There's an amendment on the floor now from @mattcrowley.bsky.social; it suggests that affordable housing be included in the list of options that city council could consider, in exchange for taller building heights.

"50,000 jobs is a lot - we're going to need everybody," says Paz - including people from Peterborough who would like to work for Alto (he's responding to a question from @mattcrowley.bsky.social about whether anyone local will be hired).

"I believe we can compel the owner of a property" that is considering demolition to at least make plans to clean up (through an assessment - and then report back to council), says @mattcrowley.bsky.social

@mattcrowley.bsky.social has an amendment to move. Basically he wants to extract a promise of environmental assessment toward cleanup and mitigation of any contamination that may arise thanks to demolition.

TIL about Brandolini’s Law. “Brandolini's law is an internet adage coined in 2013 by Italian programmer Alberto Brandolini. It compares the considerable effort of debunking misinformation to the relative ease of creating it in the first place.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandol...
