The Embankment cycleway (CS3) in London was purposefully built to be wider than was usual in order to future proof it. Some said it would hardly be used. Now there’s a decent case for widening it further.
Blue states please, I'm begging you to build housing

California is on track to lose Congressional seats. We are aging as a state—all because we aren't building housing. California should be a place where graduates, seniors, families and workers can afford to live and thrive. That will take building much more housing, much quicker.
Everyone upset the Acela runs as slow as Japan’s 1970s trains: Amtrak had a plan 15 years ago to straighten tracks in CT & RI. A few thousand locals killed it, costing us 25 minutes of time savings between Boston and NYC for decades to come.

American streets are super wide and dangerous because our firefighters insist on it so they can drive huge, expensive custom fire trucks that don’t actually work better than smaller, cheaper trucks. Saying this out loud makes me sound like a crazy person, but it’s true!

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.

The second biggest city in the world’s largest economy voted against allowing apartments to be built next to multi-billion dollar subway investments. Such a laughable city at this point.

Being Canadian isn’t about whining that you can’t stroll in the woods during a fire ban. It’s about knowing when to shut it down for the greater good. The real danger is leaders like Tobi who worship “freedom at all costs” even if it means watching the province burn.

Cannot emphasise how bad this is. Our costs for electrification are dire entirely because we only do it in boom and bust bursts. If you have to train a workforce of 1000s every time you want to do a project it’s always going to lead to cost blowouts as they start from scratch!

The entire western water crisis is solved by just not growing alfalfa in the desert. It's 68% of Utah's *entire* diverted water consumption.
This is explicitly racist. A white guy in 2017 committed the deadliest mass shooting in US history. Does that mean it would be a disgrace to have a white man as president now? Of course not. No logic, just racist propaganda and vibes

Abundance agenda and progressive politics fucking works guys. The state should do things for you and we should make it easier for the state to do things for you. Easy as.
What's frustrating about this screen door situation in Toronto is that while it does cost money up front, the reports literally state that even at the high prices we would pay in Toronto. They would save money in the long term! That's the type of investment we should be making!
