Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

If you define yourself as "anti-imperialist" you have to clutch at straws to defend one of the most blatant imperial land grabs of the 21st century.

I don’t know man, the fact that 30yrs worth of decreased road deaths have been obliterated with no real change in infra I’m left to conclude it’s 100% because drivers have declared war on humanity.

yeah, also maybe we could get better pedestrian protections out of it, if sidewalks are increasingly used not just by humans but by corporate assets. always in favour of more sidewalk use
I’m sorry but if “delivering food” isn’t the kind of job that robots are allowed to take then what is the point of even inventing robots
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Trump of course doesn't think complex enough thoughts to be thinking this himself but what I think a lot of people in his circle hate about Ukraine is the same thing that Putin does: that it represents the Maidan. That its people did in fact overthrow a corrupt tyrant. That they would do so again

the overton window shift/scope creep/whatever it is is so funny here. at the end of it a 3-storey building becomes equivalent to some kind of sauron tower that envelops long-suffering communities in darkness and traffic. it hurtsssss that this thought process decides how cities get built
me: towers are good
them: no, we need nice 4-6 storey, human scale buildings
me: we do! let’s rezone the city so we can get 4-6 storeys everywhere
them: oh no, not like that
