@michaelgeller I think that you may mean that the overall built cost is lower due to the greater spread of land costs but it defintely costs more per unit constructed to go higher due to extra penalty incurred by seismic forces and more underground parking .

I say a low-rise building is up to 6 storeys. A midrise is 6 to 10. A highrise is 11 storeys+. But I like Michael Kluckners definition. If you don't recognize someone walking by on the street, you're in a highrise. ps. A 20 st concrete bldg is less expensive than 8 st to build

@michaelgeller Amen

What is happening? I just learned Theresa O'Donnell is no longer the GM overseeing the Vancouver Planning Department. Having particpated in several conversations regarding the hiring and departure of previous Planning Directors I urge the city not to hire someone from US! :-)

@michaelgeller No free parking. Pay at the meter or buy a resident permit. use the money gained to provide rain gardens and drop-off/ delivery zones. Out-of-town users would be held accountable for vehicle use.

For those who wonder why I belueve there needs to be some on-site parking if up to 6 homes can be built on single-family lots, this is what W28th looks like now with only single family houses, a few basement suites, and a couple of laneway houses.

@lewesarchitect Something really odd about this rendition of a geothermal plant. What's with the condensation clouds given off from the fan cooling towers? Geothermal doesn't require water cooled steam turbines to produce electricity.

@800granvillest From the rendition shown it feels overbearing and dominates the street instead of being subservient to the public space it should be framing.

800 Granville is proposing 400,000+ square feet of office space that will accommodate between 2,000 and 4,000 jobs. Local spending from office employees is estimated to be approximately $24.5 million annually. #GranvilleSt #800Granville #DowtownVan #Vancouver #DowtownVancouver

@McfarlaneGlenda Pathetic immature comment

Anyone else notice that fat Trudeau was back yesterday?

@wavesculptor @HarryHamishGray That's why it's called a traffic circle. It is a self-managing intersection. It's not a roundabout with a road between intersecting radial roads.

@HarryHamishGray If I'm honest, I'd say if there's other users around I'd use as designed; if no-one in sight what does it matter? The ideas is to avoid head-ons and mutual-uncertainty wobbles and ease traffic flow at high volume - we should be so lucky.

I love this!!

@aaronhoyland Guess the carbon tax is doing its job very well. I am not sure you can call it a stupid concept.

@tomorgel @PSavaryn @DonnieOK @GarySzatkowski You got that 100% correct

@PSavaryn @DonnieOK @GarySzatkowski You do realize: We ARE changing the climate and this is the result. We are messing this up. To be fair: this is the result of messing it up 30 years ago. Our own, way larger messing will impact 30 years from now. And it will be worse. Much. The key is stopping messing it up.

@lewesarchitect @theriverstrust @CanalRiverTrust @edwardleodavey @JRTransition Do I like? Let me count the ways. This is a very exciting project to follow. Great Tweet.

@JohnsonStBRDG @vicpdcanada One of us is wrong in reading the traffic light. Whomever is wrong is not dumb by definition. As you are tired out by reading comments by others I suggest you take time out from posting instead of belittling.

@Streetsmart67 @vicpdcanada I’m so tired of these dumb comments when I post this. The light wasn’t red for the cyclist. And there are THREE no turn on red signs for motorists. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume you don’t even live in Victoria. Thanks for your useless input.

70 days since this crash happened, & nothing but silence from @vicpdcanada. Was the driver ticketed? Have charges been recommended? Has anyone done anything other than slander the cyclist, & vow to rip up this intersection? It would be chill if the driver was held accountable.

@sascampaigns @lewesarchitect If the contract between the governing jurisdiction was clear the CEO of the water company should be accountable for breach of contract. If the law was fuzzy then the jurisdiction head needs to redraft the policy. And then perhaps fall on his/her sword for ineffectiveness.

@sascampaigns @lewesarchitect Just one of those sewerage outfalls was in the Brighton Lewes Biosphere. Whose head should be rolling?

💩 ALERT! 🚨🚨🚨 Our Safer Seas & Rivers Service is once again lighting up with warnings of sewage pollution around our coastlines. Why should we be put at risk of getting sick by simply being in the sea? It's time water companies clean up their act and #EndSewagePollution.

@OurGreenway @WeAreHub Wish I could join you. Did you plan a stop at J. Lawson Park because of the hill instead of going on to Dundarave? What’s the plan to extend the ride further west?

Don’t forget to register for the Second Annual Cargo Bike Ride. We will meet at the Shipyards and make our way to John Lawson Park, go through the Spirit Trail and back to finish it at the House of Funk Brewing. Sign up here: eventbrite.com/e/north-shore-…

@lewesarchitect @SouthernWater @sascampaigns @BritishAngling The governance and corporate ethics of these water companies is seriously out of sync with acceptable public expectations. To receive bonus payments for non compliance is pure grab and greed. The unacceptable feces smeared face of capitalism.

Deplorably grim @SouthernWater .Have you seen this latest @sascampaigns @BritishAngling? Sewage monitors faulty at seaside spots in England and Wales, data shows theguardian.com/environment/20…

@lewesarchitect @Autotelic_Arch Looks like a possible “right to roam” cause. Before the Romans colonized England ( is compensation en route?) people used the River ways to get between hamlets.

@Autotelic_Arch we protested against this last week on the premise that accessible riverside footpaths actually increase the value what are your thoughts? Public inquiry into permission to build hotel over 300-year-old footpath in Salford theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/a…

@BellMediaPR Bell Media go to great lengths to foster a faux community on TV. “ like Thanks for watching. See you tomorrow” Bunch of phoney nonsense by execs who don’t give a damn about people.

A statement from Bell Media.

@lewesarchitect In nature. Rock. In sand sub tidal zones placed quarried rock. Or concrete from demolition providing it wasn’t contaminated during use.

@Streetsmart67 What’s needed to do that?
