I am the post's author, and I was referring to a specific building [1]. My understanding is that the owners bought it, unlisted, with the intent to develop it into something else. The City then suddenly made a case for designating it a

My understanding of what's happening here in Toronto: it is such a hassle to fight for any new construction, that the only projects that are "worth it" are highrises. This means that 4-5 storey residential condos/rentals

That intentional attitude around how the author wants to be perceived is definitely going to sound offputting to mamy people. Just wanted to comment to say: don't get carried away by that knee-jerk reaction. Sit with it for a while. Pe

You may hit a point where the software can't balance the needs of problem A and problem B users. Then, the solution is to split the product into 2 distinct ones. Or to exit the market for problem A in order to focus on delivering a sol

That's how cartels and collusion work. Youre doing someone else a favour - a favour for that very someone you should be competing against.

A non-urbanist counterpoint: here in Canada, the federal government has been making big strides towards $10/day daycares. No anti-car. Just extra payments to daycares. We live in an urban area (middle of Toronto), succedsfully raising

I find out interesting that the discussion on HN is narrowly focused on the technical/messaging accesss angle, rather than on the anticompetitive collusion. The collusion is the "big picture" root cause of so many downstream

I tend to agree. I'm working on a web scraping project that allows an ordinary person to spot misbehaviour by well-resourced corporations. Cloudflare is absolutely getting in the way, and helping the bigger guys escape accountability b

Going to England. Spending 2-3 months there, in a place that's well connected by rail and doing a lot of day trips to explore the place. Probably while working remote back home. Just a matter of slogging through until the kids are old
