"Progress"

Yes progress! Using the quotes there make it seem like you disagree that this is progress, which I will choose to believe you didn't mean it like that.

I have seen a few pictures like this from around the world. It's pretty encouraging

Imagine how bad it would be without the tube and busses! All these people trying to drive in London? Just thinking about it I shudder and I've never even seen London.

WFH FTW!

Some of my most productive days since I started WFH were when I took a 30 minutes nap in the afternoon. Taking a nap, a shower, then sitting down with a light snack to finish doing a thing is legit optimal.

Yes, please!

We laugh, but there are a lot of plans across North America to revert the overuse of car infrastructure. Even Quebec small town, who love saying they're the opposite of Montreal, are desifying and giving up on doubling lanes on roads, adding bike paths and attempting to work with what they have to reduce solo car usage.

I think it's sweet

Reminds me of "it doesn't matter" in my second language English class. We all said together as a class "it's not grave" when asked what we thought "ce n'est pas grave" was in English.

If he does his job well, he can get the money. Deal?

This means being responsive and responsible when issues happen with water, heating, electricity, mold and vermin. It means making sure that if they repaint an appartment, they don't just set a bomb in there to splatter the place. Actually remove the cupboard doors before painting. It means not painting over electric outlets.

It also means not cutting the water for three days a month, replacing the toilet when it breaks, not a week later. It means maintenance on the building's laundry room. Clean shared spaces. Secure entrance that actually locks, and actually unlocks.

Those are only some of the issues I had when renting. It is demeaning to be treated like that, and then be asked for money.
