Most recents (16)

When I (would) describe what most elected officials do for #Homeless people, I (would) say that they do as much as their constituents will let them get away with. Today won't be the case with @CMWhitburnD3 at the behest of @MayorToddGloria
today's discussion about amendments to the @CityofSanDiego's Municipal Code Related to Unauthorized Camping or Encampments on Public Property should be condemned
Whitburn is following the lead of his #NIMBY constituents when they won't allow any small measure to relieve the suffering of their #neighbors

[🧵] Il presidente della regione #Sicilia, Renato #Schifani, ha annunciato una #moratoria sul #fotovoltaico. La Sicilia, dice, è esportatore netto di energia. Ha ragione? Ha torto? Ha senso sospendere le autorizzazioni? Andiamo con ordine
ilmessaggero.it/politica/fotov… 1/n
Schifani pone tre problemi: 1) le rinnovabili hanno un forte impatto paesaggistico, specie nelle regioni caratterizzate da un elevato volume di richieste di connessione; 2) creano poca occupazione (e poco qualificata) sul territorio; 3) non producono benefici per i cittadini 2/n
La logica di Schifani è sbagliata ma ci sono due ma. Il primo è questo: il suo approccio è involontariamente legittimato dagli stessi sostenitori delle rinnovabili. Il secondo: c’è un punto specifico su cui Schifani ha ragione a sua insaputa 3/n

"Le peuple est contre la réforme des #retraites ."

🚨C'est un cas problématique pour la démocratie :
➡️ Problème de fond : excès de dépenses et déficits publics ; la moitié des Français reconnaissent le problème (cf. élections de 2022).
➡️ Quand une solution est proposée...
1/
...sur un point concret (raboter les #retraites , la santé ou un autre budget), la plupart des gens sont contre car ils peuvent être touchés.

❌C'est le même problème que celui de l'usine dont la collectivité a besoin mais que nul ne veut près de chez lui (syndrome #NIMBY ).
2/
🚨 Cela met en cause la capacité d'une démocratie à régler de grands problèmes.

👉 Mais ce n'est pas insoluble.

➡️ Il faut que les présidents / gouvernements aient des mandats assez longs (5 ans est le minimum) et qu'ils aient le droit d'être momentanément impopulaires.

PLANNING “OBJECTIONS”; a thread:

Under Art. 29 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, anyone can make a SUBMISSION or OBSERVATION on planning applications.

This is a feature of living in a democracy although some might paint it as a pesky glitch in the system.

1/
These submissions are called “Third Party Observations” and can be submitted within 5 weeks beginning on the date of receipt of the planning application stating the name & address of the person making the observation / submission + a fee of €20.

2/
❗️The period for Local Authorities to make decisions on applications doesn’t change if there’s zero or 10,000 “Third Party Observations”.

#philosphie
Ce matin au détour d'un échange mon interlocuteur m'a posté cette vidéo du @Le_Precepteur
Le titre m'interpellant Le #stoïcisme : vaincre nos émotions j'ai écouté en accéléré. Si les cours de philo commencent à dater et que je considère

que la philosophie ne doit pas être un placage arbitraire de notions qui peuvent être mal digéré j'aurais en tout cas découvert qu'il existe un regain d'intérêt pour cette éthique (#stoïcismemoderne).
Mais comme je mets souvent en exergue la nécessaire acceptation au sens

étymologique, qui passe justement par un accueil des émotions pour ne plus en être esclave, le terme de vaincre me semble innoportun (donc a piqué ma curiosité).

#abondance #Insouciance #NIMBY
J'ai énormément de mal avec ce schéma, si réducteur.
Oui certains de nous souffrent déjà et vont donc souffrir encore plus du changement climatique (qu'ils s'agissent des SDF vivants dans des rues trop minérales devenues irrespirables ou des
1/n
plus modestes ds leur passoires énergétiques versus ceux qui sont confortables grâce à la clim et tant pis si cette dernière contribue à réchauffer l'air extérieur en été).
Oui certains n'auront pas le mal de régler leur chauffage à 19 car c'est déjà parfois pour eux un luxe.
2/n
Et que l'humidité et le froid de leurs logements insalubres l'hiver n'auront rien à envier aux records de températures estivaux.
L'abondance et l'insouciance ne visent absolument pas à dire que tout est rose en 🇫🇷, du moins dans ce que moi je ressens en entendant ses mots.

