When @parkingreform.org rebuilt the @strongtowns.org parking minimums map, there were 180 reports on a google map. Today it's a custom web-app with 4,200+ records and a backend that can extend an scale to chart the movement! Celebrate success and learn more at this webinar. luma.com/kcvk91yg

There are supposedly serious people who support this and then feel like it’s out of bounds to ask them why they are so fucking stupid or evil. Don't let them off the hook.

An excellent reminder that the best way to fix roads isn’t endless repairs, but rethinking how often - and why - we drive.

I also learned last night that “trump” is another word for fart, in British English, and it’s obviously a media conspiracy that we haven’t been told this before.

I’m gonna get a bunch of fake Nobel peace prize challenge coins made so I can present them sarcastically to Trump supporters.

Reminds me a lot of laws restricting e-bikes while cars keep killing and maiming folks.

Angles, metes, and bounds! Oh my!

There are supposedly serious people who support this and then feel like it’s out of bounds to ask them why they are so fucking stupid or evil.

When Tesla built a gas station in the bar parking lot across from my house I reached out to my DSA district city council people and the staff told me that it’s a “private business” so there was nothing the city could do about it. Such praxis.

Boom. Boom. Boom. All day and all night. Fuck all cars.

Turns out a cheese pizza in Oregon costs about 7 dollars less in 2024 than in 2023 and that says to me that the pizza price report is ragebait. www.sliceoftheunion.com/pizza-index

It’s a crime to post a graph without a source link. Go directly to jail. Don’t pass go. No pizza for you.

Not to dunk, but high pizza shop wages is almost certainly the primary reason pizza costs so much in Oregon.

Oregon is a pizza and a pizza joint employee paradise.

The city of Portland permitted a Tesla supercharging gas station in the bar parking lot across from my house and now I get to hear extremely loud bass at all hours from out of state drivers putting money in nazi musk pocket. I hope that all of my city councilmembers get their own gas station too.

No one who voted for this should ever live it down socially. Like even if you “get along” with a Trump voter you should constantly refer to and tease them for being a loser and a chump.

Suburban sprawl was invented in an era when seniors simply *did not exist*: US life expectancy in 1950 was just 68. Transportation and housing policy in sprawling suburbs are not at all prepared for what happens next.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Even a doomed-to-fail impeachment effort offers Democrats some distinct advantages. Remember: Democrats are in a content-creation war with the Trump regime. There’s no reason an impeachment effort can’t be a kaleidoscopic panoply of Trumpian misdeeds presented to the public. trib.al/YciVpTR

Is there something special about being in a car that gives ICE the authority to attack you? I’ve see so many videos of them breaking windows of cars. I know we have no laws anymore but are they tackling observer/protesters on foot or bike too?

Portland is getting more car brained by the minute.

I’ve been yelling “did you not learn from what just happened?” at drivers who menace me while I’m walking or riding around, but it’s not changing their behavior.

If I did this in front of a group who cheered my pain with this amount of gusto, I would be in therapy for years

I can’t stop…

An actual cap on credit card interest rates is great if you want to restrict credit access for millions of people I guess. Now a 1% cap on transaction fees I can get behind even though it would destroy the stupid points games I personally benefit from.

Should we just assume that anyone who’s making money posting on X probably has AI child pornography on their phone? Not saying they view that content intentionally, but it IS the child porn app right?

half mile round trip bike ride to the grocery store and I could have justifiably shot three people if we’re playing by ICE rules.

We don’t need a left Joe Rogan we need a left version of how the right wing finds their evil exemplars and supports and platforms them.

For any legislative staff out there copying from WA generally excellent SB 5184 - call @citizen-cate.bsky.social and check on what NOT to copy over.

California (AB2097) crawled so Colorado (HB24-1304) & Washington (SB 5184) could walk. Colorado and Washington walked so Connecticut (HB 8005) could run. Connecticut ran so North Carolina (HB 369) and Virginia (HB262) could fly. Parking reform movement gonna spread it's wings and see you in the sky.

Looking for a little bit of good news? Delegate Shelly Simonds just introduced a bill (HB262) in the Virginia General Assembly that would prohibit minimum parking mandates for any building, new or existing, in the state. Just one of ~7 similar bills we expect this session @parkingreform.org

If getting “almost run over” is justification for shooting someone then I could have legally shot half the drivers I’ve ever encountered.

No compliance of directions without cop ID. If you want me to listen to you then show me something other than the patch you wear from eBay otherwise you’re trying to rob or kidnap me.

The IBR will cost as much as $17.7 billion, more than double the previous max. cost of $7.5 billion, according to documents unearthed by City Observatory. cityobservatory.org/17-7-billion...

Republicans in multiple states passed laws that immunize people who drove into protesters. Rightist outlet The Daily Caller once made a video cheering people who drove into protestors These sh*tbags are taking their infatuation with vehicular violence and trying to pin it on us.

"Mr. Trump said he wanted Congress to stop private equity firms and other large investors from buying more single-family homes, a position with populist appeal that has long failed to gain broader traction." Good maybe we can stop blaming this bogeyman as a screen for NIMBY BS.

ICE murdering someone named Good is just...

She clearly says "go around" she wasn't even trying to block these pigs.

PLEASE WAKE ME UP THIS CAN'T BE REAL LIFE.

"We built an extraordinarily efficient system for a particular moment in history, and then kept optimising it long after its side effects outweighed its benefits." This is a really good piece on the origins and outcomes of the suburban experiment. challengercities.substack.com/p/escaping-t...

This skeletor ass mofo.

I've got to wonder whether @davidzipper.bsky.social has ever actually seen a human drive a car? I understand and agree with many of the AV concerns, but c'mon man - "self-driven cars make mistakes that humans would not, such as plowing into flood water..." Just do a search for "driver drowns."

C’mon man. Humans drive into flood water all the time!

Billions of dollars to ODOT for continued endless polluting freeway expansions, while TriMet and other transit agencies across the state prepare for massive service cuts. A profound public policy failure of Oregon government. #orpol #orleg

Idiocracy was optimistic.

If you like how things are going keep driving your car!

This is the way.

Good! Better would be to raise them 10 times and actually provide some public transportation to our state parks. apple.news/ATJUhCwa8TwW...

The pent up demand for a better life is humongous.

Everyone who drives someone to or from the airport should pay a fee - not just ride hail drivers and passengers.
