“It’s time to demand automakers return to providing vehicles appropriate for jam-packed cities.”
Shawn Micallef: This truck ad shows why Toronto needs smaller vehicles — if only the carmakers wanted to sell them
A car comically overloaded with plywood? It’s a good ad for a pickup — but also a sign of the incredible amount of money, weight and energy being wasted on

Denver Housing Construction Benefits Low-Income Renters
Denver’s recent experience shows that when we build more housing, rents fall – and they fall the most for households that need the greatest relief.

This is an EXTREMELY important thread regarding how to tackle disinformation and lies. If both validates and further educates the way I’ve been address such lies and conspiracy theories in the city-making arena. Please read, share and consider.
Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.
Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social.

I see a strong generic case for city-owned and subsidized bike share networks, but given how bad we are in New York in particular at building and managing transportation infrastructure, I’d prefer to leave Citi Bike as-is. Build a library for less than $1,000 psf and then I’ll reconsider.

So, I watched part of the CBC moral panic piece on the "300% increase in violent crime" on big city transit systems. The article uses 2016 as the base year. Choosing 2016 is not an accident. That year, and the one before, were anomalies, with violent crime rates dropping significantly. 1/2

The administration's foreign policy is to performatively murder the weak and defenseless to distract from the fact that it is abandoning U.S. strategic interests worldwide.

Right. This is normally a prelude to imminent war. But no one knows if the us president is serious or had a bad breakfast or is making an insane joke or had a stroke or whatever.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

Look, every single “deal” reached by a university with the Trump administration is a moral stain that will be seen with deep embarrassment once we’re through this. But for Northwestern to do this now, when the administration is visibly weakened, is even more shameful and inexcusable.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
