me screaming this from every rooftop
Building *slows* gentrification; and *not* building makes it much worse: "The findings suggest that not allowing more homes to be built—even for high-income residents—pushes up all rents, making it harder for low-income tenants to remain in their neighborhoods." -- www.pew.org/en/research-...

Neighborhood streets, where kids used to just tool around on bikes, haven’t changed. But what probably has changed is the kid’s friend’s dad, who lives next door, likes to drive his SUV fast and thinks people shouldn’t be in the street.
Walk down a quiet American street a few decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: a gaggle of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, armed with a steely sense of purpose, and without any protective headwear. +

Funny thing is, my extremely Republican county has free public transportation because a county commissioner did the math and realized making all the buses free, not just the tourist beach trolley, was in fact cost effective because free buses convinces more people not to drive.
There's a proven way of reducing road congestion but we don't like investing in it because it's socialism so instead we aim for AI tech.
The answer is mass transit.

I have covered more Tesla stories about self-driving dreams, promises, delays, dangers than you'd ever care to deal with... Occasional startup stories, stories on the competition overseas, the partnerships. One thing nobody seems to care about? Traffic congestion. How much worse it will get.
