Why did they keep making surfing movies after James Cameron already made the perfect one: Point Break

Have any of you experienced something like this (or worse) due to dangerous conditions caused by a driver turning right on red?

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

It's interesting that "came for the neighbourhood" means, to him, tall buildings.

For most of us, the key fact about these neighbourhoods is that we are priced out of detached homes, and all that's all they have in them.

The full time job of the modal person with the title of "city planner" in the US is to be a steward of segregation.

The interplay of zoning-induced scarcity and the principal residence capital-gains tax exemption has blown up the welfare state and the social contract in this city, this province, this country. Legalize housing, tax land, bring back the middle class.

Housing in BC is an absolute scandal. Modestly-sized homes in larger buildings are illegal. The resulting scarcity results in tax-free profits that flow in the hundreds of billions to incumbent homeowners.

The housing crisis is an inside job, orchestrated by people living in $2M homes, racing to pull up the ladder behind them.

Read the Council Report here: pub-burnaby.escribemeetings.com/filestream.a...

This speaker disclosed that they themselves live in a $2M home. And yet they came to Council to say that a laneway home for someone else is a "monstrosity."

Burnaby had allowed up to four storey "multiplexes," with up to 50% lot coverage. They are rolling that back to appease this opposition.

Tonight, Burnaby City Council is considering a motion to reduce the amount of housing you can build, and to increase the amount of parking you must build.

I turned on the hearing to hear the owner of a $2M home describe her "horror" at a laneway home next door— a "monstrosity" she called it.

Fantastic article by @dannyoleksiuk.bsky.social in @Sightline.org

What I am most struck by is that ALL of my favourite buildings in Vancouver's residential neighbourhoods are ~4-6 storey apartments! Beautiful - I wish we would embrace heritage zoning laws!

No deal

I have lost so much pigment in what’s left of my hair arguing with planners to legalize these everywhere and someday I’m going to sip a glass of wine inside of one built as result of those efforts

I published an article today and Vladdy hit a home run off of Ohtani so overall just a very good day

These are beautiful. It looks like good things are happening in Spokane

@dannyoleksiuk.bsky.social writes for @sightline.org about the potential to bring back small lot apartment buildings.

#singlestair code changes can unlock this option for the first time in a century. Let’s go!

To people looking for a home today, writes @dannyoleksiuk.bsky.social, it matters a great deal whether that home is built next year, or in ten. Re-legalizing small apartment buildings throughout our cities would create more homes faster. www.sightline.org/2025/10/28/t...

i have about two million followers across three platforms. statistically, about 20,000 of you are in the top 1% in terms of wealth. if any of you feel like leaving me your home in a walkable neighborhood when you die, that would make for a very heartwarming social media story.

Here's a consolidated thread with some of our more recent #SingleStair explorations.

We've been doing these with the aim to influence vancouver zoning and building code deliberations, and because we want to understand what the potential is.

First up: 33x122 lots, 4 and 5 storey, fronting a park

when you make the *existing city* illegal to build again today this is the obvious and inevitable consequence: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Oh interesting. Send me the details please.

The day is off to a good start

Just hit a new deadlift personal best at 185kg, reaching my goal for the year with 2.5 months to spare.

people protesting an extra floor at the OV school because of congestion when I will quite literally buy a car to drive up to Ontario & 16th for his current catchment if he can’t get into the OV school

It's okay if you don't want to live in a city, with multi-storey buildings.

Some people do want to, and that's okay too.

Accessible single stair flats on a 50x122 lot.
12 family size homes (or) 24 small units.

It would be really funny if the Canadian team won
