Cartoon of multi-modal neighbourhood

So in my experience, the most effective approach in cities, suburbs & rural areas, is to define SUCCESS BY CONTEXT. Common sense, really — the answer can’t be “one size fits all.” Not if you want credibility.

Imagine if we ACTUALLY CAME CLOSE TO “BALANCE” in suburbs?

It would be transformative! 5/

Graphic of mobility prioritization.

The interesting thing about getting people to agree that the goal should be transportation “balance” — TRUE balance, not the lip service we’ve been paying in 99% of suburbs that’s really just about slightly less car dependency — is that to achieve such balance, you’re going to have to PRIORITIZE. 6/

Also, I'm not aiming my comments at you in particular, however, the decisions council is making is costing everyone, especially within the greenbelt. With the centre subsidizing the burb & some very questionable land use decisions.

IMOH, the root cause is the Harris years/amalgamation & downloading. We should be pressuring the prov politicians & leadership contenders to fix the broken tax system, so that prty tax is not so heavily relied upon. Ppl will leave Ont if this continues, we will be forced out.

Look at this one calculator & you can see that Ottawa & cities in Ontario tend to pay higher taxes. Why are BC cities taxed at a much lower rate? Homebuyer’s Guide to 2025 Property Taxes in Canada- nesto.ca share.google/CHOI4D516u2N...

@seandevine9.bsky.social
The 2026 Budget and Ottawa’s property taxes: I read your piece & I don't agree with your conclusion. There are many ways to calculate our taxes & everything should be included as that gives the total tax burden. Ontario & Ottawa are poorly governed,thus, we pay more.

Haha!

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
