Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.
If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers.
INCLUDING DRIVERS.
The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

Sometimes it takes a chance encounter to make you remember why you fight so hard for this idea called Canada.
Six brave young teens from Afghanistan reminded me of the need to fight the hate that is oozing over the border.

It's true! When I studied economics, I was stunned by the ROI of social programs. Every dollar spent on childcare returns about $2.80 to the economy, and healthcare delivers even greater returns with broader social impact.
A universal basic income is simply smart fiscal policy. Why the reluctance?
A universal basic income is simply smart fiscal policy. Why the reluctance?
For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.
Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.
We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
