Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station.
The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.

I’m just gonna keep buying these while they’re on sale even though they will only sell me 4 a week. How many copies do you think I need to buy to fund a trip to Anchorage, @holz-bau.bsky.social ? At this rate every Anchorage Assembly member should have one by October.

A great thing about ebikes is that they turn non-cyclists into cyclists.
I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.)
Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.

Criminal negligence by the gestapo
BREAKING - 35 ICE detainees held in the Alaska DOC custody in the Anchorage Correctional Complex in June were informed by ICE they were exposed to tuberculosis, according to the ACLU of Alaska.
At least one man has been hospitalized in Tacoma, WA.

Nyc alone has a population greater than the 9 least populous states. Senate malapportionment is bad!
Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

And are they limiting it to busy wide roads that nobody wants to live on? No.
Are they asking for community design review approval? No.
Do they make them sit around for 5 years responding to frivolous permit comments before shovels hit the ground? No.
Maybe there’s more to this answer? Yes.

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.
Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change?

A bad process built with your tax dollars require neither your respect nor good faith
You are only one thing: a VOTER, not a hobbyist urban planner. The trap that The Good advocates keep falling into is they learn planning jargon in good faith in hopes that will drive change
It never does

The most critical thing I can point out is this: malicious compliance!
If a system or process is fundamentally broken, NIMBYs engage with it through a form of malicious compliance. Do-gooder YIMBYs engage with it earnestly & in good faith
But, results stack in favour of malicious compliance 🤷🏾♂️

in america, planners can force designers to make massive buildings look like little ones
but the effect is sh*t, in part because our building codes don't allow for large buildings to be made up of many smaller buildings.
we should be able to do this.
