Real complaint is not #expertise, but rather process of legitimacy and credibility laundering that elevates advocacy figures to expert status through repeated citation, institutional affiliation, and credentialing by media reinforcement, rather than by demonstrated, firsthand domain expertise. 1/6
ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means
This isn't about democratizing the news. It's about elevating "vibes" and "feelings" to be on par with lived experience and subject-matter expertise.

Note that the ergonomics work advocates for tactile, purposeful, and unambiguous buttons (and switches and knobs), not an anonymous array of mushy, homogeneous buttons reminiscent of 1980s General Motors or a low-level home hi-fi unit competing on the number of buttons.

Some bury their head in sand at city limit and don't think much about how regional consumers chose where to go and how to get there.
Planners forgo opportunity of more workers and more consumers in the city (or in any hub) and forgo having them as pedestrians and last mile bikeshare enthusiasts.

New growth in newly built-up locations, not recaptured lost pre-covid ridership, brings total transit usage back near pre-covid totals ? #YVR #livable_region
Finally, for transit to thrive, it has to be useful. Density makes that possible.
More density ➡️ More service ➡️ More riders
That's the winning recipe in Vancouver, where ridership is almost back to pre-Covid levels. Much of the growth is from big suburban developments built atop transit stations.

The Secret to Vancouver’s Public Transit Ridership Recovery
The Canadian city’s transit agency, TransLink, bounced back from Covid even as other North American systems have struggled. Its leader explains why riders returned.

I may wish for a route finder that maximises curves and minimzes stops.
What an absolutely insane thing for Google Maps to recommend doing to get from the Grand Central to LIE, all to avoid going a few blocks on the adjacent surface street.

Dynamic tolling fixed congestion in Virginia on I-66. Whenever congestion creeps up, the price increases. In return, the roadway maintains a free-flowing speed of 45-55 mph.
The NJ Turnpike should implement this instead of self-defeating highway expansions.

A gentle reminder that the protagonist and hero in Its A Wonderful Life, George Bailey, is a real estate developer.
The villain, Mr. Potter, is a NIMBY slumlord who doesn’t want any new developments because they threaten his monopoly.
