Quick sub tweet for those who need the info: You don't build transit for the purpose of addressing car congestion. You build housing near rail (and bus) to focus new trips on a different type of traffic. But data shows that "solving congestion" is not something transit does.
"Engineers think of traffic as a liquid... if it gets clogged up, build a bigger pipe. In fact, the evidence shows the traffic functions much more like a gas, which is to say it expands to take up" the space. Loved this discussion w/ @megankimble #txlege douglewin.com/p/induced-dema…
Incredible crowd for Critical Mass tonight.
Tons of people correctly intuit that there's something uniquely broken about housing markets, but lay blame on red herrings: - "it's because housing is a basic human need" - "corporate landlords are buying all the houses" - "landlords leave units vacant to get higher rents" 1/2
Atlanta should legalize this.

I love how for half a century we've been told that there's 'no demand for rail', yet a private company finds connecting major cities by rail so obvious that they're spending billions to do it.
As long as the car is king - food deserts will continue to exist. So what do we do?

@mwgarbett @andreforatlanta Total abdication of leadership. He is too afraid to commit to rail but his legacy will be that of a one-term mayor who doomed transit expansion for a generation. What a loser -- one I unfortunately voted for.
So cutting through some of the noise, the anti-transit folks are showing their political muscle. Pro-transit folks need to show similar political muscle, not just complain. This is what union organizers call a "stress test". How strong is your org when it matters?

Why trams are the best ➡️ Reduces traffic by carrying more passengers per unit of space ➡️ Produces less pollution and are more energy-efficient per passenger ➡️ Encourages more active lifestyles ➡️ Objectively looks cool ➡️ Are threatening to car manufacturers (see US history)
Will Atlanta finish what it started? After his MARTA infill station announcement & support of the Streetcar East Extension, Mayor Dickens seemed to support light rail. Now seeming uncommitted, does he want to be Transportation Mayor or Folding Chair Mayor? tinyurl.com/FoldingChairMa…

in case anyone forgot, the following beltline businesses are against beltline rail - Ladybird Grove and Mess Hall/Ranger Station - Muchacho - Electric Events catering - Rathbun Steak - KR Steakbar - Two Urban Licks - Bully Boy - Tap - Lingering Shade Social Club - The Ice Box
Let’s be clear here, @billtorpy doesn’t take transit and his opinion on anything regarding transit should be ignored.

Hive mind... what was the first major event the streetcar wasn't closed for in Downtown Atlanta?
@LilianaforATL Actually, just adding a few indicators (paint on asphalt, perhaps a sign) might go a long way toward solving at least some of this? Any idea what @ATLDOT's timeline is for this, if they have one?
Hi again, @LilianaforATL! Now that the dust has settled (I hope?) from 420 Fest, hope you might be able to engage on this one. (Clifton St. SE near I-20 overpass.)

Pushback against #Atlanta BeltLine density is becoming officially official. 😲
@tkotak013 @mwgarbett The NIMBYs are fighting 900 units. They will fight 1,400 units. Even with less parking. It's not about anything rational, just the general fear of change.
@cbenderatl @MidtownATL This entire block ought to be multitudes denser from an objective urban planning perspective
@cbenderatl @MidtownATL East of Piedmont needs to be upzoned immediately, NIMBY’s be damned. At least removing current height limits and zoning restrictions, to allow the free market to thrive, paying homeowners for their properties. There is no reason some of the best fabric should be SFH
on the occasions I happen to pass by this mural im like thats literally atlurbanist
There are really no good transit solutions for Clayton, w/ county leadership unwilling to push land use reforms, Norfolk Southern acting like a selfish child, and GDOT unwilling to convert a single lane for transit priority. This entire project is a mess. bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2…
Drivers who use the emergency shoulder lane to skip traffic during rush-hour should lose their licenses and have their cars impounded.
King Memorial -> Inman Park is only 5 minutes. Do we really have to have the green line bump on maps + confuse riders to save the cost of running one train set on nights, weekends?
@norgepab @dbclass18 It's bewildering to me--like I could almost understand if the gren line terminated at five points, but the decision to go to king memorial and no further just seems strange, especially since inman park is such a bus hub for people connecting to the north and south on moreland.
Atlanta really should start filling in these in-in-town SFH patches with dense urban fabric. Midtown to PCM should feel contiguous
When will it end? And we wonder why kids don’t play outside anymore…

You think there are bad protests at Emory? We'll bring it!!! We're coming for the "Highlanders". Va Highland residents don't own Amsterdam Walk, Portman does and the area is zoned for density. Move to Milton if you don't like density.

So frustrating to see urban street infrastructure framed as recreation. Yes, I ride on these “trails” for my health because getting flattened by a Rivian would be deleterious for my health. Anyway… take this stupid survey y’all. Dumb questions can still yield useful answers.

Just got off the red line shuttle at Lindbergh. Seeing the confused faces and airport passengers knowing they’re gonna have second linear transfer is so ugh. RUN THE RED LINE!
Ah, #Atlanta. The city of Dr. King, where you can find John Lewis and other civil rights leaders on walls; where we have marketed ourselves as the 'Beloved Community' will ALSO get you caught up on RICO charge or deliver a beatdown should you actually practice King's principles.

Micro pods are not a solution that jives with this volume of capacity. It’s basic math.
"the US birth rate is dropping because Democrats" is insane I'm polarized heavily against Republicans but I'm not this braindead
The US birth rate is dropping because Democrats continue to work to make life so miserable, expensive, and hopeless for US citizens that they will forego having children, or only have 1 or 2 at the most, because they don't believe they can afford to properly take care of them.…
