Since taking @futureofwhere.bsky.social ‘s class in grad school, I’ve been an advocate for smaller, shorter blocks.
Here’s another reason to support them, as revealed in @jeffspeck.bsky.social’s “Walkable City” book:
Bigger blocks built for cars lead to more deaths by car.

In @jeffspeck.bsky.social’s book “Walkable City” he explains that in 1902, every US city w/ a population over 10,000 had a streetcar system.
Can you imagine how good our public transit systems & our public health would be today if we hadn’t torn out all those streetcars after cars became a despot?

Coincidence on MLK Day that I read this page today.
Reminder that social and economic justice are linked.

Love to see when #SanJose is mentioned in a book, this one by @henrygrabar.bsky.social.
Today’s instance is for #parking mandates which the City of San Jose eliminated in 2022 after many advocates like me pushed hard for these changes.
