As with disparate impact arguments against safety cameras and traffic enforcement generally, making a disparate impact argument against DUI enforcement is absurd—what about the Native, Black and Hispanic pedestrians and bicyclists disproportionally killed by drunk drivers?

Some good thoughts from both, but they are each beholden to their own rigid ideologies. Marohn wants every last thing to be incremental; Walker thinks that favoring rail over bus is "elite projection." In reality, a preference for rail is entirely rational, and it's hard to build rail incrementally.

Make all left turn arrows lagging rather than leading. Lagging avoids the unofficial second left turn opportunity as motorists try to squeeze through at the end of a cycle, often making the left turn just as the light turns red or even a few seconds after that has occurred.

As usual, Marohn wants us to worship at the temple of incrementalism. That's helpful for housing, but I don't know how a transit system, especially one involving rail, can be built incrementally. His cherry picked examples were too incremental -- isolated rail lines not part of a coordinated system.

And I have fond memories of this from three decades ago.

Je souhaite que notre «light rail» à Phoenix avait la priorité presque absolue aux carrefours. En vérité, les trains doivent souvent attendre aux feus.

I don’t consider myself a leftist, but I do consider consider using X morally indefensible for me. Management, starting at the top with Musk, is so awful that no amount of complaints from within will make it a better place.

Two days later, the dad joke finally occurs to me: What I really want is to see someone standing on the sidewalk playing songs written by either Bob Mould or Grant Hart while using the stage name of Büsker Dü. Bonus points for doing it in front of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis.

Worse than not using or acknowledging transit is using imperfection as an excuse for inaction on other fronts. During a recent debate on reducing parking minimums, opponents said “We’re not there yet” about transit. If we don’t change land use, we’ll never be there and the goalposts will move again.

Most fans of short form video, especially vertical video, are more interested in "vibes" than information.

"Dead" is a relative term. I lived in Providence in the '80s when everyone called it that. When I returned earlier this year, I couldn't believe how much more vibrant Downtown is now compared to then.

The location is not ideal under current circumstances, but the land is ripe for redevelopment, near areas with favorable demographics, and along a proposed streetcar line. Having the venue there might help catalyze much needed redevelopment and investment in a formerly busy area.

The colors are different, but otherwise the team’s new logo isn’t much different than the actual transit agency’s.

Given the quality of AI customer support I've experienced, never.

The Camelback one is lovely, but the city had to put a fence in the middle of the street to force mid-block crossers to use it. Some activation might make pedestrians more naturally drawn towards it.

If totally car-free, I'd rather live in a downtown Phoenix or Tempe high-rise with amenities like a grocery and drug store nearby.

My biggest concern, though, is excessive hype. If Culdesac fails, naysayers will use that as an excuse to oppose incremental measures like reduced parking requirements.

It’s even more complicated than that. In American English, periods and comma always go inside quotation marks. With question marks and exclamation points, it depends on whether they are part of the quotation.
