I have a new piece up (first with @NiskanenCenter!) The federal government spends billions of dollars on transit each year. What can the feds do to get more on the dollar? Two things: - Create an Army Corp for transit projects - Incentivize legalizing housing near transit
Left is row house blocks of south Philadelphia, population density of about 16,000 people/sq mile. Right is mixed-use multifamily neighborhood of south Stockholm, population density of 33,000 people/sq mile. Stockholm is twice as dense and has twice as much private green…
The Chairman of @PANYNJ is a Chris Christie appointee whose term expired in 2023. @GovMurphy never bothered to replace him and neither @Jack4NJ or @MikieSherrill seem to know or care that PATH exists and it carries more riders between New York and New Jersey than NJTransit.

Tons of Americans were asking for Direct File. It's an incredibly popular idea. And Republicans are killing it because tax preparers don't like the competition.

It cannot be emphasized enough that the JCPOA had Iran's nuclear program contained and did so without a war. We had this under control and Trump blew it up.
We should be making our cities as dense as we possibly can so that we can save our farms and natural land from suburban sprawl. Land conservation legit one of the biggest reasons why I’m a YIMBY.

A Taiwanese urban planner once told me how confusing it is that Americans are these people obsessed with freedom and property rights yet their zoning system is the top-down and most anti-flexible he's ever seen in a developed nation.

We've become completely desensitized to it but it's genuinely unreal how corrupt this admin is. Tinpot dictatorship stuff. Yes, that is the US Attorney General getting paid $1.38M to lobby on behalf of Qatar, and yes she did approve a $400M private jet as a gift.
~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline. That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production. Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.
NJ and NY are notable laggards here, especially for places with such expensive housing.

Suburban sprawl in Hawaii is cursed on an entirely new level. One thing to sprawl across the vast fields of Texas, but doing this to Hawaii? Nightmare.
republicans in montana are currently passing more progressive, sustainable, pro-housing legislation than democratic supermajorities in New York and California

I haven't endorsed politicians on here before, but mail-in voting has started for governor, and if you live in urban NJ (especially in Hudson County), if you take transit, if you care about statewide housing reform, it's clear you should vote for Steve Fulop. Here's why:
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200k/year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.
These are not political news cycle issues. Trump is transforming what the United States is as a country in the world into a far right, authoritarian, transactional, valueless oligarchy aligned with the world's autocracies.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office. Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy. Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with…
