Interesting that double sided sidewalks that noone will ever use were required but not pedestrian shortcuts between streets. Canadian sprawl keeps winning (because the bar is flat to the ground)
Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢@regimecpa.bsky.social · 3d agoLove drone footage of new builds in exurban Texas, gives me a very particular kind of dread to look at that is hard to replicate with other photos.
This was something a lot of housing advocates saw coming a mile away when the immigration cuts were announced. The fundamental stance of Canadian cities is that they prefer high prices to building housing. They love high prices. Easing off immigration was never going to change that.
Colleen @cbailey6.bsky.social · 7d agoMany said that we had to cut immigration so governments could "catch up" on housing. I tried to explain, based on my experience in housing advocacy, why I thought that was unlikely. Immigrants were just a scapegoat for governments who didn't prioritize new homes. I wish that I had been proven wrong.

I used to believe anyone can do DIY, and then a girl I helped get topical T detransitioned herself for 2 weeks cause she didn't remember the dosage I gave and just yanked the whole bag of T on her dick. Yes I did warn her that whole bag is worth a full masc HRT dose. No she didn't text me to ask
First 12 months of transition for the girl who started with the pills consecrated in the Chicago Rat Hole

For Bundists, Jews belonged everywhere Jews were. As the Jewish socialist Meyer London wrote, "Thousands of Jewish boys and girls pray to God not to lead them again out of Egypt, but to help them free Egypt." 15/

It's the inherent difficulty of attaching positive emotions to something you intend to portray as negative. Like, yes, a lot of online trans lit has an antifascist and anticapitalist angles - but I do wonder if those angles could be sharper if the fascism didnt have to be a hot lady in boots. Yknow?

Trump will happily sacrifice Ukraine to support Israel's continued genocides. NATO starting to get in line to help in Trump's self-inflicted wound in Hormuz, instead of telling Trump to fuck off so he has to take an out and back out, it is going to cost Ukraine dearly at no fault of their own.

Found an incredibly strange floor plan in Mtl The developper chose to split the appartments over two levels, each occupying half of a level floorplate Like app. 101 is lvl 1 front and half basement back, and app. 102 has lvl 1 back and basement front, with the two internal stairs passing each other.
