Winnipegger for progress.
It can be done successfully but it depends on the shape of the building. It’s easier to provide the required window area (and by extension bedrooms) to units in flat slab shaped towers than square ones.

I should also note that categories 2 & 3 should not be permitted on separated bike paths. Maybe permitted to use painted bike lanes to bypass traffic?

2. Light E-motorbike: speed limited (50-60 km/hr), pedals not required, same licensing and insurance requirements as step through motor scooters.
3. E-motorcycles: it’s an electric motorcycle.

They should remove the limbo by creating legal categories.
1. E-bikes: speed limited (something like 30-35km/hr), no throttle, must only assist when pedaled (ideally proportional assist with torque sensors, may have to grandfather in older cadence sensor bikes)

I hear about people using food delivery for things like McDonald’s and when I think about how those meals’ quality falls off a cliff starting about 2 minutes out of the kitchen I’m astounded. There’s some types of food that retain their edibility long enough, but I’ll always go get them myself.

It's -31 C today here in Winnipeg, but that's a dry cold. I suspect that the -9 in Nuuk would be a substantially more penetrating cold than a dry -9.

About ¾ of the way through the book and I’m really enjoying it (as an interested layman). I particularly appreciate the illustrative renderings.

I had this same thought, but unfortunately swimmers would be vulnerable to the concussive wave for a significant distance from the blast, and anyone underwater would be particularly affected.
