Also, watching history repeat itself with the same kinds of scandals or terrible political decisions as though nobody remembers or knows about extremely similar things that happened 20 years ago.

It's a weird anti-intensification/anti-urbanism talking point I see from time to time. They'll claim people overwhelmingly prefer the suburbs, completely ignoring how many millions of people live in cities.

Toronto councillor wants to save a strip mall, even if means thousands of homes don’t get built 1km from a subway station

Alright #BikeTO take a breath, "The City of Toronto has debuted at #55 on the list of the Top 100 most bicycle-friendly cities in the world in the 2025 Copenhagenize Index!"
So which elected municipal rep in #TOpoli is going say out loud that they'll strive for 25 in 2026?
#PoliticalWill anyone?

Parking! In the wknd Toronto Star I write about what to do with our underused parking lots & garages. New data shows lots profound emptiness. There’s more efficient & useful possibilities. City is already building some housing, but NIMBYs are protesting just as the sun rises. Ignore em & go harder.

It's kind of incoherent. It's hard to tell what any of the documents are from the search results. Some of them seem to be full text of news articles. There's a 127 page document that might be Monica Lewinsky's memoir?
