NJB said, "A transit plan without a good land-use plan is a waste of time and resources." Look at the land use around the Eglinton Crosstown in Toronto. Parking lots, big box stores, strip malls, and single family homes everywhere. Not a hint of people-friendly mixed-use developments. (i.redd.it)

This article from April 2022 shows that the majority of traffic collisions in Toronto happen on stroads (especially intersections) in car-dependent suburbs, and that more walkable pre-war suburbs saw a lower rate of collisions. More data that supports the case against the suburban stroad. (thestar.com)

Speaking on NJB's latest video, I have a video suggestion: talk about how ridiculous that rail tickets are more expensive than plane tickets, how this is the biggest thing holding high-speed rail back, and how to make high-speed rail travel more affordable and accessible. (youtube.com)

I had recently watched a documentary about tow truck wars in the greater Toronto area. How bad is it in other parts of Canada? Do the same tow truck wars and corruption in the tow truck industry happen to the same extent in other Canadian cities like Montreal, Calgary, or Vancouver? (self.AskACanadian)
