328 days for #winnipeg City Staff to review & reject small scale infill housing on Bristol AVE. Councillors later approved design & density, but this shouldn't take this long #wpgpoli

Young people will inherently live in a city based on the decisions being made now on how difficult it will be to get to work, find a place to live, get supplies, send kids to school, and get access to care #wpgpoli

"The 5-0 vote on the policy... will make it easier to build townhouses, duplexes and small buildings with up to 4 — and in some cases 6— units in neighborhoods that for decades required one house with a yard on each lot."

This verdict calls out an appeal by wealthy homeowners (the process is $$$) as a frivolous tactic to delay the building of new housing. This has been going on for decades, driving up housing costs by millions. Finally called out for what it is: “unsubstantiated apprehensions.”

New zoning tools are coming to Los Angeles! The new framework will make it easier for everyone to access and understand the regulations that determine how use and development shape the City. 🏠 bit.ly/3Dj4Stq

“A proposal calls for [Oregon] to annually estimate the amount of new housing at various price levels needed in each city… It would then hold cities accountable if they do not clear red tape or take other action to boost development to those levels.”

The cost of doing nothing is NOT nothing.
#Housing has been a huge failure of all med/large Canadian cities, provinces, federals, since 2000. Pro-politicians failed. #Ostriches. No vision and/or guts.
Together we can create #Cities4Everyone, but doing things very different. Now!

A major piece of the 15 minute city concept involves providing more housing choices by decreasing government regulation on what you can or cannot do with your private property… So it’s that much more wild hearing recent objections to it coming from political conservatives…

Cities rise or fall in decades, not centuries. The fragility of our city is around us everywhere - on streets, the TTC, the struggling core. But Toronto has been handed an opportunity for a fresh start. Will we take it?

The "15-minute city" by urbanist Carlos Moreno is the belief that every neighborhood should have access to work, housing, food, health, education, and leisure within a 15-minute walk. It's a really simple but transformative goal.

We massively overbuilt car infrastructure. Now we are repairing our mistakes, so cities work better for everyone.

Today, @APA_Planning released its #Equity in Zoning Policy Guide which aims to arm planners with pro-zoning reform ideas that can dismantle discriminatory barriers to housing. Zoning should encourage fairness, not exclude options. Download the guide: bit.ly/3wZiqqJ