DEM SCHWEINEZYKLUS GEHT DAS FUTTER AUS

Teil 2: Was machen jetzt die Mieten?

#Thread

tl;dr
Miete steigen, wo #Knappheit zulegt. Wird #Zahlungsfähigkeit überschritten, hilft #Transfer oder sinkt #Wohnqualität. Wo Miete nicht ausreichend steigt, drückt #Zinsanstieg Kaufpreis.

/1
1. Hintergrund

Zusammen mit womöglich explodierenden #Heizkosten könnte der abgewürgte #Bauzyklus zu erheblichen sozialen Konflikten führen.

Mieten bleiben v.a. dadurch bezahlbar und Mietbelastungen tragbar, weil die nominalen #Einkommen im Laufe des Zyklus ansteigen.

/2
2. Aktuelle Beobachtung: Trendumbruch bei Mieten

In Q2 zeigen sich zwei Trendbrüche: inserierte Preise für ETW steigen im Durchschnitt weniger als zuvor, inserierte Mieten stärker. Kein Trendbruch bei Eigenheimen (vgl. Abbildung).

- In a travel advisory published on its website, the State Department said that there were reports Russia is planning significant military action against Ukraine.

Long🧵on the provisions of #BuildBackBetter on all things #electricity & #grid. The act starts w/ ~3bn in loans for electric co-ops @NRECANews, incl. projects w/ #batteries. Co-ops have been very involved in @ENERGY-funded R&D & are now enabled to bring results to practice! 1/
It is funny that in my postdoc work @CMU_ECE & @NRECANews w/ @eeregov funding, we actually studied the added value of #battery to #photovoltaics for residential customers' energy cost savings: energy.gov/eere/solar/pro… & [1],[3], [4] here panay1ot1s.com/publications-s… 2/
Another ~10bn to co-ops for loans until 2031 to improve #resilience & #reliability w/ investments in #renewables & #transmission . Co-ops 'own' transmission lines & this money can motivate adjacent upgrades. Also critical that #renewables & #transmission appear together here! 3/

Zoning rules have a much larger impact than most people realize. Much of this is driven at the local level, meaning that your local elections and community meetings are incredibly important, directly shaping the world you live in. nytimes.com/2021/08/27/opi…
Furthermore, as this article points out, those local decisions directly impact whether you can even afford to live in that world. #NIMBYism is an incredibly expensive luxury we as a society cannot afford.
But to those #NIMBY people I say this: what happens when the people you depend upon for basic services can no longer afford to live anywhere near where you expect to receive those same services? Do you expect them to drive an hour each way? Two? Where does it stop?

People tell researchers that a #windfarm does not cause health hazards, but sell their houses near them and move out.
Turbines? What turbines? Oh, THOSE turbines, no, we hardly notice them. Would you like to make an offer?

“It’s as if the die had been cast...& it doesnt matter what kind of situation our community is in...profit over people”-

1. A thread on #NIMBY (not in my backyard) & change in cities:

First off, although it might feel that way, NIMBY isn’t unique to your city, & it’s definitely (probably) not worse in your city than anywhere else. It’s also not surprising, since it’s based on human nature.
2. #NIMBY isn’t surprising when you understand that it’s human nature, it’s normal, to fear change & to weigh potential loss more heavily than potential gain. So NIMBY should be expected because it can’t be avoided. It’s hard everywhere, & there’s no place that it doesn’t exist.
3. But #NIMBY needn’t be debilitating when it comes to smart, positive & badly-needed change in your city. Cities that are skillful & self-confident listeners can learn a lot from NIMBY fears, & that learning can help make decisions better & outcomes more successful.

1/ Some more details on yesterday's #HousingNow Proposal by Mayor @JohnTory in #TOPoli.

Here's a Public-Map of the 11 Sites / 13 Addresses with Links to @_CreateTO - where available... #OpenData #OpenGov

3/ ...but in #TOPoli - the Deafult setting is "NO" - and Councillors have fought efforts to reduce CHEAP parking-spots at #TTC stations in the Past...
