#highDensity

"In #Ottawa, for example, #suburban expansion costs $465 per person per year. By contrast, Ottawa found that #highdensity #infill development earned that city $606 per person per year.

"In #Edmonton, consultant research showed that six new neighbourhoods, even with a higher density than traditional #sprawl, in the... city’s southeast would create a $400-million liability (in 2014 dollars) by 2050.

"... taxpayers–not developers–pick up this liability. #yeg #abpoli

Do you use #neuropixels or #highdensity probes? Are your recordings filling up your hard drives?
We got you covered!

In the first preprint from
@AllenInstitute
for Neural Dynamics, we looked at ways to reduce the footprint of #ephys data.

@GordonOfSeattle #HighDensity SUCKS but that does not mean it isn't necessary. It's the hole we have backed ourselves into by not addressing #ClimateChange decades earlier. https://youtu.be/wtOR6HoFtwU

If it takes 5 people to build a livable 3-bed home/#townhouse (not talking about #highrise human-filing-cabinets here), then for every 5 new livable homes you help to build you can feel not completely evil for having a third child?

But how about just not adding to #populationGrowth, please.

80 Million new people pee year on this planet is starting to be felt — don't you think?

Funny how #townPlanners in #Australia keep pointing to #Europe as an example of #highDensity done right, and so they work on plans for 10-storey #highrise buildings. But many of these so-called "#planners" and #policyMakers are ***from*** Europe (#China to a lesser extent).

If #gentrification is so great, why didn't they stay there?
