As someone who has written a lot about crosswalks - I think these types of crossings are fine, and a USDOT that is dismantling funding programs for bike and pedestrian infrastructure is in no position to argue this is about safety: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

It's always funny to me that the NYTimes has what's very clearly a "rich person section" but they have to call it their "style magazine"

Enjoyed that Apple's advertising of the new AirPods includes public transit:

One thing American media is very good at is writing about homeowners as if they are victims.

West Sonoma County

Chinatown and Polk Street need wider sidewalks. AMA

New bus-boarding island coming to 7th and Mission (by the federal courthouse).

Today I learned the largest single emitter of methane in California is a cattle feedlot :( insideclimatenews.org/news/1808202...

Another new tenant in the Ferry Building

Yeah this one was a head-scratcher from the start: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u... @heatherknightsf.bsky.social

People who think mass deportations are a housing affordability strategy have no place in the YIMBY movement.

Bernal Heights, post rain

This is so cool: Copper, which makes induction stoves with li-ion batteries integrated, is going to build *10,000* of these suckers for use in New York public housing. Better cooking, easier cleaning, grid resiliency built in. Win win win.

Castro, after the rain

Important and gutting series from the Times:

People always are shocked to hear that LA represents the second highest transit ridership in the US!

Waymo's new service area for the Bay:

Enjoyed this short video on Penn Station: www.nytimes.com/video/nyregi...

Really powerful exhibit on what happens when a freeway destroys a neighborhood. Currently on at SJSU's main library: events.sjsu.edu/event/beneat...

amusing chart. it turns out New York City built more housing units in the 1920s than in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s put together www.nyc.gov/content/plan...

Fall in San Jose

*WAYMO LAUNCHES DRIVERLESS ROBOTAXIS ON FREEWAYS IN FIRST FOR US *WAYMO FREEWAY ROUTES TO BE OFFERED IN LA, SF AND PHOENIX AREA

Get you a mayor that gushes about grade-separated bike lanes when traveling the world!

SPRINTED FROM CAPITAL CORRIDOR TO RICHMOND BART AND CAUGHT IT BY ONE SECOND Urbanist's high

Bank of the American River, Sacramento

The ghoulish anti-bike lane org in Northwest DC is big mad

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Transit-oriented Development going up, Lake Merritt BART

Art Fair, CCoA, Design District

Heaven on earth 🌁

Let's add more pedestrian refuge islands with trees! Super rare in SF. Off Geary.

Fog rolleth in

I've always enjoyed writing, but it does increasingly feel like a revolutionary act. Don't let machines think for you.

Good crowd and bustle in the Japan Center

Genuinely one of my favorite buildings in New York, and anywhere: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/a...

This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up

San Francisco legend, legislative giant, amazing legacy

Every platform-level lit sign is flickering at Berryessa BART. Video doesn't fully capture but very disorienting. @bart.gov

Really interesting chart from @sfchronicle.com

A 34-yr old democratic socialist from Uganda was just elected mayor of the largest city and financial capital of the United States. NO BIGGIE ROSS, NO BIGGIE

Okay genuine LMAO

Good Morning!

Where are we on housing policy this election evening? —NIMBY NJ Gubernatorial candidate loses decisively. —Mamdani, promising to pause rent increase & develop 200k affordable units, wins NYC decisively. —All pro-housing referendums in NYC likely passed. —Housing funding passed in Columbus & Denver.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

All YIMBY ballot measures are currently winning in NYC by 10-point margins at least
