The deep Woodley Park Metro station has a devastatingly slow elevator. Oftentimes, you don’t know whether it’s best to wait, walk over a block and go down the escalator, or find a different way to get where you’re going.

I’m getting more and more convinced that the best future for US transportation policy is to end the gas tax and let states decide what and how much they want to build.
Keeping it in place and bailing out the highway trust fund isn’t doing any good now.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed 4 years ago. In new research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social we study its effects.
US transport spending increased by 30%, but:
—Funding for non-highway projects flatlined
—Construction cost increases resulted in no actual increase in infrastructure

I went to Lisbon last year and the vast majority of tourists were other mainland Europeans.
“In Spain, marches are planned in Barcelona, San Sebastían, Granada, Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza. There are also protests scheduled in Lisbon and Genoa, Italy, and there are likely to be demonstrations in Venice.” @nytimes.com

It angers me when people don’t take the lint out of the dryer. That’s literally the most fun part of doing laundry!
