This is interesting but also another case of let's have both, a bit of urban and bit of suburban. No one dare go all-in on the Big City.

AI is definitely in that "peak of inflated expectations" that tends to precede ye old "trough of disillusionment." Prime example is HBS article saying AI is already solving the housing crisis while also warning that bureaucracies need to be reformed, the community needs to be engaged, every city 1/2

Not to be too Pollyanna, but same themes from Dem winners in close House races in NY and out West: go everywhere, engage, show independence, talk peoples' lives -- prices, safety, freedom. Why is this ever portrayed as a mystery?

Amazon, Google, Ebay, not to mention X, all degrading online experience. Now @chasebank.bsky.social in bill pay. Used to be, fill in dollars on one grid. Now click payee name and wait. Fill in amount. Repeat for each payee.
Small thing, but stupidly small. Do the coders ever use the product?

I'm still not convinced there is any insight beyond saying: it's the economy, stupid (plus immigration to a signif extent).
This is actually an important part of the post-mortems! The vibes/reality gap didn’t appear magically and won’t go away by itself. Dems are doing well at winning highly educated and engaged voters (see: midterms), but they’re losing to Rs on reaching the culture with low-propensity voters (ie 2024).
I’ve created a permission structure for myself that allows me to ignore all election post-mortems that ignore the (mis)information environment and the gap between vibes and any measurable reality.

Notable, for sure. Although in fairness I'd point out that ridehail in NYC started this way but Uber and Lyft now provide lots of service in the far reaches of the city. That came over time and with their growth, for better or worse.
In San Francisco, Waymo trips are concentrated in the downtown core, where transit is most abundant.
Those claiming robotaxis will fix "transit deserts" are either deluding themselves or deliberately misleading.

My first ever way Waymo ride on a rainy day in San Francisco. At about a dollar per minute it's much too cheap. The city streets do not have room for everyone to travel this way. We will definitely need decongestion pricing.

This reminds me of the Greek word adunata, which means impossibilities. Often used for rhetorical effect but also very valuable for how to think about something. Think not just about what's possible (valuable as that is!) but also what is impossible, and this diagram captures that perfectly. #yimby

For everyone trying to scale #YIMBY heights, I'd recommend reading back-to-back two recent news articles, one showing all the "wrong" things to do when "working" with the community and the other showing that the name of the game is engaging, educating (and this goes both ways), early benefits, 1/3

I'd have to ride it to really know. But when bikes went onto the roadway on Bklyn Bridge instead up on the beautiful ped walkway, surprisingly to myself, I didn't miss the view at all. Sometimes I say, just get me there, safely and with least friction, aesthetics be dammed.
Is this frictionless?

Centre-running cycle track / pedestrian path where Hwy 7 crosses over Hwy 400. You don’t see this configuration very often. Has obvious issues, but I’m curious what people think … is it better than the usual approach of peds and cyclists waiting for a gap and then darting across the on/off ramps?
