Replacing top people in city halls “without cause” costs serious public money. @fabulavancouver.bsky.social is on it. “They’re now on the 4th chief planner since I left & the 4th city manager… that’s an expensive, chaotic way to do things. People underestimate how much damage stuff like this does.”

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.

Very proud and a bit nervous to share About Here’s latest video “The Housing Tax Crisis” with @smallhousing.bsky.social. This script took months of research and a bit of me losing my mind but I think it ultimately tells a profound story about our housing crisis today.

"The average new single-family home built in America in 2024 was 2,366 square feet (220 m²), just slightly up from 2,223 square feet (206 m²) in 1999."

Americans live on the edge of financial instability as a baseline due to oversizing everything. Bigger doesn't always equal better.

It’s time for Canada to import Japanese zoning, Korean and Spanish transit construction practices, Dutch road design, and Swiss building codes.
