People will spend a thousand dollars to travel to Japan to look at cool light up ads and then whine when the same thing happens at home.

#UrbanHealth #Beauty Thoughts on awful new green lighted building of @TD_Canada ? Toronto is our home, we love it, and such gigantic gross advertising is NOT welcome. We want art, beauty, not mammoth atrocious ads. Please, #NoTDgreenBldg . Turn it off now.

Since it's not clear to all this tweet was meant as sarcasm! Toronto planners spend a lot of time and energy trying to reduce the shadows on an area from new buildings. But spend almost none making beautiful spaces like this!

One of the most magical things about The Well is how quiet it is. Not because it's empty, but because it's isolated from car traffic. God I love developers it's so beautiful.

Toronto's tall building guidelines are just incredibly stupid and hostile to the people living in them. Instead of a large building with big units, we mandate two smaller towers instead, with a view of your neighbours living room 5 meters away.

I present Historical Georgism (based on Historical materialism) History is just a list of struggles between the rent seekers of land and everyone else. Every revolution is just a revolt against the rent seekers of land. And this cycle will only end once LVT is implemented.

Of course the Han Dynasty partly collapsed because of rent seeking from a landed upper class. A tale as old as time Land reform has been One Easy Trick for thousands of years
