These were built in 2008 in The Hague, Netherlands. Not everything new has to be a sprawling cul-de-sac filled with McMansions!

Remember: it’s all local now.
Everything you are passionate about at the national level has a local analog that needs your attention.
The time and effort you put into making your place stronger and more prosperous will make a huge difference.

We should challenge a lot more directly this very common idea in American politics that cities exist only to provide comfort, luxury, and labor to the suburbs.
Today I sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to reexamine New York’s congestion pricing scheme.
Congestion pricing is a disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.

When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you:
smashed fences & retaining walls
bent sign posts
broken car pieces
broken windshield glass, etc.
For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲,🦽 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.
