Should transit be free? I'll let you know in my latest. youtu.be/kUxZFz6XUw0

It was around 3% in Red Vienna and RV is my baseline

We shouldn't live our lives based on Victorian proverbs nor should we plan out a socialist future using neoliberal anti-poor policies. Where do these two things intersect? At the 30% rule - the idea that housing is affordable as long as it's under 30% of your income. youtu.be/ilVjEv91adE

this is a lifestylist-ass website

im a starving child starving to death and this is the very last thing i have ever read. gootbye.

pretty sure i saw jim e brown an hour ago and am still shook about it and none of my friends understand why because i didn’t tell them about my parasocial deep dive into an unknown post punk musician committed to his own bit. and he made a vid at stargazy on passyunk?? youtu.be/MeK3L6VSm4M?...

is it more vindicating or more depressing that all of the most heinous people i've coordinated with at FTA are delighted to tell us environmental justice is dead? my career has taught me that believing transit should not exist and working for a transit agency are not mutually exclusive things.

*study shows that increases in market rate development do not result in increases in affordability for low cost units* elizabeth warren: we are going to pay developers to build more market rate units!

The neoliberals who got us to this place—whose triangulation and capitulation undermined progress for the working class—now think we should “roll over and play dead” rather than vigorously fight these fascists. I don’t know why anyone still listens to these pundits of yesterday.

solo trips to the used bookstore >>>>

do the yimby underlings notice that every one of their thought leaders is coming out against trans rights and immigration or are they ignoring what’s in front of them like always?

lot of liberals on this site who think that further restricting democracy will help them restore their world order. hate it here.

andy you’re a star

i got into a niche hobby and have been watching tons of vids by small channels on youtube. awesome to see so many creators who are making videos for the love of the hobby. but now the algo is giving me a lot of micro channels (under 500 subs) that solely discuss how to be successful on youtube.

feels so nice to be seen as useful to capitalists! keep spending! this is queer liberation!

trying to be a vintage camcorder guy

almost every post i see on here has in some part the spirit of that "ruthkanda forever" tweet

things are bad right now for sure, but things have been bad for decades- for longer even. please take care of yourself but remember that neoliberalism (and fascism) depend on you becoming demobilized by its spectacle. try to find your role.

“one day more” zoom call grid

this site is easily the most libbed up place on the internet right now, but i’m still taken aback by how many bluesky users seem to think that if we could bring the government back to what it was 2 months ago then everyone would have a good life again.

the Brutalist made me want to quit my job

i have two (2) videos, each over thirty minutes long on my patreon right now, consider checking them out for just $3 a month! patreon.com/RadicalPlann...

how many toxically positive and ahistorical skeets must i endure on this site?

A yimby block list. :)

i just want to be paid to read my little books all day

are you bored today? spend an hour with me while i discuss how American urban planning cannot solve the problems of neoliberal capitalism because American urban planning IS neoliberal capitalism.

ok, watch it: youtu.be/HVLdF6ib04E

doing the final checks on my video now. releasing around noon should everything go well

listen!!

unfortunately i think im going to pull out Leviathan in my next video to explain why liberals fight systemic change lol

just so all my new followers are aware - I am an alternative transportation (bike/ped/transit) and land use planner BUT i’m also vehemently anti-YIMBY. I do not think the market will solve the housing crisis. feel free to unfollow!

communal hat

my next video is coming soon - sometime next week. i’ve been working on this video since May 2024 and the ideas i share in it are so wrapped up into me at this point that i hardly know what to say about it. but let’s talk about how to define what urban planning IS.

about to combine my yuppie obsession with my love of research

i hate diners (wet food) but i am fascinated by their role in urban life

seeing jerus*lem dems*s’ name on multiple “justice” and “equity” urbanist bsky starter packs does not give me hope that this is a platform of critical thinkers or serious people.

i feel like it would be so out of character for me to tweet about urban planning again lol

clicked “show less like this” on maybe 45 dog introductions so far and they just keep coming. how can i make this site tolerable?

why are there so many personified dog accounts on here? is that where all the bluesky codes went? doggo ass website

the longer i spend on this site the more i am reminded of how talking heads describe heaven as a boring ass “place where nothing ever happens”

working hard on my next video

someone needs to give SEPTA a bluesky code so I can get mad at them over here

thanksgiving cooking youtube is giving me life rn

I had like 15 followers the last time I was on here lol

reading “the science of ‘muddling through’” for the first time because i just started taking graduate school seriously ten years later

For my latest video, I'm joined by two planners to discuss how to adopt a radical planning framework. Whether you're a planner or not, anyone who works with communities could benefit from the conversation! youtu.be/jjQUlg_cSZc
