"After analyzing federal and industry records, including never-before-examined data on vehicle dimensions, we found that the rise of large pickups and S.U.V.s is an important factor." i'm sorry but how the fuck is this correlation just coming to light now?

"Correlation is not causation, but it sure is a hint." RIP Alan Greenspan

Seattle's proposed highway map, including the R.H. Thompson expressway that would have plowed through the Central District and the arboretum. We revere the freeway fighters of past decades but don't really question the status quo.

fwiw i think the marquam bridge is ugly and noisy as hell and the whole Eastside I-5 should be removed but it could be very cool if it marquam shut down as a freeway but parts of it preserved as some sort of elevated Highline Park esque public space bsky.app/profile/clim...

I finally went to see the elk. #Portland.

Sad, but definitely a sidewalk issue #portland

for anyone who thinks it’s science fiction to suggest that Seattle or Portland could function if we tore out I-5 or other massive highways, worth pointing them to our neighbor to the morth, an economically thriving and livable city with virtually no big roads Americans would recognize as “freeways”

New report says Portland has under-invested in its river and waterfront amenities.

Baltimore is on a harbor which is functionally much different from a river, but both cities are ~600k and it was stunning to see and FEEL how much more activity and connection there was to their water than Portland. We need to be both practical and visionary about making that connection.

A denial of the master plan won’t prevent the Lloyd Center from closing, but it would delay plans for the center’s redevelopment

I’m deeply sympathetic to folks with an emotional connection the Lloyd Center who don’t want to see it torn down. But it’s fate is sealed at this point, and any delay in moving on is just slowing Portland from building a ton more housing and giving this neighborhood some new life

Sidewalk width should never be sacrificed for the sake of street parking. If cars are going to exist in cities, they should be forced into garages. People are forced into the margins where bikes, greenery, and signage serving car culture becomes a cluttered mess and a maintenance nightmare.

We cut down the trees and then wonder why the Earth is getting hotter. The shade we destroyed yesterday is the heat we are suffering from now. A tree is not just wood—it is oxygen, rain, cool air, shelter, and life. Plant trees. Protect forests.
