Montana really wants in on that west coast action

Elgin St Fourplex Open house May 24

Still don’t understand why my red leaf maple has a green branch

Nice to see our Dalebright Passive House as the literal poster child for the Passive House Canada conference Thanks for the photo Shaun st amour

Ok I’m trying to learn some French on Duolingo. The family has opinions about my accent.

Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.

It will likely be difficult to get the public fully on board with having its most iconic tower developed by the company behind displacing the 700 residents of Little Mountain and then sitting on the land for 17 years. And also Vancouver's Trump Tower. But we'll see!

A pope from Chicago… that’s new

@leilanimunter.bsky.social nice sticker

Great to see @vox.com cover #SingleStair w @holz-bau.bsky.social and co.

What comes next for citywide zoning reform after allowing multiplexes? Small-footprint, ‘No-hallway’, car-light / bike centric, accessible flats are a good next step. The question is whether they can be permitted as easily(with as few additional hoops) as a large single family house.

Continuing to tinker with the ai rendering engine (mnml.ai) It still struggles with people and some of the details, but probably worth getting up to speed on how to use it in a useful way.

Single-lot, Single-stair apartment blocks (4 and 6 storey) mixed with existing single family homes (50x122 lots).

On today’s Council agenda: I’ll introduce my motion (co-submitted w/ Cllr Fry) to restore school food funding recently cut. No child should go hungry at school. This is about protecting health, supporting learning, and standing up for equity. Let’s fix this. #VanPoli Link below 👇🏻

Single-stair 12 plex: Imagining an underground parkade, but for electric cargo bikes.

One of the triplexes we're working on: passive house duplex + net zero laneway building.

Mass timber debate echoes some of my thoughts - worth pushing, but don’t fetishize it or pretend it sequesters lots of carbon vs living forests or crop byproducts like straw panels - 6 storey stick frame can do more, in many cases, to reduce embodied carbon - parkades should have been mentioned
