Cities aren't inherently loud places... It's the free rein we've given vehicles that makes them that way. 🔊🔊🔊 April 2020 🐦 ➡️ March 2021 🚗

Deterioration in IRS enforcement effort & information gathering is scandalous. ⁦@JoeBiden⁩ plan would make our tax system fairer, more efficient & raise more revenue than scorekeepers now forecast — likely a trillion dollars over 10 years. @nytimes nytimes.com/2021/04/27/bus…

More of a taunt: "it's easy to see that..." More of a challenge: "it's not difficult to show that...."

Yet another very, very, very good argument for installing platform screen doors. We really shouldn't be building any more underground transit without them. curbed.com/2021/02/mta-su…

To summarize, theoretical herd immunity is unrealistic and should not be the endgame. The endgame is the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines that virtually eliminates severe illness. And we are just a few months away from reaching that goal.

I will never stop saying that I am a housing truther. Our housing shortage crisis impacts almost everything we care about. * Increases poverty * Causes climate change * Increases inequality * Lowers dynamism, mobility, economic growth, & innovation * Expands racial wealth gaps

Ditto for infosec. No love for disaster prevention until something catastrophic happens.

I feel like I make myself unpopular by looking ahead 6-12 months & sketching out how things could evolve (best to worst case) so we work towards best case. This is public health. We try to avert future crises by anticipating & preventing them. Not the most fun at parties I know.

Distressing in its own right, but even more so when realizing that there are huge blocks of people who actually don't know better, and the extreme difficulty of connecting with them to correct bad faith nonsense like this.

Catching a newly-washed garment before it falls to the floor has always been grin-worthy. Magnified by ongoing monotony, this joy is cause for outright celebration.

The key question now is whether congressional Democrats facing purple or red electorates learned the lesson of 2010: You win reelection by delivering real benefits to people fast, not by shrinking and slowing bills that would improve lives in a performance of moderation.

So... cities would be more pleasant for everyone else (who exactly??) if all the young families just moved away??? Good luck with your “large” city 👍🏼

This kind of thinking, and particularly this line, is why I wrote the story I did yesterday about the ineffectiveness of cities setting 10 p.m. curfews and limiting gatherings to random numbers of people

Public health officials say curfews don't work—and they may even encourage more risky socialization inside private residences. Leaders should be issuing orders and guidance specific to the many holiday season challenges ahead of us, not 10 p.m. bedtimes. curbed.com/2020/11/curfew…
