Lost almost an hour fiddling with the #homeassistant companion #app settings trying to make the #location work (my location is always "unknown"). At the end I found, hidden in a forum answer ( https://community.home-assistant.io/t/device-tracker-and-geocoded-location-unknown/230569/18?u=penguin86 ) that is a limitation of the home assistant app published on #fdroid .
WTF why is the F-droid version more limited than the one on #googleplay ? The position funcionality shouldn't depend on google services or proprietary code, I made a couple of completely open source apps that requires location services and both work perfectly... Anyone can explain?
Home Assistant Community · Device_tracker and geocoded location 'Unknown'I was having the same issue on my Android phone and nothing on this topic helped me. Turns out the F-Droid release lacks several features like location tracking and Wear OS integration (hence the “minimal” on the version number). So I had to install the Google Play Store version for everything to work properly.

Transport for New Homes

Convenient town centre housing in every town

Every town in England could have a supply of new housing conveniently located for shops, restaurants and other amenities. With partners, Transport for New Homes is exploring how swathes of land given over to parking could be put to better use.

The availability of car parking in our towns is a major determinant of how people get around. Too much parking induces car trips and reduces bus patronage, threatening the viability of bus routes. Land given over to parking in town centres makes the urban environment hostile to walking and cycling.

Patterns of consumption and mobility are changing. Many local authorities are discovering their town centre car parks are underused and are failing to break even. This presents an opportunity to release some of this land for housing and reduce the need to build on greenfield far from towns and cities.

Town centre car park land is typically conveniently located near trip generators such as shops and restaurants. This presents the opportunity to replace car-centred urban design with convenient car free living. Housing built on these sites will contribute to reduced need for parking.

We will be looking for examples of local authorities who have converted underused parking to housing and sharing best practice. This project will promote relevant policies at local and national level.

Do you know of a town centre car park that has been successfully converted to housing? Do you have a car park near you that would be better as homes?
