Terrible story but great reporting by Laura Penington of the Denver Post:
- "A man died... after being hit by the driver of a van while riding his bike"
- "the driver struck him from behind"
And some extra context that you rarely ever see:
- "There are no bike lanes along that stretch of road"
- "A man died... after being hit by the driver of a van while riding his bike"

It's difficult to overstate how much a bike paradise Amsterdam is. Such a quiet, comfortable city.

Very illuminating clip here: Los Angeles City Councilmember Imelda Padilla criticizes SB 79 because it limits local elected officials’ power to block new housing, then @jonlovett.bsky.social reminds her that we have a massive housing shortage that is strangling our state’s growth.

"Private equity is causing the housing crisis" is a very common take that mixes up cause and effect. Single-family homes are an attractive investment vehicle for private equity because there's a shortage of them, not the other way around.

The city facing a budget crisis is going to spend $200M to create a park with zip lining and water features instead of building housing.
I'm sure the park will be lovely, but this is maddening.
The industrial area to the east of the park should be rezoned MX to make this begin to make sense.

I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.
I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?

"We don't control the market" is such a lazy response from a mayor. You have tools at your disposal to lower development costs. Also, the housing crisis didn't appear overnight.
Talked with four Denver metro area mayors about fighting the state on who controls housing density, ugly claims that multifamily housing brings in a “certain kind” of people, and whether Gov Polis is imitating Trump by threatening to pull funding from cities. #copolitics
