The great minds (LOL) of @abundanthousingil.bsky.social at the Great Cities Institute 30th anniversary celebration at UIC.

Thanksgiving weight gain: 2 pounds.

Breathless coverage of one person injured, not killed, on a CTA train, vs. a brief on Page 9 when two people are killed on the road. That’s because road death happens ALL THE TIME - 3 1/2 road fatalities per day in Illinois. It looks like the number of transit riders killed this year is one …

Good news: The beautiful Brazilian boy is coming to visit me from Orlando. Better news:

Naperville, Illinois, hello! This date in 2013, I interviewed Mary Clingman, head of the Butterball Turkey Talk hotline. As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly! 🦃 #Radio #News #Thanksgiving

No more bike rack at the Jewel, 1220 S. Ashland Ave. It’s gone. We have to use a sign pole now. 🙁🚲🚲🚲 #BikeChi @bikegridnow.org @chicagobikesox.com @chicritmass.bsky.social @betterstreetschicago.org

Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

"For decades, civil engineers designed transportation systems in the United States assuming that everybody has a car. This thinking is changing ... but we have a legacy system that supposes only the desperate aren’t driving." #Trains www.hsrail.org/blog/the-mar...

The archbishop of Chicago has spoken.

"We are in the dust of Asia, Europe and Africa when it comes to train speed, and we will fall further behind unless we start a program of aggressively building high-speed passenger rail lines in the United States." www.hsrail.org/blog/china-t...

"Living near a transit station is a top priority. This preference translates into a higher willingness to pay for properties that offer such convenience, thus driving up their market value." @metroplanning.bsky.social #RealEstate www.hsrail.org/blog/transit...

It must’ve been bicycles 🚲🚲🚲 that knocked down this traffic light (1660 W. Madison St.) and drove through this iron fence (1630 W. Ogden Ave.). So dangerous 🤨. #BikeChi #CarsRuinCities #BanCars @bikegridnow.org @chicritmass.bsky.social @betterstreetschicago.org

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

If you’re willing to throw trans people, people of color, and/or the unhoused under the bus while praising white nationalists, I don’t care what your opinion is on literally anything.

Good fvckin’ grief, the Edgewater NIMBYs’ argument is TrAfFiC and pArKiNg. These people are stuck in the 1970s. They want Chicago to decay and decline. Go live in Carol Stream, where there’s plenty of parking, and leave Chicago for people who like other people. @abundanthousingil.bsky.social

Evidence that drivers have no idea what a crosswalk is. This is HBK Engineering, on site to perform underground utility work at 1700 W. Washington Blvd. The driver easily could have parked four feet to the west and not blocked the crosswalk, but to the driver, the crosswalk does not exist.
