The Duality of Xan

A thousand years ago, parts of the world were run by small kings, sitting in small fortresses on small hills, using small armies to rule their small kingdoms. They couldn’t imagine a world run any differently.

I very much hope that a thousand years into the future, the idea of a world run by corporations and financial incentives appears similarly quaint and shortsighted.

Ford’s health plan is to drive you to get surgery from private clinics including American ones. I saw this ad on the subway this morning. Underfunding public healthcare, beating up nurses and healthcare workers. It all has a result. Pay big or suffer.

"Toronto's waterfront is NOT FOR SALE.
As Mayor, I will stop the province’s plan for a private spa by withholding the 16 acres of City-owned property at Ontario Place that is needed by the Ford government to proceed with its plans for the site." -Josh Matlow -Toronto mayoral candidate

Basically, Doug Ford is building a five-storey underground parking garage and a giant concrete battleship on the #Toronto waterfront.

"This is what the Therme Spa ads don’t want you to see; their #fortress on the lake, blocking views of the #OntarioPlace Cinesphere and Pods, the clearcutting of Michael Hough’s landscape architecture along with 850 trees." @onplace4all

“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism
