I am happy to see our work from @urbaninstitute.bsky.social showing the importance of upping transit service in Colorado's new transportation vision.
There is a close association between more service & more ridership; agencies that brought back more service from 2019 have recovered more riders.

Austin built a LOT of new homes over the past few years, leading to lower rents and higher vacancy rates, providing relief to renters and giving renters more negotiating power over landlords.

Crazy fact: only 10 years ago, there were more housing units in San Francisco than Austin, TX. Now Austin has basically 100k more units and is still building at 5-10x the pace of SF.
