My parents 100yr old house is fully plumbed for gas (water, furnace, stove, fireplace), and a conversion would be financial insanity. They WANT to build a multiplex to have 4 units so they can stay on the main floor + rent out 3 to pay their retirement, but THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO.

Reverse tax or massive credits for electric conversions.

Voting preferences do tend to scale with education (and thus employability) don’t they… Curious indeed.

Um, yeah, thats what happens when you lay off entire planning departments; up-jurisdict the decisions, and make them political footballs. Each team is going to go as far in their direction as they can and nothing will ever get done. We need a robust infrastructure commission with a healthy budget and mandate, free from political influence.
