Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that was cancelled last minute had apparently already been sent to Global-TV which aired it in Canada. I suppose that risk in very short notice changes didn't occur to bari weiss as someone who knows nothing about her job

The fraud of this startup is one of many that just makes the “tech” industry a broken place to be. Tech has gone from “hopeful in the 90s/00s” to “giving you a real mental health problem by gaslighting you while reinventing the dumbest shit ever because of our broken systems of existence”… 😑
Another new a16z idea: giving letters of medical necessity to anybody so they can commit tax fraud
Between funding social media bot farms, crypto, and prediction markets, this company represents the new era where tech is mostly just for fraud

To note, BRT is great but it’s not even close to the highest capacity systems, but it knocks the socks off of automotive based single occupancy madness. 😑
Love that the three buses going by are carrying more people than what exist on the jam packed road next to them. 5 lanes in one. 😳
Today, Dec 18, marks the 25th anniversary of TransMilenio.
It turned a chaotic "system" of busetas, competing for passengers on the streets of Bogotá, a city of 8 million, into the largest bus rapid transit network in the world.
I asked a BRT pioneer, Dario Hídalgo, to write about the system...

At this vigil earlier, I actually watched a group of nearby residents come up and question the attendees on the specifics of the crash that killed Allie last night.
Were they hit in the bike lane? Did they hit the beg button? Were they wearing all black? Etc.
I could not actually believe it.

The person who was killed last night crossing Beacon Ave on a bike by a hit-and-run driver was named Allie. They were described as a "hard-core cyclist."
The vigil/protest is expected to take over Beacon and Stevens until midnight, if SPD lets that happen.

One thing about having a bunch of blog entries that I write, because I like to write, but in this cursed era of AI slop everywhere-it adds to the pressure to NOT blog or NOT write.
But fortunately I can toil away and entertain my own education and ignore that dehumanizing nature of the AI tooling.
