I am a petty man. Hell he probably just said it for the votes knowing what was coming. Either way it still makes me smile

    It’s kinda fucked that they can just lie like that, but it worked in favor of the masses in this case.

        The word “protects” seems almost intentionally misleading here. They are talking about changing zoning requirements to allow for higher density housing, instead of forcing single family home suburbs.

            Oh it is a good thing! Sutcliffe is just the embodiment of a suburbanite. He thinks riding bikes is just for leisure, and is all about SFH sprawl and the parking and roads it requires. But of course he doesn’t want those people to stop being subsidized by the dense productive neighbourhoods not in suburbia.
