Most of You already know me, so there's no need to introductions.
I'll start with a megathread of my favourite satellite pics processed by me in 2024.
Various dates, most of them were taken by Sentinel-2.

“Police beats where peacekeepers are active saw a decrease in homicides of more than 63%, more than double the citywide average.” We know what works, and Shotspotter isn’t it.
NEW: A steep drop in homicides in the 12 South and West side neighborhoods that had ShotSpotter sensors lasted a full year after Mayor Brandon Johnson scrapped the city’s controversial gunshot detection system, an updated analysis of Chicago crime data shows. @wttw.bsky.social
Steep Drop in Homicides Continued for Full Year After ShotSpotter Was Removed: Analysis
Supporters of the gunshot detection system said it helped officers save lives when shootings were not reported to emergency services. ShotSpotter was never used to dispatch paramedics.

Ready for the return of curb thoughts from my ward’s AC Transit director!
In ~2018 we had energy around curb data standards, shared street data, pulling usage stats out of the ZIRPed-up mobility companies, and city enforcement. COVID parklets pushed that forward, we should bring it back.

“The good news is that the city already owns an asset worth at least that much every single year, which we simply give away. We walk past it every day: the curb.”
“Pairing free buses with paid parking says we value people in motion more than cars at rest,” writes Nicolas Rohatyn.

book is absolutely lovely so far, but this little section stood out to me.
"Drivers and pedestrians said they typically broke laws to save time. Cyclists, however, said they typically broke laws to stay safe."
ridiculously true. at no point on my bike do i think about The Law. i think about safety

CECOT Archipelago
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

This could be us!
NYC did it because it was overwhelmed by cars and they were choking out commercial activity. Would this work in a city that wasn’t as flooded? Could parts of Oakland benefit economically knowing that driver revenue wouldn’t appear, just based on foot traffic and storefronts alone?

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.
