There are now no more single family home zones in Vancouver. And I'm willing to bet this hasn't caused property values to drop suddenly overnight over concerns for traffic and overcrowding. globalnews.ca/news/4468086/9…

This is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen (only mild hyperbole). This is the view from the train between two stops on the metro in outer-Shanghai. If you've ever wondered how China has room for 1.3bn people... this is how.

It’s Municipal budget season! I’d recommend to all municipal leaders this great podcast on the Benefits of investing in social infrastructure - specifically libraries. Roman Mars keeps hitting dingers with 99 Percent Invisible 99percentinvisible.org/episode/palace…

All my nagging has worked! My parents took the Go Train into the city to watch the raptors parade yesterday and left the car in the suburbs. #proudson

If your significant other tells you to try building something using wooden pallets because they saw it on pintrest- go ahead and get a preemptive tetanus shot.

As a hurricane rookie, it’s amazing and reassuring to watch the preparations and actions of the ‘vets’. I’ve copied you all, and the family is feeling prepped. Stay safe everyone.

Fascinating disaster related Japanese infrastructure I’d never heard about before. Food for thought for those of us living in a place that has had a hurricane and a pandemic in the last 6 months. reasonstobecheerful.world/japans-disaste…
