This has been my observation as well. Teams either choose to go faster at the expense of correctness (or at the expense of doing things in a deliberate way) or they use the productivity gain to make something bigger while increasing the quality/robustness/resilience of what is shipped.
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 4h agoYeah basically. We've been able to pick up more ambitious scopes and more aggressive correctness, but have not gained on pace at all

Left YIMBY Mamdani lfg With so many people on the lift taking inspiration from Mamdani, this framing toward building more housing is so encouraging to see
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2d agoWe can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
This shit is so fucking funny and pathetic hahahahaha Yes it is real

Turns out people are a lot more fond of European-style mid-rises when they’re opposing high-rises — than when it’s actually time to broadly legalize mid-rises.
Justin McElroy 🇨🇦@jmcelroy.bsky.social · last wk.For as long as I’ve been a reporter in this city the complaint has been that we build too many giant luxury condos in a few places and not enough medium density housing across neighbourhoods. But this week reaffirmed why that approach is so baked into the DNA and political culture of Vancouver.
Pouring one out for Vancouver. Guess you'll stay being more expensive than Toronto.
Peter Waldkirch 華彼德@pwaldkirch.bsky.social · last wk.The Vancouver Villages plan was defeated. This is a huge blow to housing policy in the city. This was the easiest part of the Vancouver Plan to implement; Ken Sim directed staff to prioritize it. If we can't pass this, what's the point of any of it? All housing policy work here is in limbo.
Attention single-stair/missing middle people: as part of OBC review, the Province has opened a consultation on the Building Code, seeking to “identify ways to reduce unnecessary costs, delays, complexity, and administrative burden”. Runs to August 14. ero.ontario.ca/notice/026-0744

The authors of Abundance were pretty clear that it didn't just mean build anything. They had a fairly constrained list of concerns, one of which very prominently was high speed rail to have an abundance of intercity travel without using jet fuel.
Alex Bozikovic@alexbozikovic.bsky.social · 2w agoIrritating to see the Toronto island airport battle framed as NIMBYism. This was a project with zero business case that would have destroyed economic value and soft power – and stopped homebuilding! It was a terrible project that deserved to die. When people say no, sometimes they are correct.
There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.
** Rubio endorses war crimes ** During a gaggle at ASEAN, Rubio was given repeated opportunities to rule out the US will commit war crimes in Iran "Iran's policy is an eye for an eye. The president's policy is a head for an eye. They are going to suffer," he said Here a clip of Rubio's responses:
Félicitations Michigan! On travaille fort pour doter le Québec d'un ajustement réglementaire semblable. #polqc
Welcoming Neighbors Network@welcomingneighbors.us · 2w ago🎉 Big win in Michigan! 🎉 Single-stair buildings up to 4 stories are now law! Lower building costs, more home choices that Michiganders can afford. HUGE congrats to @abundanthousingmi.bsky.social for their hard work to help make this happen. 🙌
Many people argue against YIMBY reforms to enable more housing because “when prices fall, developers will just stop building”. 1. Better than prices continuing to rise with no supply response! 2. Even their “low” periods of construction can be higher than supply-constrained cities (like SF).
Je sais que le problème de la congestion au Québec est «Montréal», mais si on creuse un peu, on se rend compte que le nombre de véhicules a explosé depuis 50 ans. En 1978, on comptait 2,2 personnes par véhicule en circulation. Aujourd'hui, c'est rendu 1,2 Québécois par véhicule!
In violent reaction to the reconfiguration of society into treating women and people of color as equals. It is a desperate, ferocious clinging to what they feel should be a higher status in a 'natural' hierarchy. Because the alternative is the terrifying prospect of being judged by what they do.

C’est deux fois plus vite que la croissance de la population durant cette période. Le poids des véhicules a aussi augmenté. » lp.ca/p2emC1?shari...
