Yeah there are definitely little pockets of the city we should be using as examples of what we can and should do

I’ve started a slack to try to organize Halifax Regional Municipality 2026 budget advocacy better. We’re specifically pushing for fiscal sustainability and actual serious consideration of revenue, and against frivolous nickel and diming, and want to organize letter writing and council presentations.

I’ve heard it’s pretty fun despite the absolute mess that was developing it!

I got Megan a little treat for valentines and hid it in my office and forgot about it until just now. Remember me as I was (terrified).

Fewer emails but in people's own words is always way more persuasive. It let's the person on the other end know that the person really cares about this and has thought it over.

Please. I beg. It’s all I want, as someone who had no choice but to buy in a suburb since we could no longer afford to rent ANYWHERE. Please, I want to be able to access services in my neighbourhood.

It’s actually very strange that a city requires you to hop in a car and drive for everything. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Vancouver was obviously even stronger for that, but I wanted to make the point that Halifax is not too small to have those kinds of neighbourhoods.

YES!! One of the strangest things when we moved back here from BC was how huge parts of the city are all (mostly single detached) residential. Even the little neighborhoods in Victoria generally had your essentials within walking distance.

The most important long-term fiscally sustainable thing we can do is to enable sprawl repair in the suburbs. The more density we can put into suburban areas where it makes sense the better. Every community should have a main street and a mix of housing.

β€œthis budget has me seriously considering selling my businesses and moving. Halifax is going to become very unlivable, very quickly if our leadership doesn't start growing a spine and fixing something...

I wish the conversation would shift to a cost of service discussion, so we can begin to see just how royally we are fucking up out finances by gutting downtown so some rural boomers can keep paying 2-3k a year in property tax on thier mansions.”

Sam Austin: 

β€œYou should write us or come present next week :)
Right now we're getting bombarded by the paid campaign by the Investment Property Owners Association. Other side of the argument hasn't really shown up.”

Also going to point out this exchange I spotted on Reddit. Right now we are losing this battle to the landlord lobby groups.

You can speak to Halifax Council in person or online on Wednesday February 18 or Wednesday March 4.

Nah, not at all. Text is imperfect though, so I thought it would be best to clarify. Hope you both have the best day you can. πŸ’™

Playing with inky pens and Affinity. Not super happy with this one but it's fun enough. I might re-ink it.
