“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps

All of my family is in Texas. I miss them and have to go there often. But it feels soul sucking to go from Madison, WI where I can bike everywhere or take the BRT, to being forced to drive. There’s no human connection.
“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs and neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.” Via @theguardian.com

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Strasbourg boasts over 600 kilometres of cycling routes—the largest network in France—and is widely regarded as one of Europe’s best cycling cities. But what is less known is how a study visit to the Netherlands provided the spark needed to light a fire underneath its politicians and policy-makers.🧵
