The best time to start charging for parking was about 1945 but the second best is today.

For the second time this year, Connecticut has sent the nations most expansive statewide parking minimum reform to Governor Lamont. This time he's planning to sign it. westportjournal.com/government/h...

Dropped by this morning, and this same restaurant expanded their outdoor seat even more into the old parking lot... @parkingreform.org

Calling a bank about a payment mistake. "There's a 3 minute wait, would you like is to call you back? Press 1 to get a call back, press 2 to stay on the line, press three to learn more about call back." Presses 2 "Press 1 to learn more about call back. Press 3 to stay on hold."

I'm thinking about the protest over the poor kitty that ran under a Waymo. The argument against the autonomous vehicle is that a human driver has object permanence and would have seen the cat run under the car and gotten out to check. Do you believe that? I don't.

What is @pbotinfo.bsky.social doing to encourage people to visit downtown in the winter by a mode other than personal death box?

Maybe we should just try claiming we won no matter what? Works for them.

Get 'em!

@jamellebouie.net how bad would it be (or would it really be bad) if the GOP nuked the filibuster to re-open the government and completely own their bullshit?

This is really grim. But have you ever had to park your car half a block further than you wanted to? www.cbsnews.com/news/dolphin...

Walkability is making a comeback in the U.S. (and Phoenix)

I hear all the time that the @parkingreform.org weekly newsletter is one that folks really look forward to getting! If you're not on our list yet, why not? mailchi.mp/parkingrefor...

Excellent work Rep. Ansari.

If I didn't live in California I'd move to Illinois.

Hey, hey, ho, ho, Driving solo's gotta go, Those parking perks just ain’t fair, We want cash now! make it square!  Parking, parking, time for change! Fix our bikes, fix our chains! Parking, parking, time for change! Buses on time, ain't that strange?

Same rally. Same megaphone. ☺️

Is there any reason Democrats with GOP senators shouldn't start calling them to demand they blow up the filibuster to re-open the government?

End the filibuster to reopen the government and deny healthcare subsidies to 10s of millions of Americans, GOP.

Yes, it is true. www.grassrootinstitute.org/2025/10/long...

Zohran is a Shoupista.

Keeping cars out of places for people requires constant vigilance. nypost.com/2025/10/29/u...

musk did another unspeakable, inexcusable racism that i'm not gonna spread around but delete your twitter no money for musk no money for nazis

As long as there is an option to redevelop or not build the parking in the first place, this is great. But if South Korea has parking mandates, this is greenwashing.

Bought tickets to a NYC Broadway show next month and Stubhub sent me an email asking if I was stupid!* *They sent an email asking if I'd be driving to the show.

If you'd like to hear more of what I have to say about parking (and maybe a few other things) heres another chance!

Wow. Dan Ryan, our most embarrassing local elected, says he was so bad at his job as commissioner of parks that he wants to defund the whole system. Why do we keep electing this guy? www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

💯

Your city has eliminated parking minimums. Now what? Hear from planners and community leaders from across the U.S. share their experiences navigating next steps after major parking reforms. Join the conversation on Nov. 18 ucla.zoom.us/meeting... #UCLATransportation100

Congratulations to IL on becoming the third state to pass state level Parking Reform in 2025! We’ve still got CT & NC on the clock which would get us to 5 in one year! Amazing work by @parkingreform.org & many others 🙌🙌

Listen, Zohran, it takes real governing chops to ineffectually introduce then fail on highway tolls, publicly flail on a housing bill and backstab your caucus, and randomly suggest regionalization with no plan at all, and oversee corrupt school construction officials ctmirror.org/2025/10/30/n...

Cool. They can move.

What a bizarre analogy in this Willamette Week article about Oregon property taxes. www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Cities - this is NOT the way! Please, don't try to "fill budget gaps" by arbitrarily raising meter prices and extending hours. Parking management should be to provide better access. Meters should IMPROVE the experience for parkers and raise money for other modes. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

I'm a bottom row BINGO.

Turns out the real political spectrum is just how people feel about free parking 😂 Tag yourself!

Do most Americans even know that Trump tore down the White House?

Checked out the Fox News website to see if there were White House photos. Nope. The top banner has Campus Radicals, Government Shutdown, Charlie Kirk (!!), and Trump News Top story is a fake scandal I never heard of. 7 stories down is Hawley comparing WH demo to removing confederate statues.

American airports love cars and parking. They hate transit and pedestrians.

This is a rough watch. Terrifying stuff. And terribly stupid too.

AAAAANNNNNNDDDD??????

All right, fellow sickos, I know you want to read how parking requirements and lot conditions from a local government make everything stupid-difficult to build a non-profit childcare, requiring *federal appropriations* to "solve." www.goskagit.com/anacortes/it...

I remember when people knew where they were going before they started the car.

Most cars on the road are driven by AI already. The average driver has no idea where they are going and mindlessly follow the directions of their chosen navigation.

I’m so proud of my fellow Portlanders and so disgusted with how our city is backsliding on transportation.

Some of Portland’s “business” associations have long been captured by semi-retired people who only have time to run the association because they don’t actually run a business.
