Everyone should read this, from the best writer in the transit/urbanism space

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Spoon man, I’m together with your plan

New for the Nebulized: I read every comment on my recent Vegas Loop video. The end result? Enormous psychic pain for me, and a brand new video for you nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Pretty cool tbh

"How I view myself anyways is as just another human being, I just happen to play baseball. Taking the train is just what New Yorkers do, and I want to be that," he told me

We need you to give the governor a call. Take a minute to take action and let his office know why a better future is still possible.

I don’t understand why people keep referring to the thing on the thumbnail image as anything other than “The Spheres.” Get a grip! Sometimes two spherical objects at the base of a tower are just two spherical objects at the base of a tower youtu.be/oLayDwvANyc

Wait, the Nashville Tesla tunnel isn’t going to open in 2026??? This is a shocking development

He doesn’t miss (literally)

CityNerd's latest video calls out the L8, our race, and SDOT's latest announcement! It's available now on Nebula but should also be available on YouTube in a few days!

RAN after this driver to take a picture of his incredible vest!!! I want one so bad but he said they’re only available for MTA workers 🏆🚍🏆

New for the Nebulized: why yes, I did go to South Lake Union, why do you ask? nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

In the last @nerd4cities.bsky.social video, he joked that Portland is not really known for being an affordable city and I had to laugh because to us in California, that is absolutely what Portland is known for

Portland is BACK

Why do people who never go to cities get so upset about them? I drove through rural Georgia once, didn't like it. I haven't been back, problem solved.

It’s popular with people who not only don’t live in cities, but despise them

OH: if vaccines caused autism, we’d have way more trains in the United States

Our Life After Cars live show with @nerd4cities.bsky.social in Seattle is sold out two months ahead of time! The venue added a livestream option if you missed out or would like to watch from the comfort of home: ticketing.townhallseattle.org/events/0197c...

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

Holy moly. Our "Life After Cars" book event and live show with @nerd4cities.bsky.social on November 5th in Seattle is SOLD OUT! www.lifeaftercars.com

New for the Nebulized — I analyzed the US metro areas where you get the best walkability, bikeability and transit for your housing dollar. It’s a wild ride nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

“Automobiles have produced far more cumulative damage in the world, in terms of death, illness, and environmental destruction, than nearly any other invention in human history,” argue the co-creators of The War on Cars podcast, in this incisive account... This will inspire anti-car activists."

Kenji and Ray talking food, urbanism, and the future of Pike Place Market—a crossover event you won’t want to miss.

Relevant to…tons of stuff, but right now I’m thinking of Pike Place

We filmed at First & Pike with @kenjilopezalt.bsky.social and @nerd4cities.bsky.social, talking about the Pike Place Market limited vehicle access test pilot and what it could mean for the future of Seattle’s most iconic public space. Future video in the works. Stay tuned for updates. 👀

Spent a lot of time observing Denny this week. If people willingly endure 30 minutes of delay (as the model suggests) when there are so many other travel options, don’t they just have themselves to blame? Also, Seattle congestion pricing when

"People who haven’t been to the Market since the car cutoff should give it a try. Shoppers no longer have to constantly hop around to avoid cars...Walking on the cobbles feels like a neighborhood experience, not an I-might-get-clipped-by-a-bumper gamble. It just feels friendlier." Do you agree?

When in Seattle

Related, this was basically the end of Twitter for me. Cool to see it’s actually happening now

Honestly, not the worst thing they could be doing with their time. But if this counts as a deployment, as I assume it does, this might be the most expensive trash collection scheme in human history.

This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.

I would pay to read this, cowards

Game on.

I don’t endorse going back on Twitter for any reason, but the second sentence is 100% correct

hell yeah

Florida government sides with the Pulse shooter

Absolutely shameful. Did they paint over St. Pete’s in the dead of night too? Utter cowards

Someone hacked a variable message sign to say "BAN CARS" on Green Bay Road in Wilmette, IL.

Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.

This is a great video by @nerd4cities.bsky.social about Pacific Northwest high speed rail. The big issue for US transit is our rails are privately owned, meaning we are one of only a few developed countries which cannot incrementally improve passenger rail. nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

New for the Nebulized! New York to DC in 29 minutes, any day now nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

Vegas deserves so much better. Always a great conversation with @oyvegas.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

"Which brings us to the real reason why Trump is an enemy of urban America. If cities like D.C. and Los Angeles truly were crime-ridden hellholes, they would pose little threat to the MAGA movement. It is because these are prosperous and dynamic places that they must be occupied."
