People on Twitter will really be like “you believe in upzoning to allow more housing? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, building only public housing” and then not build any public housing.
TFW you tell a person from NJ that you can’t just yell at people to give you money for nothing.
Historical preservation is stupid. If it isn’t Stonewall, a key part of abolition, having to do with the founding of this country, or something like that, Marie Kondo that shit
This is it. Right here. The failure of government by consultant agreement in a nutshell. These people will take govt money, or take money from a foundation that only exists bc a rich dude didn’t want to pay to fund the govt, and will *never* question the absurd status quo.

Rush hour-level crowds. 11-12min headways on downtown 1 trains. @NYCTSubway maybe hire one person who cares about your non-9-5-commuter riders.
TFW when you’re an famous investor and you literally don’t understand the first thing about how banks work. Incredible.

A beautiful reminder of why I sometimes get so frustrated… this city deserves so much better than its incompetent leaders could ever provide.

I’m gonna cash in on this trend by consulting consultants on how to write prose that doesn’t sound like it was written by consultants.

My new favorite part of this fiasco is the fact that some backend glitch is serving me nothing but ads for Wendy’s peppermint frosties. It’s very Dada.

Do you think there’s been a moment today when reality has pierced through @elonmusk’s ego, delusions, and defense mechanisms? Do you think he’s had even a brief flash of insight where he looked around and said to himself “wow, I suck”? Or has he gone full Ye?
They won’t, but now would be a good time for the Democrats who run the state of New York to reflect on why we continue to be a dysfunctional basket case and what we can do about it.
If you are going to comment on crime in NYC you should be required by law to say where you live and how often you take the subway.

@mateosfo @ChristoSilvia It’s impossible to make houses supercharge (to put in a supercharger you need big boy electricity like 480 stuff). Fastest you can get is 3 hour charging using a 220 line at high amps (50 amps which is doable!).
If I’d told you how badly NIMBYs broke urban governance in the United States and used even a single, real-world example, you would not believe me, because it is beyond absurd. You have no idea.
"We assume that car use is an incompressible liquid that must be routed somewhere. But it’s more like a gas that fills whatever space it is given.” —Ian Lockwood, transport planner.
STOP BRINGING YOUR KIDS TO BREWERIES IM TRYING TO RELAX
1st: exactly zero YIMBYs have ever claimed that density is the only reason rents are different in cities vs rural areas. (We merely say that the ability to build density is a factor in city rents.) 2nd: joke, ignore. 3rd: YIMBYs don't say that "developers are greedy" is wrong…
It's an admirable goal, but my goodness, "straightening" is doing a lot of lifting here... You and whose property acquisition fund.
If the necessary upgrades were made (straightening and route wide electrification) NYC to Montreal would become extremely popular. Average speed of 90mph would easily make it more desirable than plane or driving. NYC to Albany is already one of Amtrak’s most popular routes.
One of my motivating beliefs is that a lot of people are stupid and it’s up to the smart and competent people to *actually deliver growing prosperity for everyone* so that the stupid people don’t feel the need to roll up their sleeves and get involved in policy.

I’m sorry but Detroit is a horrendously segregated, deeply disinvested city where the loss of tax base has led to a severe fiscal spiral and endless waves of flight have led to an ocean of sprawl. It is The Bad Path for all metro planning questions and we can acknowledge that.
