I love that just as I started listening to this, I passed a Cybertruck on the back of a tow truck. Just perfect timing.

All hail the mighty state; Texans, you can defeat TXDOT.
Listened to this podcast on the drive in today; loved it.
1) getting TXDOT to consider taking out a freeway in Dallas was surreal;
2) I’ll always be a sucker for a Rochester story

in some sense the origin story of my city as it currently exists is a freeway revolt, the first successful one in the US. that people are still having to fight these fights sixty years later is so f'in' grim.
New episode! "The Texas Freeway Fight with Megan Kimble." In her new book, Kimble tells the stories of the communities in the path of TxDOT’s bulldozers and the brave Texans fighting to save their homes, neighborhoods, and cities from a seemingly implacable foe.

You may have thought we had learned some lessons about building mega highways through communities back in the 20th century, but...Megan Kimble's fantastic new book sheds light on the mistakes we are still making, and the fight to stop them.

My most controversial opinion is that touchscreens have no place in car operation.
Ha ha just kidding, it's that any product that kills 40,000 people a year through regular usage in the US alone (not even counting pollution) is bad actually.

Our friend, Councilor Michael Janz wearing a The War on Cars “toque” on CTV Edmonton is the best thing we’ve seen. That’s some real political courage right there.

"Sneckdown" has been added to the Urbanism+ feed.
You're up Wikipedia:
"A sneckdown (or snowy neckdown) is a temporary curb extension caused by snowfall, where snow has built up in the road but not been flattened by traffic, effectively reshaping the curb."

"Should SUV Ads Be Banned?"
Adfree Cities, a UK advocacy group, successfully got a Toyota Hilux SUV ad that shows drivers ripping through natural areas and cities taken off the airwaves and streets.
Hear how they did it and what's next in our new episode.

Just like the Constitution says: major issues of federal policy are to be decided by the whims of Republican judicial appointees, who can at any point pretend some wholly-moot case is a proper vehicle for overturning precedent and reconfiguring how the entire government functions.
Remember last week's SCOTUS case about the TYRANNICAL rule that requires POOR FISHERMEN to PAY for government monitors?
Unmentioned during oral arguments: The program has already been abolished, and the fishermen were repaid 100% of the money! slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court Cooked Up Another Phony Case to Tear Down Major Precedent
The fishermen would surely win, maybe unanimously, if the court had granted the right question.
