After the law went into effect, we find that it produced a major boost in spending on streets/highway-related investment, adjusted for inflation.
But spending on non-streets/highway investment, like rail transit, flatlined. States & cities *reduced* spending on rail transit after the law passed.

I really thought Boring Company was gonna try to do business in Memphis (maybe they still are) , because:
1. We already have a tunnel from the airport
2. Saw one of their employees on bumble one time, meaning they are physically here.
3. XAI is here already
Nashville is a bigger market tho ig

I have exhausted my Memphis dating options and now my strategy is to slide into the DMs of guys who live in Chicago and Nashville and convince them to move here.

Anyway, please pay attention to xAI (and polluters in general) in Memphis. We deserve clean air. South Memphis ESPECIALLY deserves clean air - they’ve been dealing with polluters, cancer, asthma, for decades.

I’ve returned from Sicily back to Memphis. I was on a 12-day city planning research project in San Berillo.
There are many similarities between that neighborhood and Memphis.
One thing that keeps jumping out to me: we must solve poverty. And city planners cannot solve this alone.

Bollards are like cops except they are always on duty, don’t get paid overtime, and don’t need to carry a gun to stop bad drivers
From this angle, you can truly appreciate how one tiny bollard can stop the enormous and truly gross Cyber Truck. What a magnificent sight!
