It's got the weather but car free So Cal is not for the timid! Lots of desolate connecting stops beside big roads

I was a lower-bandwidth twitter user, and what drove me out was not just the regrettable new management, but the related change of tone. It started to feel hostile and angry, even on my tiny urbanist follow list. I hope that doesn't happen here

Thanks for sharing this excellent summary of the NZ upzoning efforts. I'm going next month and will be curious to see evidence of these policies taking effect since my visit 5 years ago

It could be such a beautiful neighbourhood, a mix of heritage conversions and modern lowrise with corner stores. We really can have better things

I was at the quay just two weeks ago. Go there now and then, though my favourite soap store is gone!

I noticed the old location is looking a little tired, very glad to hear this news

The NYT continues its awkward BC reporting streak. In fairness they are only here for 36 hours at a time

It's the least used section of my wardrobe here. But you can repurpose for spring!

Just found out the Tempe streetcar is FREE in 2023! And has beaten ridership expectations
Feeling optimistic?

Wondering if it gets this hot in Ibiza or Mykonos 🥵

Mercifully it will cool down a bit by the time I get there

“It’s positively European, somewhere between Mykonos and Ibiza" 🤔
Intrigued but skeptical (there's no beach for starters)

Surely some of you have heard of Culdesac? It's a car-free development in Tempe I will also be checking out

A new housing development outside Phoenix is looking towards European cities for inspiration and shutting out the cars. So far residents love it
