Obviously politics is much more sophisticated than the brutish and simplistic statement that "cars make people evil". And yet it has never once been proven wrong..

Wait, it gets even WORSE. ICE was interested in this family because an agent wanted retribution against the father of the baby, who apparently had honked at the care of an undercover ICE agent the day before who had cut him off.

Musk's source of cash is loans secured by Tesla stock. If the stock price goes down low enough, he has to sell stock to meet the margin call, fueling the downward spiral. This makes him vulnerable in ways that no other oligarch is. If you think Musk is a problem, Tesla is your attack surface.

Planners should have to design cities from behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance. That is to say: the planner will have to live in the city they design, but they don't know *where* in the city.

In NY and family that spend $20 to cross a bridge a dozen times a week are talking about how $15 congestion pricing is going to be the death of Manhattan.

People fucking hate transit and love cars. It sucks.

Any "avid cyclist" who claims that the solution to road safety for cyclists is simply to be more skilled and assertive should be required to demonstrate that they are more skilled and assertive than Olympic Champion Remco Evenepoel who was, this week, doored.

One of my long held theories is that a bike actually provides the freedom of movement and exhilaration that a car promises in a city at a fraction of the cost and the dissonance there drives the people in cars *completely fucking insane*
every commenter on the internet who complains about bike lanes once saw a cyclist pedal through a red light and now uses it as justification for why they should be allowed to run over anyone else on the road

In terms of mobility, e-bikes are selling faster & having bigger effects on emissions than EVs, much less self-driving EVs. And yet they get vastly, vastly less attention.

Why 2023 was the year of the e-bike and not the self-driving car
E-bikes and self-driving cars both entered the year with momentum. Only one maintained it.

If Bob Holden really was really concerned about reckless e-bikes he could hold a hearing tomorrow and just ask for an enforcement plan of the existing laws which prohibit bad behavior.
