So far TODAY Israel has:
- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid
This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Literally no one is saying cycling is *THEE* solution. There are many...
- Mixed use & housing density so folks can live where shorter trips are possible
- Make it safe and convenient to take transit, walk, or bike to those short trips
- Mitigate car externalities when driving is the best choice

We do just fine as a car-free family without a cargo bike. We live within a 10 min walk of 5 grocery stores, a subway line, 5+ bus lines. I have 2 car rental places a 5 min walk away plus Zipcar.
Density, transit, and mixed-use zoning eliminates the need for cars or cargo bikes for our household.

I think we agree that forced car dependency and forced sprawl doesn't help this issue, though, right?
Increased density, mixed use zoning, efficient public transit and safe bike/ped infrastructure helps.

Higher mixed use density:
1. lowers costs,
2. Brings downward pressure on housing cost
3. creates demand for transit and safe bike networks
4. lowers need for a car.
5. Improves sustainability and promotes more open public space
6. builds stronger local economies
7. creates more vibrant places

The U.S. needs more of this: density, mixed use (residential and businesses in close proximity), bike/ped/transit infrastructure.
It was a bad idea to do sprawl & forced car dependency almost everywhere in the U.S.
Let’s fix that!

High density housing with lots of mixed use zoning around transit areas would be awesome, and also environmental friendly. Getting people away from cars is a good thing, and I say that as an Engineer. It was a mistake to let car culture take over - glares at car and oil companies!

More density, less sprawl, more mixed use zoning, better and safer infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, more priority for transit all throughout the city, especially in the core.
All of these would do wonders, and have been proven over and over again to do what you're asking for.

Our cities deserve better than to be car sewers!
They need safe traffic calmed street that put pedestrians and cyclists before cars

Our cities need reliable fast public transit
Following the same formula of car dependency has been a complete failure!

Questions that weren't asked of the councillor: how does the increasing density provided by infill change the viability of public and active transit? What are council's plans to expand and improve transit service and bike infrastructure in areas with increasing density due to infill?

It’s not just population density, it’s political will (both elected officials & voters). I live 3 miles outside Boston in the most densely popped city in New England. During rush hour, it’s faster to *walk* the 3 miles to my office downtown than to take public transit, bc of decades of underfunding.

Yes. Rural voters keep making themselves clear: they do not want shared prosperity, they want everyone else to suffer.
Look at PA. Rural legislators broke public transit and are promising to keep it broken forever. Why? Because their voters want us to suffer.

In my town it would make such a huge difference if we had much better public transit. The high density on roads that already have traffic but not transit is the biggest problem.

Lord, grant me the confidence of an old rich person equating housing density near public transit to an attempted auto-coup.

We need more jobs closer to where people live and higher density along high capacity public transit like subways. We need great schools within walking distance of every family. Housing, zoning, education, tax, and transit policy all need to be aligned to create a great city.

Car dependent sprawl is a form of class warfare. Car ownership is an enormous mandatory expense that cripples working people’s finances.
A progressive society builds dense, affordable workforce and family housing around public transit. There’s nothing “moderate” about being a YIMBY urbanist.
