Probably thinking of Southlands, the technically-zoned-for-agricultural-use mansion district which includes Vancouver's only part of the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve.

The problem with this is that by design, it's a nice place for very few people . Zoning central land for houses on massive lots is effectively a cap on how many people can live there; it's an incredibly regressive policy that ben

Yes, and it's awful; it's essentially mansion zoning (each lot is required to be massive). The history of Shaughnessy land use is kinda interesting; it was designed to be an ultra-exclusive enclave from the start, and the province

There are a lot of potential answers to that, but perhaps the shortest one is that cars drive much faster on a highway.

Yeah, Vancouver's zoning code has pretty awful origins; I wrote about it here a while back: https://www.abundanthousingvancouver.com/vancouvers_first_zo... In a nutshell, it was intentionally designed to keep apartment

I've read way too many Vancouver zoning bylaws and I can tell you that they're generally not very readable and not very interesting :) But if you do want to read them, here you go: https://vancouver.ca/home-propert

Depends on the view cone, I think. I agree that view cones aren't public enemy number 1, but some really are bad. I live near one in East Van that is utterly useless; it's defined as starting in the middle of a road, and the view

North American zoning shares a lot of the same origins in both Canada and the USA; Vancouver's first zoning code was drafted by Harland Bartholomew who did a lot of American cities' first zoning codes.

It's definitely, definitely not going to happen soon. The Vancouver Plan needs to be approved, then an Official Development Plan, then neighbourhood plans, then actual rezonings. Expect 10+ years, if it happens at all; Vancouver ha

Yeah, sometimes I wish MS would be a little more aggressive about killing off products. There are a few developer technologies that are in an awkward no man’s land: just barely supported without much of a future, but MS won’t say that so

ps is a shell builtin in Nu (and you can check that with `which ps`). Going from Nu to raw text is currently a little awkward. `str collect (char nl)` will take a Nu list of strings and convert it to raw text with line breaks. I suspect we&

Hi, the `find` command is probably easiest: https://www.nushell.sh/book/commands/find.html ps | find k9 That will search through every column in the `ps` results. If you want to look through just the name column:

No. Plugins are just executables that communicate with Nu over stdin/stdout using JSON or Cap’n Proto; they can be written in any language.

I think it's pretty good. It's easy to pipe text-speaking tools into Nu pipelines, and there's a built-in `lines` command that will split line-break-delimited text into a list of strings. From there you can use lots of tools

This is a massive release; congratulations to the Nu team for replacing the engine, line editor, and more. Nu isn't quite 1.0 yet but this is the first release I can see using as my daily driver. There are a few rough edges and things
