The rest of the world has no idea what they're missing. Made in Canada, only sold in Canada.

Canada is small in population and mighty in our economy. It is incredible to see the high-rise tower construction happening in Toronto and Vancouver in this North American overview.

How many high-rises does your city have under construction? : r/skyscrapers www.reddit.com/r/skyscraper...

Too many Bots. Is there a way to set-up 'approve follow requests' like other social media rather than fully open follower ability? Possibly, for each post choose who can see it?

In Riley Park, located between #Kensington & #SAIT in #Calgary there is a small patch of Plains Prickly pear, which bloom for a few weeks in late June. The rest of the year they're rarely noticed. This second #photo was taken yesterday. You can't say these cacti aren't hardy, no? πŸ˜‰ #photography

This is amazing growth of Bluesky.

I am fairly new here & seem to have increasing number of accounts that appear to be (?) BOTs following. How are BOTS managed?

Vague accounts with limited followers following. Is it possible to keep #Bluesky followers to be only real humans?

Over time, I have wondered what is in the garages? How are the spaces being used? It is a curiosity. It would be neat to find studies on garage use by people by location.

75% could be a great guess. Anecdotally, I know quite a few people who have only storage in their garage. People with garages and driveways sometimes express concern in planning processes about new density nearbyβ€”that it will take up "their" street parking.

02.01.2025 17:55 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I wonder how many garages are used for parking? How much is used for storage or other purposes? Are there studies on how people use their garages today, the past, regionally over time?

02.01.2025 17:30 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

My post wasn't clear the former. Of the percentage of people with garages, how many use them for cars? I am not sure if there are any studies out there, and I am very curious. And overtime, how have garages been used?

One thing I wonder, how many people use garages for their cars?

I'm excited to discuss mixed-income housing and its potential to create more inclusive communities with economic opportunity.

Creating vibrant urban areas that enable affordable living for everyone is a rewarding pursuit. It's inspiring to connect with others who share this passion for building better cities.

President Carter was a true friend to Habitat for Humanity and worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. He helped families build and repair homes, and brought hope and opportunity to people around the world. Please join in remembering and celebrating his positive impact. #HonoringCarter

US President Jimmy Carter led through hands on building Habitat for Humanity homes. I had the honour to participate in the 2017 Edmonton, Canada Jimmy & Rosalynn led Carter House build. What an inspiring legacy he created leading new homes over 30 years with 108,100 volunteers. #Carter #Habitat

Exterior shot of Black Lion Coffee on the first floor of the building, probably my favorite of many (like 20 it’s nuts) wonderful coffee shops in the area.

I don’t think we should care about aesthetics that much, but I *do* think people think subsidized affordable housing is β€œscarier” than it is.

This building is home to a very fancy brunch place and awesome coffee shop, and looks pretty β€œluxury”.

Most units are home to people making 30-60% AMI

Great article on openstreets⏬️. I had a blast riding through LA during CicLAvia, and I hear Bogota's weekly Ciclovía is amazing. Anyone else a fan of open streets events? #cyclists #openstreets #urbanism

BogotÑ’s Open Streets Program Is the Most Successful in the World. I Went to Find Out Why. If you ask a BogotΓ‘no where they learned to ride a bike, they all have the same answer.

Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy Russia's neighbor has developed a plan for countering misinformation. Can it be exported to the rest of the world?

Finland have introduced critical thinking into the primary school curriculum with the expressed purpose of protecting their democracy.
