Utrecht Central bike parking is genuinely unbelievable.

Friends, in honour of Star Wars Day... Behold! The single most hilarious, most insightful, most perfect movie review ever written! Anthony Lane on Episode III. Enjoy, my Bluesky friends, and May the 4th be with you! www.newyorker.com/magazine/200...

Very touching moments tonight as the Dutch commemorate the German occupation & WW2 tonight. Solemn procession through downtown Utrecht, crowd at the memorial, and a universally observed 2 minutes of silence at 8, including service workers watching the ceremony on TV, standing

Continuous brick sidewalk along the fiestraat. Raised crossing of the fiestraat. Not convinced on the wheelchair accessibility of brick but the cities are by far better designed. Saw some blind people and those with walkers doing great in transit / in restaurants.

Sitting in a jazz bar on a Sunday in a central square of Utrecht. Lovely music, lovely city. Better than Amsterdam imo.

Come for the “this is illegal in North America” urbanism, stay for the hot stroopwaffles.

Amsterdam is a great city. Living up to expectations. 2 more days here before beginning our 10-day bike tour of the countryside.

About to take a trip to the Netherlands and Belgium. Hoping to post photos during my bike tours and train rides.

Daylighting and car-free creekside walkability. Priceless.

I was wrong on the seat count, but I was pretty directionally correct.

Read the whole thing.

Excellent article.

There are are 52 ridings across Canada where the population density is greater than 3,000 people per square kilometre. The Liberals won 48 of them. The NDP won 3, while the Conservatives won 1 — York Centre.

Conservatives made a big push to expand their support with visible minorities, and it had an effect. In 2021, Liberals won all 10 ridings where visible minorities were more than 80% of the population. The Conservatives flipped three — Brampton West, Markham-Unionville, and Richmond Centre-Marpole.

Crazy vote share.

excited for one of my favourite parts of every election night, where hundreds of people become experts on how the dynamics of rural newfoundland will compare with the rest of the country long range mountains time to shine

Happy election day to everyone except this jackass and those propping him up.

Everything I know about Castanet poll results tells me this result is impossible. Normally it skews 10 points right of the election result. I don’t see any explanation besides: 1. A campaign rigged it (completely possible) 2. LPC win both Kelowna ridings tomorrow @ccdacre.bsky.social

Genuinely what is the plan to bring down raw material cost? Finished lumber. Concrete etc. Are we just expecting it stays like this.

There should be a conversation about event geofencing vehicles. If it’s possible for scooters…

The problem with trying to measure the housing stock growth rate while controlling for X is that X is rarely a variable independent of the housing stock growth rate.

I’m not saying this is the most likely scenario but: BC2024 suggests that there is a chance that topline polling numbers are concealing big shifts in visible minority communities in both GTA and metro Van.

It’s close either way, but gun to my head I’m guessing the LPC win Kelowna. Comes down to how much the FedNDP chose to vote split.

www.reddit.com/r/kelowna/s/... Very impressed with Fuhr’s answers overall.

Highly recommend this video. Does growth pay for (more than) growth? Is the allocation of infrastructure costs between current properties and new growth always rigorous? Is the debt model (paid by taxes over the life of the asset) more fair and objective? #urbanism

From the BBC coverage of this: The government estimates that of 1,600 deaths on UK roads last year, four were caused by cyclists.
