  • Samu has been in Canada for one year and eight months, experiencing difficulty landing a job — especially without a permanent address.

    This is an issue we had with a tiny home pilot in Kingston. A permanent address is critical to being allowed to participate in society. The tiny homes did not provide a permanent address. So whole it solved some aspects of homelessness, it missed the mark on this one.

    I hope this Toronto project was able to get addresses.

  • You can haul a family of four around town on an e-bike (it's how I do the daycare run in the morning).

    Intercity transit SHOULD be easily accessible by train, but we decided we don't do that here.

    People also choose cars because of marketing, the built environment which provides them few protected spaces, societal pressures, and decision inertia.

    Many multicar families could easily swap a car put with an e-bike.

    And the fact that cars are the only viable way to get to grannies 2 cities over, it a terrible indicator that our infrastructure prioritizes cars/car infrastructure/car related profits, through a massive pay wallet that somewhere around 20% of the population over 16 can't even use no matter how much cash they have, and obviously the population under 16 can't use at all.

  • "Electric vehicle incentives"

    Only cars.

    E-bike/micromobility incentives would go WAY farther than anything for cars. The $5000 incentive for one car could outright buy 2-3 ebikes what would have a bigger impact. Alternatively, $500 per e-bike would be ~25% the cost and be able to subsidize 10 times the number of vehicles.

  • Bike busses sadly need to exist BECAUSE safety precautions are not in place.

    Children should be walk to walk or bike to school safely, without worring about being struck by a car driver.

    Reforming street design so that children who live inside of the bus range are able to walk or roll to school safetly removes the requirement for bike busses. That children or their parents should be worried at all on residential streets is a huge failing of our transportation network.
