Winter is just around the corner ↩️ ❄️ With snowy season comes snow clearance policies that aren't gender-neutral. Women are more likely to walk than men and pedestrians are injured three times more often than motorists in icy conditions. Learn more 👇 womeninurbanism.ca/words/sno…

In the alternative universe category, Penticton BC city councillors have decided not to talk about safe separated bike lanes for three years because they think there are other things that are more important. You just can’t make this stuff up. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

This was hard but rewarding to produce. Gentrification is a complicated issue but CLTs are so far one of the only 'solutions' I've seen that offer a serious response. It's crazy challenging to maintain renter communities in a real-estate market, but we can still do smthing abt it
NEW VIDEO: Could This be a Solution to Gentrification? youtube.com/watch?v=h46WVCr4… Thanks so much to @KMCLandTrust and @TapestryCapital for partnering with me for this video!
