WHAT IF WE HAD POLITICAL WILL? Transportation dollars are scarce, but a new progressive mayoral administration can make a big impact without breaking the bank. Here’s my list. 🧵

DE-PAVE OUR STREETS. Car infrastructure is expensive to maintain. As we de-motorize, places like Paris show that we can peel back the layers of asphalt and concrete to create a renewed, re-humanized, and re-naturalized city.
BEFORE and AFTER. You are not going to believe me this time…but I swear…I absolutely swear this is the same fucking street.

The Deskford Carnyx - the head of an Iron Age war trumpet shaped to represent a wild boar. The carnyx was found in 1816 at Deskford in Banffshire when digging for peat. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

this is not a walkable, affordable, livable, or climate adaptive future
but rather one that focuses most density on the most toxic and unlivable streets.
and no. EVs don't solve this. it's a geometry problem. not an engine problem.

i'm sorry but this is not a future that prioritizes affordable housing and climate - it's a future that prioritizes cars

They're still accepting students and collecting tuitions though 🙄
Online art school CGMA has abruptly halted operations after it was revealed that the company had dissolved last year. A group of 140 instructors says they’re owed months of unpaid wages, while parent company Domestika awaits a court ruling.

The article also includes a map I made of all data centers and natural gas power plants in California, including emissions from those plants.
Some gas power companies that see profit in the AI boom say they can capture their carbon emissions, and deserve clean electricity credits from the state.

First prototype is done. Some tweaks to make but think we cracked it at this scale. Who would be interested in purchasing this as a high quality large scale model?
big thanks to @locusdio.bsky.social who did the dirty work on this!

I made an animated gif comparing the best possible zoning map we can implement (Alternative 5) and Mayor Harrell's proposed plan.
In short, Harrell undermined what would have been a transformative housing plan, betraying everyday Seattleites and leaving us with scraps.
