@mapologies nice waves on the water layer
finally decided to try one of these ridgeplots. qgis + r + affinity designer. and if anyone ever needs an 8gb composite DTM/geotiff of UK and Ireland... let me know.
It's been a long time since I did any mapping for fun. I spent a bit of time this weekend with elevation data in QGIS and did a couple renders of the North Saskatchewan river through Edmonton. might eventually import into Affinity for more/other design options and less tedious line-to-polygon adaptation...

@tubbdoose of all the people I knew when I was at the gauntlet in calgary, I can think of three who have been in actual journalism jobs long term...

A colleague and I did a bit of analysis on council tax:
"The local government funding crisis is an inequality issue. [...]
Our analysis shows that relying on increasing council tax to balance budgets risks increasing inequality between more deprived urban authorities and the rest of the country. [...]
England’s major towns and cities typically have higher levels of uncollected council tax and there is a strong correlation between council tax collection rates and income deprivation rates."
