Locking in with @zakls.bsky.social is out now! In this episode, we explore how structure creates freedom in our lives. We discuss how faith and daily practices builds discipline, the challenges of living independently while staying accountable, and how to date with intention.

It must feel great to be a bus driver and to get to righteously and loudly honk at people blocking the bus stop.

Locking In with Zubin Gell - Episode 9

Locking in with Zubin Gell is out! We dive into the brutal reality of job searching, grad school as a default option, finding competence through work, wrestling with faith and authenticity, and why most young men today aren't actually "locking in", they're completely "locked out.”

I'm extremely disappointed in this "balanced" plan. This policy would kill a ton of housing where it is needed most, with nothing concrete to make up for it.

Strap in folks, because I have a lot of thoughts that have been brewing over the last few weeks🧵

It’s no secret: The housing crisis is real.

We must build more homes to stay ahead, ensuring affordability and housing options instead of growth in new areas that will drive up costs.

Because Brad lied about being pro urbanist and Olivia Chow never said a word?

I don't understand this tweet was this just you making yourself feel better about how disappointing Olivia Chow has been?

Those who scream the loudest about how "this is so undemocratic" are often those the least interested in the actual will of the people.

Umm @ttchelps.bsky.social there's no area code on this number? Who do we call?

It's crazy how the average Toronto intersection is like
30 pedestrians
6 cyclists
2 cars
1 guy doing a 3 point turn

But is designed like

Tiny sidewalk
No bike lane
Two car lanes

It's not defunding this was extra money?

Holy shit they are delaying the (very simple) redesign of a tiny part of Yonge Street until 2030!!!

There is a sickness in our culture.

Another quick blog post. 7-8plexes in Edmonton are overwhelmingly being built near LRT stations. A blanket curtailing of the 8 unit maximum would mean fewer people able to live a short walk, bike ride or bus ride away from mass transit.

A quick, but deeper look at 7-8 unit multiplexes in the RS zone and where they are located in relation to transit.

It's also a negative cycle. We'll be told more support is needed in the suburbs at a time those councillors indicated they'll ignore us.
Anyway, look at the surveys, letters, in-person consultation attendees and deputations. Suburban ward housing advocates showed up; the mayor didn't show up for us.

Perks isn't voting yes with strong mayor powers.
A bigger issue for me is multiple councillors (Carroll, Fletcher) used questions and speeches to state that residents associations were saying no, dismissing those saying yes as just from downtown. And the mayor said nothing to correct that.

The most flagrant lie that has been told this week is that Olivia Chow's hands were tied, and that she had to compromise.

I explain why that is not the case, and why the bare-faced conclusion is simple:

Olivia Chow Doesn't Care About the Housing Crisis

The stars aligned, but Mayor Chow chose inaction.

Why do we consider it good that creatives spend the majority of their time doing mindless work? We should want them doing more actually creative work, not more ads!

Even with clothes the average person buys way more and way more interesting clothing then before clothing got automated.
