“The cost of upgrading the #dikes that protect the low-lying #IsthmusOfChignecto and prevent Nova Scotia from becoming a defacto island: $300 million. The bill for #Richmond—the fourth-largest city in metropolitan #Vancouver, which includes the #VancouverInternationalAirport—to raise its own dikes against rising seas: $1 billion.”

The moment I saw #Venus dancing and laughing at the #moon, my jaw dropped and by instinct I turned and grabbed my phone. Not gonna lie, it took a few tries.

I’m in #Vancouver, getting around everywhere by transit. Here’s the Canada Line to #Richmond, crossing the Fraser River. The network here, whether it’s buses or rail, is a model for other cities in Canada and the US. More on #YVR in Friday’s #Straphanger substack.

#Richmond repeals minimum #parking requirements. Now it's time for more cities in #Virginia to follow suit, and prioritize housing for people, not cars.

I tried to ease into the question like "so the lawsuit is against the owner... and isn't the city 2/3rds owner?"

And he sighed audibly, knowing exactly what I meant, because he's the lawyer

Very great

So anyway it's not that we're using this lawsuit to distract from the city's culpability and to go after a guy we know won't pay, it's that accountability for the government is a lot harder and a longer time coming

Although it's still burning and releasing fumes, the smoke is no longer visible within 1 mile of the site, which is lulling residents in to a false sense of security

It's the last day to take advantage of free tax services at the library (in the shelter and place zone), so they took precautions to stay open: they're running the HVAC on re-circulation mode, not drawing in air from outside

This compromise trades the risk of asbestos and plastic fumes for the risk of covid
