Would love to see developers build suburbia like this.

@FountainheadFm @UrbanCourtyard @vbouchouev Or an island, like Manhattan.

@UrbanCourtyard @vbouchouev I have long advocated that car haters have their own separate country.

A possibly substantial share of the young adult population may be postponing having kids because they cannot stomach moving to a drive-everywhere suburb and doing Costco hauls This is why society would benefit enormously from building more family-compatible housing in walkable city neighborhoods, where many adults prefer to be @jishbia if you build it they will come

@thiojoe I use Control Panel chromewebstore.google.com/detail/control…

I have a 4K monitor and still the YouTube homepage only shows THREE long form videos 😒 I swear YouTube wants to kill long form.

Gave the profile a proper refresh: • Banner now reps the Mississauga skyline • Website works as a full link hub • Bio actually reflects where things are at now

@globizen Very nice. Now let’s see the prices 👀

🇨🇦 The Coffee is now open in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood! Check it out at 2720 Dundas St W.

@OrdinaryInds My bad, my filters muted it.

@danielsultan You had to scroll past this to comment lol. x.com/ordinaryinds/s…?

Why did you use generative AI instead of...idk...taking a fucking photo of the house?

@ahmednadar This is amazing. AI doing what it’s best at: killing busywork. I used to use ChatGPT’s agent mode to fill out 311 reports, and even that felt like a huge upgrade.

#Toronto I reported a pothole to the City of Toronto two ways, side by side. Left: solveto.ca. 3 taps. 30 seconds. AI analyzes the photo, writes the report, emails 311 AND my councillor. Right: toronto.ca. 5 pages. 20+ fields. They ask ME to estimate pothole size!! This is 2026. Why are citizens doing data entry? @cityoftoronto @TorontoCouncil @toronto

@Urban_Toronto For a GO station, we need a lot more density. Hopefully, they can increase the size of the towers.

A transit oriented community is being envisioned for the upcoming Woodbine GO Station. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/03/t…

@BetterDrivingUS @RVA_DOT Think of it this way: if you want less traffic and less cars in the road slowing you down, a bus lane will carry orders of magnitude more people than even the most packed cars.

@RVA_DOT "Express sidewalks" is an incredibly dumb concept.

Public transit will be a major part of Richmond's pedestrian safety master plan. When it's frequent and convenient, the bus is an express sidewalk. It's part of a walking trip. 1/3

@_austin_cassidy @americanhousing I use Gemini Pro, and the model is called Nano Banana Pro. It’s easily the best image-gen out there right now. I’d recommend a Gemini or T3Chat subscription if you want better results, because Grok is still well behind.

@danielsultan @americanhousing These are amazing. Which AI did you use for this? I tried Grok but my rendering isn't nearly as good as these ones

Soon, the American West will bloom with walkable mixed-use neighborhoods full of young American families. This is the American Dream. This is our Manifest Destiny.

@bankertobuilder I can see the appeal but there's no harm in using colors other than black and white. I'm aware this is satire though

A modern twist on an old classic We turned this 1960s conversation pit living room into a modern beauty What do you think?

@citymississauga That’s encouraging, but is there a timeline for Mississauga to adopt Edmonton-style housing reform? Their approach to permitting more missing middle housing has meaningfully eased the housing crunch there. youtube.com/watch?v=LoblQB…

We get a lot of questions about development applications. A lot. ​ That’s one of the reasons we created our online Guide to City Planning & Development. It makes it easier to understand: ​ - What landowners can do. ​ - What the City must do. ​ - How you can have your say. ​ Want to walk through the process? bit.ly/3F5BVVP

@americanhousing Great to hear. Seems if you're using that much R60, then it should be good even for Canadian winters.

@danielsultan 14 inches of wall R-60. Structurally independent.

We assembled the structure of our prototype in 14 days. It'll be down to single digits within a year.

@theQuietMerican @americanhousing Glad to hear that.

@danielsultan @americanhousing If they are built up to code, which they are, it isn’t a problem.

@SustainableTall Love the prefab idea, but the design could use a couple tweaks.

A prefabricated foundation built in *one day* The rest of the structure built in just six weeks. Total construction cost $685,000 ($118/sqft). Get prefab working at scale, and it could transform affordable housing!

@MattWalshBlog Yeah, maybe the best approach is to let kids move out at 18 if they really want to, but not stigmatize staying home either. The first few adult years could be a great opportunity to save up for a car or a down payment on a house.

I used to be entirely in the camp that said you should kick your kids out at 18 and force them to live independently and make their own way in the world. I don’t feel that way at all anymore. I want all my kids to live with us until they get married. Even after they’re married, if they want to live on our property, or close by, my wife and I would love that. The important thing is to teach your kids responsibility, which we’re doing. They need to contribute and help around the house, which all of our kids do from a very young age. Provided you aren’t raising ungrateful useless moochers, why kick them out? Why drive them away from your family home? I don’t see the point in it anymore. I actually like my kids and like being around them. Maybe they’ll all end up scattered to the wind. But I’d prefer to keep the family together. Why wouldn’t I?

@ephraimduncan Can't wait for you to upload it to HomeBrew.

I built a native Mac download manager for myself and I decided to make it open source. - It's free to use - comes with a Chrome, Firefox and Safari Extensions - 6mb file size Check it out on GitHub: github.com/ephraimduncan/…
