The rabid rejection of Abundance by certain liberals and leftists is actually just a natural reaction to the realization that they and their 2010s grievance politics are RAPIDLY losing relevance.
People are tired of these folks.
It’s time for a positive vision for the future.

Public transit will fail if women and children do not feel safe on it.
No, “ignoring” anti-social behavior and harassment is not a solution.

Transit thrives when everyone feels safe. Successful cities show that tackling antisocial behavior and ensuring clean, welcoming spaces boosts trust and ridership. Ignoring safety concerns alienates potential users and undermines public support for better transit.

If even someone like me, who bikes regularly and thinks about safety constantly, is influenced by poor design, how can we expect better from those who drive everywhere?
Design drives behavior. It’s the most critical factor.

I'm endlessly kind of baffled by the lack of urgency on housing California. This is the state's number one problem—a crisis so bad that's imperiling national Democratic ambitions. And all we can pass are heavily compromised bills that take effect in like five years, if ever.

I believe in doing what you can to better the community in which you live, but life is short and if you are fortunate enough to have the option of moving somewhere that better enables the life you want to live, absolutely go for it.

I get a lot of the same questions about pedestrian streets over and over so maybe this infographic will help.

深海棲艦。人間のメンタルにジャミングしてくる奴と、電波をジャミングしてくる奴の2種類いるらしくて、前者相手であれば無人機でも結構いけるとかいけないとか（ただし深海棲艦を物理火力だけで潰した場合は一定期間で再構成されてしまうので、最終的には艦娘による浄化が必要）

Ring around the galaxy… Here’s Webb’s stunning new mid-infrared image of M104.
This bright core of the galaxy is dim in this view, revealing a smooth inner disk as well as details of how the clumpy gas in the outer ring is distributed. https://t.co/wQSE9xGTXX https://t.co/p7zNl4YSwD

Still developing my EMEZ (Earth-Moon Economic Zone) project, really excited to share (soon) some more stuff I've developed over last months, the project got a bit more extensive, but I'm pretty much sure at least some of you will like it
And here's an additional little treat, a bit extended sequence with voiceover and some additional shots

I guess it should be said, I don't think livable cities and urban environments built around people are political topics. It's just basic logic that has been in practice for thousands of years until around 1950 when some rich assholes thought they had a better idea for how we should do things.

When the tactical urbanism begins to interface with institutional urbanism to such a point that the line blurs into a lovely gradient
“We don't right now have any information about who put them up. We do know that they're very professionally designed signs. They're very large. They're very well done. So someone went to a lot of trouble to put these large signs up.”
Boulder’s explicit traffic safety signs are the latest real-looking fakes on Colorado roads
Several of the signs were concentrated along 28th Street, a busy north-south thoroughfare that the city has identified as being particularly dangerous.
