For 95% of the trips in cities, cars are dumb. Cities would be so much better without them.
Summer Streets are back, for another ridiculous display of how much better our streets could be.

Politics is really about selling vision.
What if Denver’s Mayor, Mike Johnston had an initiative, “100 Better Connections,” would you support it?
IDK, I guess I’m feeling Inspired by the Denver Urbanism Podcast.

Hopefully this is a slippery slope to a total ban. 🤘🏼
The code change prohibits the construction of new gas stations:
- Within a quarter mile of an existing gas station
- Within a quarter mile of a rail transit station platform
- Within 300 feet of low-intensity residential zone districts, dedicated to single- and two-unit buildings
- Within a quarter mile of an existing gas station
- Within a quarter mile of a rail transit station platform
- Within 300 feet of low-intensity residential zone districts, dedicated to single- and two-unit buildings
Denver bans gas stations near gas stations (and lots of other places)
The new law affects projects that were already proposed, drawing intense criticism from real-estate interests.

When walking and biking feels like a maze, joy is drained from life.
We need to stop paving the way to misery and start building cities for people.

It’s time to trend back to a simpler and more joyful way of being.

Have you seen this one before? A short history of traffic engineering via @copenhagenizers.bsky.social. Manufactured #CarDependency takes a lot of forms, including how easy or hard we make it to get from A to B using any other ways of getting around.
A direct result of the wrong priorities.

There are simple and free ways to fix the housing shortage. @cityofdenver.bsky.social
As Denver considers removing parking minimums, it’s important to note that removing parking minimums one of the most effective tools we have to increase housing supply and housing affordability.
IMPORTANT NEW STUDY: Fully flexible parking rules would result in MORE NEW HOMES than legalizing granny flats & larger multifamily buildings near transit combined, even if every new building still included some amount of parking.

Car-dependent societies SUCK!
“EVs enjoy a global image that is entirely unjustified. The pitch – buy an EV and save the planet – is just nonsense. Their presence will still disfigure cities, pushing politicians and developers to build new parking lots, roads and highways to gratify the endless swarms of drivers.”
