How destroying 10,000 homes at the top of the market causes rents to balloon all the way down the income ladder should feel intuitive and yet people resist the idea that building new homes at the top of the market can lower rents for middle class people even tho its the same process in reverse

China builds 30,000 miles of high-speed rail and the US builds 30,000 page reports about someday building high-speed rail.

I hate this urban tough-guy bullshit. America's dense walkable cities should be pleasant places where it's easy to raise a family without a car, not dilapidated shitholes where you prove how hardcore you are by ostentatiously tolerating inconvenience and disorder.

We live in a society. There are rules. Leash your dog unless you’re at the dog park, and don’t bring it into food service establishments.
your dog is not a child. it's not allowed at the playfield for a reason.
my kids have been bitten by unleashed dogs in seattle
our local playfield is not usable for sports due to the dog sh*t that wasn't picked up, and turf being eroded from dogs running.

Seattle residents ask: When did this become a dog park?
The number of complaints about off-leash dogs in city parks has surged, and anecdotal evidence points to a higher number. The conflict is pitched on both sides.

If I take a bus downtown and back it costs me $4.50.
If I take the 'L' downtown and back it costs me $5.00.
If I take Metra downtown and back it costs me *at least* $7.50.
If I drive downtown and back it costs me zero dollars.
Remind me again why we should feel bad about changing that last one?

Cities like to brag about how many kilometres (or miles) of bike paths they have, but the number doesn’t tell you anything about quality, connectivity, or usefulness.
They should instead be judged on actual bike volumes (like from bike counters) or overall cycling mode share.

We’re at Great Highway & Ulloa where a driver killed a 68-year-old pedestrian on Friday. Had this happened 2 months later it’d be a park and she’d be fine. There were no deaths from May 2020-Aug 2021 when it was car-free. Car-free & car-light spaces make cities safe for all.

They want the density of a city, but the car-centricity of a suburb. What they want is unattainable. That's why they are always so emotional and unreasonable around transportation in SF.

You really don’t need to like corporate landlords or developers, but if you’re going to reject successful strategies to end homelessness because some of them might make money then I don’t know what to do with you.
Also struck by the implicit framing of enthusiastic market rate landlord participation as evidence of the program’s sinister intent, instead of as an advantage when trying to achieve the primary goal of ending homelessness.

Hochul just *quietly* announced she’s blocking variable tolls on gridlock alert days — a policy that’s been in the plan since day one.
🚨 Call Hochul at 518-474-8390 and tell her to stop weakening congestion pricing!
New Yorkers deserve leaders, not pushovers.

This was The New York Post cover today. A gridlock alert surcharge is very sound policy and has been part of the congestion pricing plan since the beginning.
Guess what happened not 24 hours after this NY Post nonsense was published?

the obvious answer is to offer a service that doesn’t drive their customers into murderous fugue states but I bet this article is like “what if we provided every CEO with some kind of Pacific Rim-style mech suit”

Not calling other transit advocates names and keeping conversations friendly is *actually* really important. If people are afraid speaking up is going to get them peppered with insults then they don't engage and you get ossification and stagnation.

Driving is a dull chore most of the time and designing our society to require that people do it all the time was a mistake.
I enjoy driving when it's a mostly uncluttered road, as most people do. Used to be a lot of fun and a sense of freedom for me. But after visiting countries with fantastic train systems, I just wish Los Angeles's Metro trains had more lines and went more places. I like Metro in the right conditions.
