@UrbanCourtyard @catitamatita Thank you for this! I see 14 parking spaces (incl visitor/service parking?), but do you know how many dwellings / bedrooms? In car-dependent Brisbane this Q looms large.

Want to see the floor plans of a new, award-winning apartment building in Stockholm?
Want to see what becomes possible when single-stair buildings, compact elevators, and sensible code allow small, mixed-use projects to deliver both compact units and large family apartments ... within the same building? ⬇️

Gorgeous new Swedish infill project also won the Swedish Natural Stone Prize 2024 with crust slabs from local quarry for a façade (Stockholm)

Last year at this site a worker was impaled through the neck with a 30cm rod of metal rebar mesh thanks to the contractors BMD. The CFMEU had called the site “a disaster waiting to happen”. The $22m cost is allegedly thanks to protests. I wonder what they were about?
David Crisafulli@DavidCrisafulli
$22 million on one job site. That’s the direct cost of the CFMEU to Queensland taxpayers on the Centenary Bridge duplication alone. We’re determined to return safety for workers and restore productivity to our building sites. It’s why we’ve acted and launched a Commission of Inquiry into the CFMEU in Queensland.

@SustainableTall Looks stunning. Zero car parking as well, which is surely why the ground level is so functional!

Apartments themselves look light and airy, and are easily cross ventilated due to the atrium
Remember - this is not luxury housing, it’s social housing!

We should build like this everywhere. A thread 🧵

@wheelreinvent The pro fares mob thinks price signals have minuscule effects on patronage EXCEPT in the FTZ, where they induce people to ride 400m in a sardine can instead of walking in comfort. Oh and overcrowding will destroy ridership on suburban services while in the FTZ it does nothing!

Car advocates: “Driving everywhere rules, being able to park right outside your house and in front of the shop is essential. So convenient!”
PT fans: “What are you doing on this tram you lazy piece of shit?”
TomOyn 🚉🏗️@AussieWirraway
People tweet like this without realising that one of the big failures of free PT is the Melbourne free tram zone Overcrowding is rife because lazy passengers would rather catch a tram 400 metres than walking because there is zero price signal their trip is stupid

@SCGWalker @googledegreeguy Joe gets accused of voting to make it harder to get an abortion because that’s what he did
English
@googledegreeguy @AbeONeill That’s absolutely correct and Joe gets accused of this often because he is a faithful Catholic. He is also a nurse with decades of experience in care and is and always has been in the years I’ve known Joe, ardently pro-choice and a passionate advocate for women’s health

TFW you voted with the LNP to make it harder to get an abortion but now the Greens are after your seat you’re regretting it

Is it possibly because the 500,000 numbers is 100% made up?
Peter Tulip@peter_tulip
How does the Coalition’s enabling infrastructure deliver so much housing (500,000 homes) for so little money ($5billion)? That’s only $10k a home. Because the government doesn’t need to spend much to get more housing. It just needs to remove obstacles then get out of the way. 1/4

Car parking brain runs deep at every layer of society.
Adam Bandt asked the PBO to do costings for some new medical clinics.
They assumed enough car parking to handle 100% of staff and patients arriving by car.
Over 50% of the entire cost of each clinic!

This means: “We cancelled a Federally funded bus/train interchange project and they agreed not to pull the funding and instead let us go back to the drawing board”

@UnwalkableBris1 I have never seen the Qld govt report any figures for how many people picked “public transport” in their surveys. Someone with some time should RTI it.

It's hard to reconcile the official results from the Gympie Road tunnel consultation with sentiment expressed online including the comments that were visible on the platform at the time. Brisbane Times last week ran an editorial poll on the newest QLD government car sewer plan.
English
Our job is to cut transport pollution, make it easy to get around and make the city better, not to build the world’s most beautiful database. A tiny extra expense ($79m next FY vs $1.5bn in running costs) would fundamentally transform residents’ relationship with public transport

Most importantly, user data doesn’t show the most crucial thing: where services are missing causing people to drive. That’s the problem we need to tackle, and we already know how to do it: frequent, traffic-free services with good interconnections, covering major destinations.
English
Everyone telling us free PT is bad because we need user data: why? We’ve had go-card for 15y+ and during that time almost all services have stagnated. What’s missing has always been political will- the kind that’s built by a mass constituency of public transport users.
English
@pittmaniacal Nathan I respect your other work but there is no such thing as daily, weekly or annual passes in Brisbane.
Even if there was, how many low income people do you think are going to take the expensive gamble that they’ll keep taking PT five days per week?

Great news: Labor’s regime of administration is successfully rooting out sexism at the CFMEU!

Labor & Libs are going to pass the most draconian, anti-worker laws this country has seen. Whatever you think of the CFMEU this worry u deeply. Labor has set a precedent where parliament can seize control of a civil society group opposing the gov & suspend their basic rights🧵
