I have huge admiration for everything Elon Musk has done and is trying to do. I'm not sure if it will all *work* (and he maybe shouldn't be on Twitter), but that doesn't detract from the achievement.

At 97, #Toronto has the largest # of cranes in North America. >2x as Chicago, 4x as San Francisco, and 5x as New York City. Out of 97, 83 are pure residential, only 2 mixed use. Risk: reduced neighbourhood resilience, transportation issues. https://t.co/5cHhumeiR9

With timelines slipping, Silicon Valley types say driverless cars would be ready sooner if pedestrians would "behave less erratically" -- a suggestion that has, uh, not been received kindly.

The architect of 2018 is very different to the architect of 1958. The #architecture profession is transforming, and our educational structures should address & support that https://t.co/x61rLx4FAD #AEC #ArchEdu

The future's not about driverless cars.
It's about carless drivers: in other words, cyclists, pedestrians, #straphangers.

A dissenting view on localism. My take following Jane Jacobs is simply that the nation-state is an anachronism & increasingly captured by the most reactionary elements of society. Localism creates greater opportunity for inclusion and progressive politics. https://t.co/lapwl5ZF2O

Jackbooted Copenhagen socialism, forcing everyone to ride those minimalist bicycles with exquisitely-stitched leather handlebar covers. The brutality stays with you. The tyranny of tasty snacks.

Scientists have known burning coal warms the climate for a long time. This 1912 headline proves it. https://t.co/KCLMdmKHsF via @thinkprogress
