The meeting (obviously ) covered at lengths housing Co-operatives, and it seems that Leeds is a hotspot - which is both reassuring and worrying given that it is very very marginal here - LILAC is a great example, now scaling that up 10,000 times would kinda beginning to address the issue…

Cycling everywhere in Leeds is possible, but I would be very hesitant in putting my 3 year old on my bike on my commute along the streets - or I would take very different routes for safety.

But more importantly - here, the question of mobility beyond the dominant car paradigm has been central to the conversation - with all the inclusivity problems that (poorly executed) public transports and infrastructure can cause.
Cars are still associated with safety, and as a cyclist I can attest

Interestingly for this group of radicals, the use of technology as a one-to-many communication device was not much questioned - everything streamed on Instagram Live, mentions of Facebook and WhatsApp as the tools to unlock unfettered communication. There is a lot to educate on!
