If adding new housing to existing neighbourhoods lowered prices why is Vancouver's housing the most expensive in North America. No center city has added more housing. docs.google.com/document/d/1lQ…

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” grist.org/biking/one-mil…

How is the Government balancing its plans to “back the builders, not the blockers”? Tomorrow at 2.30pm we're questioning housing developers on how plans to build new homes can be delivered without undermining environmental goals.👇

🚨President Trump released his "skinny budget," which would lead to a deep and devastating range of spending cuts to vital housing, transportation, and community development programs and devastate communities across the country. Read our take ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/how-trumps-bud…

Do NOT let house builders get away with this nonsense. Their reasons given in this article are laughable. Instead stop them banking land to raise house prices & tell them to get on with making sustainable houses. It’s what we both want & need.

Offshore wind developer blames "adverse macroeconomic developments, continued supply chain challenges, and increased execution, market and operational risks" for suspension of 2.4GW project. So, nothing to do with the planning system then. tinyurl.com/3e7xha2b
