This happened! And I am absolutely thrilled. I wish I could go back in time and show this post to the bumbling PhD student who started this work 12 years ago.

Vienna is doing a better job than most cities with their social housing, but it isn't perfect and it is finite in terms space. As I discussed in my book #Urban Displacements, Vienna housing model has also been based on racial, gendered and class exclusions.

A real model for housing In the Austrian capital Vienna, around 60 per cent of its nearly 2 million residents live in some form of social housing, where they have access to low rents, secure tenure and quality accommodation. google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net…

Excellent piece on why Ontario (indeed, all) universities need to divest from fossil fuel companies NOW nationalobserver.com/2023/05… @DivestCanada @FacultyDivest @KylaTienhaara @MET_climate @FossilFreeYale

Now’s the time for Ontario’s University Pension Plan to lead the way on phasing out fossil fuels

It can leverage its membership in the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance and stop investing in the oil and gas companies that are putting our pensions and our climate at risk.

Yup, cutting down 850 trees at Ontario Place, all vegetation, disrupting 170 species of animals, at a taxpayer cost of $650 million, or $60 per Ontarian, just so that we can say goodbye to our public space and pay for a private spa. That about sums it up! #topoli #onpoli
