parking over everything.

If you want to hear me ranting about church parking lots, you're in luck... I did this li'l webinar for the @parkingreform.org Parking Reform Network. Just realized they put it up on YouTube, so here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixc8...

Good article, @humantransit.bsky.social ! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"It’s a particular feeling when a book sinks straight into your bones, and in order to write about it, you have to pull it back out again."

Cyclists may be familiar with Schroedinger's cyclist. But I'd suggest also Schroedinger's public transport: simultaneously too slow and restrictive for car-users to take, while also perfectly fine and therefore not in need of any funding for improvement or expansion, or reallocation to bus lanes.

Theologians still argue: Was it harder for Christ to turn water into wine, or for Vatican planners to justify turning their largest renaissance courtyard into a parking lot.

Paradise said: That hurt, but let me tell you about geologic time

There is talk in my region of cutting bus budgets for already struggling transit systems in smaller towns (approx 100k pop). Can anyone recommend data/studies either on the ill effects of budget cuts or the benefits of well funded transit?

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

I have a new book coming out, too. In June.

Next time you're driving in circles searching for a place to park, take a moment to think of Donald Shoup. He spent his life trying to bring sanity to parking policy.

RIP to a champion of urbanism as well as common sense.

We should all be so fortunate, when our meter runs out of time, to leave behind a group of reformers dedicated to continuing our work parkingreform.org/donald-shoup/

New research highlights the stark choice: solve the climate crisis now, or spend a lot more money and resources after environmental tipping points have passed. A Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory team crunched the necessary numbers.
