Portland should aim for a minimum 2% average annual growth rate. People already want to live in Portland, we just need to make it cheap and easy to build homes. 🏗️🏙️🌲🚲🦫

Thread of the occasional big hauls I do by bicycle.

Tonight I bought a snowblower and pressure washer.

cool that the south shore line is doing a trails-to-rails project! we’ve all heard the argument that rails to trails helps preserve rail ROWs for future expansion but how often does it actually happen? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_La...

"""Bus rapid transit""" (service every half hour)

There is no better car advertisement than spending 30 minutes waiting on a bus.

The full time job of the modal person with the title of "city planner" in the US is to be a steward of segregation.

What the fuck?
All of the pink areas are lots with nothing but a single-family home (and probably the world's best access to transit, jobs, and greenspace).

Spending a week and a half in Paris and Madrid really drives home the point that the (American-ish) concept of a "one-seat ride" is overrated, and frequent headways at nearly all hours of the day is the true gold standard.

Katie Wilson: "I look at what Mayor Hidalgo has achieved in Paris, and I think that, and some of the mayors in Spanish cities, progressive, socialist mayors in Spanish cities, and the transformation of public space into walkable, people-oriented places where you want to be, it’s just so important."

the older i get the more i Dislike What The Internet Has Brought Into My Life, but it also gives me more appreciation for The Good Things, and it's hard to argue XKCD isn't one of the better things the internet has ever produced

The only reason me and my fiance can even consider buying a home in Portland is thanks to the "Portland special." ~6 modest townhouse units on a 50' lot. They're only being built in RM1 & CM2 zones, mostly East of 60th.

They have serious tradeoffs tho, with no bike storage being the biggest for us

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

“Housing prices aren’t a nationwide crisis, they only really impact people in CA, OR, WA, AZ, UT, CO, NY, NJ, MA, and DC where ~106 million people live and roughly 1/3rd of US GDP is generated”

By mid-century these 3 circled areas should each have 100k more homes in them than they have today.

Sideways Chicago? Oh, you mean Horizonto?
Check out this 1923 transit plan commissioned by the Chicago City Council. We use to be insanely ambitious. A network like this would've supported Paris-level population densities.

It's never too late!

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children

They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”

This is tyranny

These kids are traumatized

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.
