Springfield walked away without a transit deal — and our communities are the ones paying the price. We need leaders who understand what’s at stake and are ready to fight.

#2034sight is more relevant now than ever. Strategic investments to fundamentally change the way we operate existing transit service is imperative as we enter a period of federal austerity. When we #BuildTheTunnel we can create a new regional rail transit network on infrastructure we already have.

Hey guess what I have some good news! This is from data I got this afternoon.
year 1 after Portland's fourplex legalization: 1% of new housing citywide
year 2: 7%
year 3: ***26%***
Some things take some time to pay off.
These delightful 20-somethings bought one of them; told me they love it.

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

Charging higher parking fees for longer vehicles doesn’t work, but the committee didn’t let that stop them.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

These things should be taxed into nonexistence.
The truck used in the New Orleans terrorist attack is a Ford F-150 Lightning, which is perfectly designed for this kind of attack.
It weighs more than 6000 lbs, accelerates to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the battering-ram-shaped front is nearly 5 feet tall. Deadly by design.

E-bikes and self-driving cars both entered the year with momentum. Only one maintained it.
