Interesting the initial highway and transit plans for DC look a lot more like what Dallas built.

Remember when Millennials were blamed for killing everything. Turns out they were being framed and it was actually Private Equity. www.ocregister.com/2025/12/31/s...

Ive got about 100 of the cities for the Atlas of Inner City Highway Impacts are done. Essentially E thru S are ready to go.

It's almost as if erasing the value of proximity in real estate via highways while devaluing all of downtown with those same highways is bad for downtown. If only somebody had been saying this for past 20 years.

The dinosaurs are now attacking the Bluey house.

The internet!

having been in the sunken 'suites' at these new NFL stadiums, it's a terrible way to watch a game.

Tenet Media founder Lauren Chen, who secretly took money from two people with ties to Russian state media to involve conservative influencers in an unwitting propaganda scheme, is back in the US after being deported to Canada under President Biden. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

what if all tv just drifted to lowest common denominator

Drove past this site and was curious what was happening. Terrible adjacencies on all four sides. Costly office to resi redev. If it were me, I would focus on some ground up stick residential/mixed-use to create the place and cash flow until the towers make sense. www.dallasnews.com/business/rea....

correct.

1 - the exec branch can't decline to spend $ Congress appropriated 2- the fed govt can't use federal $ to extort states over policy/political disagreements 3-the fed govt can't use federal $ to impose conditions unrelated to the funding program 4-the fed govt can't use federal $ to coerce states

When I heard of the Kansas stadium finance deal, I thought it was going to have to be a huge area for a sales tax value capture play. And well, it is huge.

Americans, crippled by fear and xenophobia. Many such cases.

Here's a downloadable link to the 60 MINUTES piece that Trump's enablers at Paramount's CBS refused to air. Share it far and wide. Thanks @jasonparis.bsky.social for posting. #60Minutes

Anybody want to watch the 60 Minutes CECOT piece that got spiked? It was aired in Canada. youtu.be/IIm66Tsao8s?...

For years, people have lodged complaints about Tesla’s doors. With no official statistics, Bloomberg did its own analysis on the number of fatal crashes in the US in which door functionality played a role. Read more: bloom.bg/49tm0fF 📷️: Getty Images

Yes, everybody is twelve years old. But nobody is as twelve as this person.

First draft of the explainer sheet for the Atlas of Inner-City Highway Impacts:

Working theory: I-95 should have tunneled tolls running under each of the coastal Connecticut towns.

Make America Stagflate Again

Some people are in favor of compulsory national service. Me? I believe all Americans should have to go live somewhere else for a while.

The dude who made an electric car guy YouTube channel I used to watch moved from San Diego to Madrid this year. In his first video I’ve seen about the move, he opens by saying “let me tell you, the Urbanists are 100% right” and goes on to extoll how much walkability has improved his family’s lives

Sounds like the permitting process

How do people live north of Loop 12(NW Hwy)? Occasionally I have medical appointments up there and it is nothing but all-encompassing traffic and traffic noise.

While laying off teachers all over the state due to inadequate state funding.

"We are not going to put any thought whatsoever into this site plan."

Is this the Texas Miracle?

what are things that happen when too much money is in too few hands and they run out of things to do with it and end up in reckless speculation, for 2000 Alex?

You don't say

I don't think we should sacrifice the one planet in the known universe that can support life for a longshot bet on a miserable if not impossible life on Mars.

"How much does it actually cost to be car dependent?" This Dallas-based analyst set out to answer that question for cities across the U.S.

I would like to have a word with both those who plan races around town and those who approve the routes that trap people without adequate detours.

Im gonna need to see the math on this. x.com/factpostnews...

Here is @thetexanrhino.bsky.social on the DART pull-out elections. May I add that it is very frustrating to hear suburban cities say they don't get the value that they pay in. We have spent 40 years building red blue green orange and silver lines and we carry extraordinary debt for doing so...

Impatiently waiting for the Is to come up so I can gawk at Indy's numbers.

when everything is deregulated these are the monsters to emerge from the primordial soup.

Looking at the State Farm office complex at CityLine. Doesnt look like the tops of these garages ever see much utilization.

Considering doing a remote work-from-the-train day in the near future.

Ever get the feeling that too many of one generation learning to code will compel the next generation to learn to farm, hunt, craft, fix, make fire...

A website showing the impact of building highways through the middle of US cities, measuring things such as air pollution, property taxes lost, and more. Many of these mid-20th century mistakes can, and should be reversed.

I would love if more of these local stories popped up in the commentary.
