NYC people: @suryamattu.com, @mariepastora.bsky.social and I will be talking about our NJ Transit/NYC commuter rail story on Nov 5. Hope to see some of you there! www.meetup.com/transit-tech...

Amsterdam might never have become a city if not for climate change. But the city's secret sauce is that it turned its greatest challenges into advantages, @feargusosull.bsky.social and Charlotte Hughes-Morgan explain in this great piece.

Ross Douthat writes that by bulldozing the White House without permission Trump is cutting red tape in an Abundance-y way. It's true, you don't want historic federal reviews for every new townhome. But you do want historic federal reviews for White House additions! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/o...

HUD laid off so many fair housing investigators on Friday that it shuttered the regional offices that oversee discrimination cases in 9 states: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remarkable story about a wave of foreclosures in Baltimore triggered by incomprehensible DSCR loan activity from New York investors. This @thebaltimorebanner.com story reads like the sixth season of "The Wire": www.thebanner.com/community/ho...

Chaque année, 1 500 kilomètres carrés de nature et de terres agricoles disparaissent sous les constructions en Europe. À l’aide d’images satellites et d’un modèle d’intelligence artificielle, nous révélons l’ampleur et les conséquences de cette artificialisation massive. #GreenToGrey

The amazing thing about the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on AI development is it doesn't even include all the externalized costs like higher electricity prices for hundreds of millions of people.

Housing Secretary Scott Turner wants to build-baby-build. But so far his tenure at HUD has looked more like slash-slash-slash — with plunging numbers for staff, grants and proposed funding. @sarahholder.bsky.social and I profiled Turner and his unorthodox agenda: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

In a new excerpt from "The Unfinished Metropolis," I lay out the book's high-level argument: American cities are stuck in a mid-20th century pattern of urban development. As a result, we've been unable to tame the enormous challenges that this pattern perpetuates.

ICYMI: NYC has three commuter railroads. Two of them run (more or less) fine. One does not. Read our data investigation into NJ Transit, using live location data from more than 190,000 trains. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

NJ Transit is much worse than all other commuter rails in the NYC area. @agordon.me and @suryamattu.com collected and analyzed many weeks of transit feeds to quantify how bad (and it includes angry emojis). www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

What happens when government disinvests from public transit? Commutes get longer & more frustrating. A NJ Transit case study from me, @suryamattu.com and @mariepastora.bsky.social : www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

NJ Transit's official data makes it difficult to tell just how bad it is. So @suryamattu.com and I spent three months collecting the raw location data for more than 190,000 trains on NJT, Metro-North, and LIRR. Then @mariepastora.bsky.social made the graphics to show you. The answer: Very bad.

American cities have stagnated. Residential neighborhoods, transportation systems, and commercial districts have changed little in 50+ years. My new book, "The Unfinished Metropolis," explores how that happened — and how to fix it. Preorder now: shorturl.at/PInVb

From the vantage point of the US, you might think a WFH slump for transit was inevitable. But data from around the world shows that's not true. What a treat to work w/ @agordon.me on this definitive guide to the data, w/ graphics by the great @mariepastora.bsky.social

The NYPD has quietly changed its enforcement policy towards bicyclists, slapping them with criminal summonses instead of regular traffic tickets for low-level offenses such as passing through red lights or not stopping at a stop sign.
