@jonobri Nice thread. Unfortunately, too many urban planning professors are unashamed Marxists, inevitably impacting the thinking of the graduates they indoctrinate with disastrous consequences for housing supply and affordability.

🏙️ Transport policies: the hidden blocker to housing supply we rarely discuss In my new blog, I explain how parking rules and traffic assessments are strangling housing development—especially where we need it most The fix? Smart reforms that benefit both housing AND transport
🏗️🚦 When Transport Rules Block Housing 🏡 Transport barriers often constrain housing supply—parking requirements, road upgrades, infrastructure payments. My blog this week will discuss how to overcome these barriers. What transport imposed obstacles have you seen?
🚨 Surviving the Transport Subsidy Armageddon🚨 As defence budgets rise, transport subsidies will shrink. How can transport systems survive the coming subsidy crisis? 📍 Learn from London's model & future-proof your transport system. 📝 Read more in my blog 👇

This is what an EU atomic bomb could look like (translation): - Contains no small parts that could be swallowed by children under 3 years old. - The atomic bomb is made entirely from recycled materials. - At the impact site, an automated sign appears, reading: "This crater was funded by the EU Atomic Bomb Fund." - Can only be detonated if all member states turn a key simultaneously. - The expiration date must be clearly printed and legible. - The lid cannot be completely removed. - CO2-neutral propulsion according to EU law 17/A. - Costs about eight times as much as a regular atomic bomb to manufacture. - Maximum curvature according to EU standards. - Components assembled according to strict quotas from all member states. - Must be connected via USB-C to an aircraft or launch ramp. - Hungary only receives a dummy version for security reasons.

The only people getting rich in Britain are the lawyers that hold up these projects. £1.2 BILLION before ANYTHING HAS BEEN BUILT. It's illegal to build in Britain. It is beyond parody. Time to end this madness. Join LFG and PUSH for change 👇

@SHamiltonian Does Qantas think customers will not notice when their planes are cancelled more often due to technical faults from their age?
Australia's public schools are not struggling because they have a concentration of poorer students. One of the UK's top schools @Miss_Snuffy Michaela School, has a concentration of poorer students. Too many of Australia's schools are struggling because they make excuses.

On November 7th, I unwittingly spread misinformation about @HS2ltd. I incorrectly said that HS2's Bat Tunnel will cost £100m to build. This was not true. I unreservedly apologise for any confusion. Please retweet.
