This is so important! It's not enough for more housing to be built, but people have to be able to afford it! There's two ways to fix that, making housing cheaper, or raise wages, and it's a hell of a lot easier for governments to raise wages!

Interesting that you feel the need to point this out, when @arieltroster.bsky.social mentioned the Proud Boys co-opting the first part of this phrase. What are you trying to get at with this comment?

Why can't we have most stations like this? I loved going through this every day for college!

I love this style of building!something just feels so right about it. Maybe it's the balconies that everyone gets, maybe it's that it's not too big so that you can actually get to know your neighbours (compare how many people are in 7 storey tall buildings), I want more of these!

I had a great time sitting down with Jeff discussing the intricacies of what the Planning and Housing Committee does, how it relates to the City Official Plan and the Provincial Planning Statement, among other things. #Ottawa #poli #housing

I love bluesky, but it's short form and it's not easy to go in depth on complicated topics on here. So I have started a blog called "Dwell On This" dwellonthis.substack.com If you like what I post here on bluesky, come over to my blog for more in depth conversations about architecture and advocacy

Currently listening to the Planning and Housing Committee, where a presentation to support the daycare expansion (that I spoke about last night here). I'm still waiting to hear what the argument is against a freaking daycare. You can watch this here: shorturl.at/v6UKk #ottawapoli #housing #advocacy

When people push back against the construction or expansion of needed services in the community, they are actively breaking an unspoken social contract that we all promise to uphold. #ottawapoli #housing #advocacy

As a follow up on my previous post: makerspaces are the ultimate hidden gem in any city and here's why. Makerspaces are shared workshops that use the collective buying power of the community to provide access to tools that are cost and space prohibitive for an individual.

You know how cold it's been lately? Sure is nice to have somewhere warm to be, isn't it? Unfortunately not everyone does. Make sure your candidates speak on this!

THIS!!! We need to help demystify Architecture as "art" and help the average person understand, and how to relate to it. Outside of artistic theory, outside of philosophy, let's take it out of the ivory towers of the scholars and give it back to the people!

So Ford has announced that he's officially calling a provincial election on January 29th. Make sure you're registered to vote, and check out who is running for MPP. Now is the time to look at who is running in your district and ask them what they're doing for the #housingcrisis. #onpoli #advocacy
