The peoples’ hero. Fiercely fighting for pedestrian rights. Pro transit, pro sensible regulation. Boston.
It’s really incredible when train infrastructure lasts for 100+ years
ALERT: The Green Line will shut down for 15 days (December 8–22) between North Station and Babcock Street/Kenmore/Heath St. for major tunnel upgrades — including replacing catenary equipment dating back to the 1890s.
Free shuttles + fare-free options available.

The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

All parking should be free & unrestricted (no resident permits) for 15-30 minutes and then exorbitantly expensive thereafter

Orange Line ridership is up roughly 20% over last year! Still need to increase ridership another 50% to get to 2019 levels.

Democrats held out for a vote on ADA subsidies, when they should have held out for a bi-partisan rebuke of violent rhetoric & actions from the sitting President
Republicans in Congress can’t be counted on to condemn their leader calling for the execution of their legislative colleagues.
They are a profoundly pathetic and anti-American group of cucks.

It has to be said that this is an improvement over violently arresting anyone non-white walking in public
US Border Patrol has been secretly using a nationwide network of license-plate readers and predictive algorithms to track millions of American drivers, even far from the border, ABC reports.
Anyone the system throws up for “suspicious travel patterns” are questioned, searched or arrested by police.

We need congestion pricing or we are going to have a transit death spiral.
President Trump's transportation funding proposal could blow a $30 billion hole in the budgets of transit agencies across America: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/11/18/b...

"When you're talking about taking away money from transit, your proposal is flawed from the get-go," said one expert.

I think there’s an overwhelming revealed preference for wealthy people to be physically segregated from lower wealth individuals. I think a lot of people are willing to accept a car dependent lifestyle in exchange. Then they vehemently oppose anything that degrades car speeds or allows housing.
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs

Drivers get very pissed (think honk) whenever a pedestrian crosses against a green light, but also very pissed when you call them out for running a red, blocking a crosswalk or really anything

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

This is good, but we need to be approving this many new houses per MONTH.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency approved a massive plan to transform 36 acres on Dorchester’s Columbia Point — adding 21 new buildings, a new street network, and nearly 2,000 apartments (20% affordable).

Thesis:
The Tesla fiasco will lay bare the fact that most retail investors are not suited to be owners of a company, from a management perspective.
The long term will tilt retail investing towards bonds, which offer a return without the requirements of voting on pay packages.

This is infuriating because Trump is the same person now as he was a year ago. He is doing the things he campaigned on. His platform should not have won in 2024.
