This is incredible messaging. I encourage bike advocates everywhere to use a similar argument. As a side note, laws to limit public smoking were also met with incredible pushback. Now we take them for granted, but these were hard fought public health wins

Vienna is regularly cited as the best example of how to do affordable housing, and @justinkadi.bsky.social is *the* Vienna housing expert.

Social housing makes up almost half of the city’s 1m homes. The system isn’t perfect, but it gets a lot of things right, says housing expert Justin Kadi
