Interested in better cities and transport. More: housing, efficient transport, street trees, land value capture. Less: air pollution, bad subsidies, rent.

I read "The High Cost of Free Parking" in 2007 or so and immediately pitched a story on it even though I was working for a WSJ lifestyle section that wanted nothing to do with policy. Few things radicalized me so easily and completely. RIP to the GOAT. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/02/08/d...

It is based on Barcelona Line 9/10 but bigger 🫣 I copied @chittimarco.bsky.social graphic for comparison adding in this one. It lands between Barcelona and the controversial San Jose BART extension.

Pretty wild how the payment experience has basically gone backward in the last few years. Contactless payments are declined or surcharged, and bank transfers generally not accepted for things like FB marketplace transactions any more.
