There is a reason why the trucking lobby wasnt so sure running highways thru city centers was a good idea in the 1950s
If you live in a city with a consensus that multifamily residences and mass transit are for poor people your city will never experience what makes the world’s best cities such enjoyable and livable destinations.
The horrible flaw of car infrastructure is that if a lot of drivers want to go to one place there will *always* be congestion. To fix congestion you have to space a city's destinations out. In essence: you must destroy the city. That's how new highways "fix" congestion.

So we've adopted strict zoning rules to separate factories burning things from homes and schools, only to create 100's of millions of tiny moving factories that burn things. Bang up job guys 👏 latimes.com/environment/st…

Cool example of elite projection via @mattyglesias: Jamaica has only 55 cars per 1000 people, but they have minimum parking requirements for development. I would guess that while most Jamaicans don’t have cars, most Jamaican decisionmakers do.
The British experience says privatising the railway leads to higher ridership. Except most growth happened under emergency nationalisation. The French comparison suggests privatisation is not that big a deal. Except the French railway is now more privatised than the British one.
Frequent buses can't wait for infrequent trains. On a frequent line, the overwhelming consideration is to keep the vehicles evenly spaced. Another bus will be along soon.

It's always funny that some people think the New York City subway is some kind of hellscape, whereas in reality yesterday the older man next to me politely asked for help in correcting the time settings of his Apple Watch.

Portland's downtown public transit information center is inside of a fountain.
The London Times sent a reporter to ride the NYC subway for nearly 24 hours to see how dangerous it is. Her takeaway? “There’s a 100% correlation with people who don’t think the subway is safe and people who don’t take it often”

Something I didn't realize when I was a kid: institutions can decay. Institutions seem so permanent, but it turns out to be very easy for them to drift from their original mission. The ACLU, the NYT, the Better Business Bureau, the ADL, NPR, none of them are what they were.
Gun violence was rated as bigger stressor to young voters than their own job, their housing, and even student debt. In a poll of registered 18-29 y/o voters they rate concerns about gun violence as the number three thing stressing them out most.
Thriving humanities programs are one of the strongest marketplace signals to students and employers that a university is successful. Cutting the humanities signals that you are a place in decline.

If Paris can do it .....given how car clogged it was 10 years ago #Dublin can - but it takes leadership and a real sense of public participation. First step is to prioritise walkers/cyclists (trying walking from Ashtown train station across Navan Road to Phoenix Park).
Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. @MomentumMag momentummag.com/paris-to-showc…
Oh @DougJBalloon, the prophet that you are. #Swifties
Why do young women love Taylor Swift so much? Bret Stephens and Ross Douthat drop by to explain.
Joe Biden is a historically great president. Say it with passion backed by the conviction that it’s true. Because it is. trib.al/F594uOU
Ready for the weekend 💙 🐾
I beg you all to spend an hour of the weekend listening to @POTUS @JoeBiden on @HowardStern . We are extremely lucky to have this man as commander-in-chief. And for another 4 years. 🇺🇸❤️ siriusxm.com/blog/president…
North American cities, take note! BC just rezoned a mansion-only district beside our major university. Areas closest to transit are now open for apartment towers. Snob zoning is finally cracking.
All communities have a role to play to help solve the housing crisis - including the University Endowment Lands. Thank you to Minister @AnneKangMLA for your leadership to help enable 4-6 homes on single detached lots and build more homes near transit. 👇🏾 universityendowmentlands.gov.bc.ca/businessservic…

@Danielhep Biggest civic party I've ever seen, TBH. I'm very impressed with what my colleagues put together, as well as the dozens or orgs, performers, food trucks who came out too.
California's *only* problem is that it's too hard to build stuff. Too hard to build new housing. Too hard to build green energy. Too hard to build high-speed rail. Too hard because it requires too many approvals, too many community meetings, too many chances for NIMBYs to say no.
Texas is booming. They’re creating jobs, increasing wages, building green energy, and keeping housing prices in check. All things that California claims to want. Yet we continue to implement policy that achieves the opposite.
“The FlyAway looks like it's being scuttled to an offsite lot... LAX should continue to offer the most convenient curbside service for high-capacity transit like the FlyAway in order to incentivize the type of trips that can actually relieve congestion.” torched.la/terminal-veloc…
