredible “progress” in digital technology that has largely left us more distracted and angry. Meanwhile, basically everything in the physical and

Such a mindf*ck. The "reason" is mostly apparently because we are too incompetent and so our apparent thought leaders solution is to give up. I wouldn't want to be stuck somewhere with no food, one imagines op-eds preceding our starvation "Walking is dangerous and risky".

Counterpoint: it shouldn’t take a major event to get a city clean.

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of
