When cities offer "Road Closure" or car-free streets as a one-day treat do city leaders ever think to offer that treat all the time?

People are speaking with their feet.

Their feet are saying, "enough with every street throughout our city being a playground for people in cars. We want this too!"

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

In 2009, at the height of the financial crisis, Obama met with bank CEOs and told them his administration was “the only thing between you and the pitchforks."

For too many years, that’s how the Democratic Party has seen itself in relation to industry.

But it’s time to join the pitchforks.

This video is for Doug Ford, and all those in my replies saying bike lanes "stop emergency vehicles from getting to their destination". They *allow* emergency vehicles to get to their destination, as seen here on Adelaide. They were designed with emergency services in mind.

Because these happen off of public roadways, none of these deaths are included in FARS (Fatality Analysis Reporting System) and are often not included in local crash data.

Every driving trip poses a risk, some vehicles pose higher risk than others.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

America is a nation with a history of maniacs, from its very beginning, who have looked at something they haven't liked and fought against it. Over long, long odds and fought and won and fought more.
