I feel like the authors may even understate how car-dependent a world we’ve built - with a century of huge building setbacks, minimum parking requirements and free highway development, it’s obvious that people “prefer” their car. It’s being given to them on a silver platter and a 9:1 subsidy.

Went for a bike ride with the kids this morning and they decided they were hungry somewhere along the E&N. We attempted this stretch in View Royal from the trail to Iluka Espresso and ... it was really bad. Felt 100% uncomfortable walking with bikes & kids along a high speed road. Do not recommend.

Absolutely cooking on a sunny November morning. Sunny days still give enough power for a full day’s energy.

Our household (including my in-laws who live in our garden suite) have successfully made the all-electric transition this year, in walkable neighborhood with more than 100% of our energy being produced from rooftop solar. We typically e-bike or walk to most things we need, they walk or take their EV

Whatever happens tonight, October baseball has been magical. Thank you Blue Jays, especially Schneids, and Buck, Hazel, and the Sportsnet crew. So incredible to have a committed group of storytellers bringing us from spring training to Game 7. All that said, LFG.
