Side streets not necessarily lined with parked cars? Looks like heaven.
Riding Tokyo’s backstreets with Takeshi today. Very little traffic, slow streets.

In 2026, cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn 5-star safety rating in Europe. New testing rules will be introduced that require vehicles to have physical controls to earn the highest safety score.

This is a good thing for public safety, and a bad thing for companies like Tesla.

We went through this with zoning, and now we're going through it with building code: trillion dollar industries depend on these things, yet a bunch of precocious bloggers can swoop in and expose these institutions as full of pseudoscience. Does nobody do their job? @aarmlovi.bsky.social

Many of you were shocked by the idea of a vaccine denier heading the national health department, but many US planning departments are run by people who do not believe that building more housing will improve affordability—essentially the same thing.
As a profession, we should ask ourselves what's the point of having these anti-YIMBYs. Why don't we also have flat Earthers in a geography program? Maybe we need anti-evolutionists arguing that stance in literature journals? Why do we give sophistry a pass just because it's left coded?
Unfortunately for academic anti-YIMBYs, building more market rate housing to lower housing prices works in practice but not in theory.

Cities should be designed for:

❌ A̶u̶t̶o̶n̶o̶m̶o̶u̶s̶ C̶a̶r̶s̶

✅ Autonomous Kids
It is perfectly possible for very young children to cycle through a city to primary school together, as long as you ensure that city has cycle infrastructure that makes it safe for them to do so. This also frees up their parents to be elsewhere and avoid the stresses of fitting the school run in

Have you seen the new edition of my book Human Transit? Now, the ebook is on-sale for $4.99 only through March 2.

It's been called the most useful introduction to public transportation issues for the curious general reader.
