With Brightline West breaking ground, I want to go over why the nation’s first operational HSR (250+ km/h) will include two stops in the relatively unpopulated desert & not quite make it all the way to LA, as it’s a good lesson about building in the US today🧵

I put together this table of US transit fares in 2024. LA is in the top three for affordability.
Since the success of Medellín’s Metrocable, cable cars have enjoyed a resurgence as a popular mode of public transit, especially in Latin America. 🇨🇴🚡🇩🇴 Ride along with me on Santo Domingo’s Teleférico and learn about the Caribbean’s biggest—and growing—cable car system. 🧵

This should be legal everywhere.

The reality is we could've easily mastered energy, food, and material abundance with 1970s era Technology. Instead, we loaded up on virtue signaling, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory capture. I call this general phenomenon "The Blight"

✅ Mark gets it. I am of the controversial take that the city/state should have capacity to build housing, infrastructure, & create amenity seeking to benefit the common good, instead of playing politics for who got them elected & farming out the hard stuff to the private sector.
This is the ‘don’t cross the streams’ logic of allowing abundant housing to be built by market- and also separately and efficiently build/ subsidize/ leasing social housing by public. (Rather than burdening private builders with the govt’s job of providing subsidized housing).
.@Anne_Hidalgo is the most inspiring mayor in the world right now, transforming her city to be centered around people instead of cars. Thank you @lemondefr for covering Measure HLA, and thank you Anne for your amazing work! lemonde.fr/international/…
@thisisbenphelps Schrodinger's Gondola. It will cause light pollution, ruin privacy and cause gentrification. The Gondola can do it all. The homes will be worth less and more at the same time.
