Yes! I had something in my mind on zoning but am very willing to admit that I don't know enough about that to write something coherent.

We will revamp and modernize our zoning regime to allow for greater housing density everywhere. We will adopt a "no more sprawl" policy. We will commit to a percentage of budget to rebuild our tree canopy. We will learn from cities that are environmental leaders (@cityofselkirk)

If there's one thing I do know, it's that I have many blind spots. And so I would like to enlist the help of Twitter friends who see the world from different eyes, including: @danremps @MeghanJMJW @northendmc @pattyboge @DaveSawatsky @KaraBoohoo @Beardune @janessa_allison

People living in unhealthy and damaging ways will have to go out of their way to do so, against the flow. If a system got us into this mess, we need to change the system to get out.

Many of the problems we face today are systemic, and will not be solved by charity or goodwill. When it comes down to it, we want to properly account for negative externalities and align incentives as well as possible.

We'll be the first province to implement a negative income tax (universal basic income), ensuring everyone is well over the poverty line.

We'll take @pegcitycarcoop and expand it to the entire city. If a family/unit feels they need to buy a second or third car, we've failed -- there should be enough collectively owned cars that no one feels that need.

We'll get rid of parking requirements, and incentivize businesses and housing on public transportation lines. We'll reclaim parking lots for housing, greenspace, and open markets.

We'll immediately reverse the decisions of the 1980s and 1990s to neoliberalize housing, and build a robust and plentiful social housing supply. This will include congregate, family, 2SLGBTQ+, newcomer, etc. We'll refurbish the MB Housing units that are currently sitting empty.

We'll build a safe consumption site, probably more than one, with access to detox and treatment. If it takes longer than 48 hours to get into treatment, we've failed.

We'll shift drastically to heat pumps with electric backups (where applicable), and geothermal (where applicable). New buildings and homes will not be allowed to have gas lines run to them.

We'll build a robust network of active transportation routes through the city, so that people can get the places they need to go without the risk of being hit by cars.

This will go to fund road maintenance and refurbishment (turning many streets into car-free people-first zones) and a robust and reliable public transportation. We will also offer some of the best incentives for non-vehicle electric mobility.

This means that all transportation should be right-sized and right-abilitied for the task. In order to decrease the overuse of overly large vehicles, we'll have a congestion tax levied on a zone-by-zone basis, with vehicle weight an exponential factor.
