This is a really important point. Crime should of course be covered; public safety is critical, after all. But when the harsh realities of the media industry and social media make crime coverage the most prevalent thing people see online everyday, it can be terribly corrosive.

“Multifamily buildings with sprinklers are America’s safest homes in case of fire. The safe choice is to add more of them, in neighborhoods that are safer from harm, and at price points that more Americans can afford.” 🏗️🏢 @paytonchung @ggwash ggwash.org/view/93257/how…

Well because when California, with its cleanest in the nation energy portfolio, cleanest gasoline, low per capita GHG production and all around well above environmental protections, refuses to allow people to actually live here, they move to coal burning states!

The US has zoning largely because government at the time refused to regulate pollution directly. Now that we've been doing so for 50 years, though, what's our excuse?

President Biden is calling on Congress to pass his plan to build and renovate more than two million homes – which would close the housing supply gap and lower housing costs for renters and homeowners.
I wish Mitt Romney's dad were still alive to see YIMBYism today. His efforts & political career were ended by the darkest latent forces in American housing politics He died with the satisfaction of being on the right side of history. Wish he could see us finally start to win

But many more cities are limiting their urbanization with two-lane mandates—probably without even realizing it. YIMBYs and urbanists have made great progress in reducing/eliminating parking space mandates. The next area of focus should be to improve parking design mandates.
Like 90% of critiques of housing reformers now just start from the premise that housing construction is an on/off switch, as opposed to the truth: a spectrum of costs and restrictions that mean some projects can be built but others can’t depending on the circumstances.
seattle loves to show these "gradual steps" of density as if they are all equal parts within the city, but clearly that's not the case
one thing i know about NIMBYs is they are absolutely humiliated when you point out their opposition to housing, even if they opposed it publicly

The walls of Rock Creek’s valley echo endlessly with tire and engine noise, but putting a bikeshare dock at Peirce Mill would be an unspeakable transgression, like opening a smelter at Yellowstone.
Online “leftism” is a space infested with, and often dominated by, toxic people who are have next to no interest in securing a better future or helping anyone or the basic mechanics of exercising political power. If you’re a progressive it’s actually quite counterproductive!
adopting a cat is so crazy bc one day they're homeless in the rain and a year later your life is like this IG the_shags2021
Never forget that academic progressivism is one of the fakest postures on earth. It's like a Che mural that says "Affluent White People's Feelies" in Spanish underneath it.
These same academic presidents crying on zoom and putting up “good trouble” murals after George Floyd got killed are now calling the same police departments out to beat the shit out of their own students. Whew man, the pendulum has *swung*.
It’s bizarre that a $75,000 vehicle to go get a cappuccino downtown is for those salt of the earth folks but the $200 bicycle for the daily commute is for the privileged few. A piece from a while back on vehicle repositioning. usa.streetsblog.org/2022/05/25/opi…
Whenever I read complaints that the President hasn't said enough on some not-exactly-global issue, I fantasize about @J_Cal_Coolidge taking out a copy of the Constitution, and saying: "Do you see this sort of thing in Article II? (pause) Me neither."
These are an early reminder that circulation and unit mix are difficult to separate. If your demand truly is for small units, point access blocks are hard to make work. But if you require tons of circulation through code, big units are hard to make work (plans by @alfred_twu)
