Oxford's Congestion Charge approved at Cabinet today!

I think this is the first UK one for 20 years - London and Durham being the other two cities with them. Looking forward to faster buses and more bus routes, fewer private cars and therefore being able to re-do crossings to favour pedestrians!

Oxford Clarion @oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 29d

Oxford is to get a congestion charge of £5 per car per day, starting this autumn. Charges will be levied for driving past one of six camera sites. The decision, intended to accelerate bus services and encourage cycling/walking, was taken at an Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting this morning.

Rents in Spokane are down 12% as a result of pro-housing legislation, like removing parking minimums, incentivizing housing on former parking lots, and upzoning all residential parcels.

Rent prices are falling fast in America’s most pro-housing cities

Rental prices in some of the country's largest cities are falling—some by almost 45 percent, according to new data.

I took inspiration from the always classy @jacoblatonis.me recently and added support for underscores in integer and float literals in YARA. It makes reading large integers (in any supported base) much easier.

God bless whoever put up this pro-upzoning poster in Edgewater, please put up more

A flier taped to a streetlight pole that reads:

“I also have access to a printer,
And I say
Upzoning is cool and good and it is my friend

Let ‘em build some housing! What're you worried about, people with jobs and homes using the Red Line?

Atraid of density? then why did you move to the big city my good friend [emoji making a ‘this guy’s nuts!’ gesture]

‘But I wanna drive my car!’
The bus is better because you can read a book on the bus

Dear ‘Save Edgewater’: If I ever see you again claming that increasing supply increases prices I will spank your bottom and enroll you in an econ class at Loyola

Say YES to proposed Upzoning in Edgewater
