Hot take: your need for parking should not come at the expense of the overall pedestrian safety for the general population. Sorry pookie..

An entire civilization is being demolished along with its people. Will those who have stood by and watched pretend they never existed when Israel claims and settles the land?
I think about this.
“The central archive of Gaza Municipality, which dates back to the Ottoman era and includes documents, ownership records, official transactions, electricity, water, municipal records, and land registries, has been entirely burnt and destroyed, aside from what has been stolen.”

I remember when they tried to deny bombing the first hospital. Now war crimes have been normalized—and all under the Biden administration. A moral failure of catastrophic proportions…
Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

Israel burns northern Gaza’s last functioning hospital; patients and staff forcibly removed
Isreali military vehicles surrounded the hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, and communications had been cut off.

the difference is about 10,000 units. it's a lot.
and it's a meaningful step that more parts of the city should be taking.
but it will likely increase housing in the area by just a little bit more than is already being built.
there are other dynamics that seem to prefer non-housing developments.

I analyzed how much the zoning capacity would change after the Broadway upzoning. It'd be bigger than the Western Ave proactive upzoning, in large because the proposal is for rezoning to a higher-density zoning district.

Black folks are always labeled as “urban” by micro-aggressive neoliberals, but are vastly underrepresented in the actual urbanism space.
You then get dog 💩 takes like “public order is good” without an intersectional approach/context

Weird how most of the media coverage on "inflation" didn't point out soaring profit. It was always about increased prices but rarely pointing out the companies were enriching themselves to an even greater extent than ever before.
Corporate profits hit an all-time high last year and continued to rise in 2024.
Just so happens that in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.
Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.
