Something I’ll definitely be thinking about out for a while bc of this episode is how getting in a car does create a sort of new entity that is not entirely a person nor a car and we should treat/regulate our places as well as think about dealing with drivers based on that framing.

Finally on a section where they’re willing to do 300km/h

Anyway, me and my partner are signing a lease at a market rate apartment today, that was built in the last 5 years, and is currently being rented at rents affordable to 60% AMI. Tenant advocates have really inflicted untold suffering on Californian renters it’s unreal.

Semi-older Spanish people (40+) HATE MOTOMAMI and adore Lux which I find very funny

US traffic engineers sometimes claim that their profession, and the manuals and procedures they’ve created, aren’t to blame for America‘s poor traffic safety record. Instead, they insist, the problem is America’s stupid and careless drivers. It’s a convenient way to shift blame, but not convincing.

A fun way to use @dashcam.bike is to see how fast your train is going

Nothing like being a bar so packed you are eating off an ice chest

Cities aren’t loud, cars are loud.

Cambridge passed citywide multifamily zoning last year. Now, more housing is being proposed in wealthy neighborhoods that had previously been protected by exclusionary zoning. This is exactly as intended by the City Council, and a key step towards correcting the city's geographic inequality.

Thanks everyone for using Grok, what would we do without you, breathe?

I’m afraid if they’d asked us in Memphis if an “Authorized vehicles only” sign worked we would’ve laughed and said “no, absolutely not, that’s not your plan I hope?”

I just learned that people pay a minimum of $200/year for the most popular “fitness” tracking wristband thing’s subscription…are people insane?

The pattern of childhood morbidity and mortality follows the geography of sprawl, not the geography of screens. New from me: Sometimes, conservative infighting can be revealing. mateosfo.substack.com/p/do-conserv...

This is why Bluesky should convert from third rail to overhead catenary and in this essay I will

HUGE day for a nerd

Br3nt Taylor is absolutely drooling looking at this news, I just know it

Telling people, "we're going to have a green energy transition and cheap gas" is the equivalent of posting the "no take, only throw" dog-and-frisbee meme directly into your platform

I was already depressed about the redistricting wars and that it’s made my federal election vote even less representative and then I found out I’m in friggin Andy Ogles district

Got em

Omg they’re actually doing @theonion.com bit

Seems to be one of those days where just about every Memphian has forgotten how to drive

I only took this a couple blocks but man do I love my cargo bike #carryshitolympics

Leaks apparently 💦

It’s genuinely funny to me that planners made developers build buildings that everyone thinks look like shit If I didn’t know better I’d say it was sabotage

Planners only want one thing and it's disgusting.

having said this w/r/t the government taking a heavy-handed approach in dealing with antisocial behavior, I *really* have to emphasize that "charts, graphs and spreadsheets are nerd shit that shouldn't inform policy" is an okay thing to believe, but if you do, socialism and communism are not for you

Hell yeah, now THIS is how you get the left to think we should actually tax the middle class more

What I like about this tool is it perfectly illustrates how horribly inefficient the suburban development pattern is…Like model-breaking bad lol bc no matter what you throw at it, making people drive/be driven to for everything is so catastrophically bad for the environment it will always be #1

I am begging “environmentalists” to understand that building dense infill housing is one of the most environmentally friendly policies possible

Kids should be allowed to be unpredictable, drivers and our street design should not

We need to stop building car lanes until drivers start following the law

Ooof. Memphis gets another shoutout (derogatory)

it'a been in the 80s (climate change is real) and the time between green lights is very long - these shade umbrellas have been lifesavers at intersections. some of them even have built in seating.

“I don’t believe Tylenol works because it was developed by big pharma. And the people who develop drugs are just like the big pharma executives i hate” You realize everyone at BLS is the biggest nerd you’ve met in your life

Church of America with Trump as its pope in 5,4,3,2….

When you're done watching @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social's video on the pitfall of free transit, check out my video about how America's second largest city accidentally went fare-optional after the security department went rogue and stopped doing fare checks. youtu.be/vTS897tcu6Q

sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

City To Increase Sidewalk Width To Accommodate Parking Needs Of Supersized Vehicles.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

imagine if i happened to be a trillionaire and bought twitter and 80% of the stuff on the site was just about big pants. you couldn't escape it. just an endless deluge of big pants propaganda

If you are an Allegheny County resident and think this is not how a Dept of Public works should think about safe systems, you can read the County Vision Zero plan and send comments on it literally right now www.spcregion.org/programs-ser...

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Love the part where he says “don’t walk like this” and then demonstrates various ways that a small child might walk. Good to know children aren’t meant to cross the street

Can't stress enough how basically banning people from renting single family homes (which is the flip side of banning companies from renting them out) is basically economic redline with lefty vibes (only the well off can live in suburbs). Sadly I think that is why it is so popular.

This may be one of the most tone deaf “PSA”’s I’ve ever seen. This needs to be studied lol

"since I moved here in 2016" lmao

“…since I moved to Chicago in 2016…” checks out

Right-NIMBYism is the generally correct belief that you can keep your city exclusive by blocking new housing. Left-NIMBYism is the mistaken idea that you can keep your city affordable and attainable by blocking new housing.
