I'd describe my interests as eclectic if it didn't make me seem like a tool. But if the shoe fits... Urbansim, politics, history, cycling, football, and many other unhealthy obsessions. Sydney YIMBY member: Build more homes! Sydney, NSW, Australia
And across the street, another one that's already been so badly smashed up they've removed the protection. Well, I'm convinced, obviously the solution is banning bikes...
Spotted on Pitt St. One of Sydney's new bike parking spaces and someone's already smashed into it. Tell me again why it's bikes that are the problem in cities?
Spotted in a submission objecting to a 16 storey building in Haymarket, Sydney. One of the densest places in Australia, and we're supposed to worry about "increased foot traffic and anonymous movement"?
It's past time that the state government stepped in and prevented councils from weaponising heritage controls against housing. Not just preventing overreach like here in Willoughby. Across Sydney, but inner city councils ate the worst offenders by far
How about that - build cycling infrastructure, and bike riders show up to use it... And every trip by bike takes pressure off other infrastructure demands
Share bikes in Sydney going absolutely gangbusters! Shows what building a proper bike network can do. 16,000 rides a day in December 2025!
A related issue was recently discussed at a Woollahra council meeting in Sydney. Potential changes to priorities could result in more colours being available to Paddington residents!
Yep. Someone's going to need to remind me again why a street like this one in Lyon is so awful (other than all the car parking...)
Bike parking at Geneva Cornavin on a Sunday morning. Bikes are undeniably the best form of last mile transport. Not shown is all the other informal parking of bikes nearby. Australian cities really need to do more to incentivise this way of getting to and from train stations
You're not allowed to describe a suburb of a major city as a "village"
North Sydney Council tonight decided to seek advice on an interim heritage other to prevent a couple of terraces being replaced with much needed apartments in Neutral Bay - against the advice of their own staff. 🔥💶🔥💶🔥
