Ohio, with an economy the size of Switzerland, runs just 48 trains a week. Switzerland runs 77,000. Over the next four years, Ohio will spend $2.45 million on trains, against $6.7 billion for roads and highways. Meanwhile, here’s what became of Dayton’s train station:

Few things have been more damaging to Atlanta than the fruitless effort to "relieve car congestion." We should have been trying to relieve people of car dependency this whole time instead.

If you sincerely care about the cause of rent affordability, there's one -- and only one -- solution widely supported by data, academics and practitioners: Build more housing. Check this out: Rents are falling where we built a lot of apartments. Rents rising where we didn't.

Naturally, discourse about this tweet devolved into argument by anecdote. But we actually have great evidence that this occurs at large scale in American cities! Within a couple years, expensive buildings really do open up housing in lower-cost areas of the same city.

A slow daily diesel train between Minneapolis and Chicago sees 100,000 more riders than it was projected to see when it opened a year ago, and you all want to tell me there’s no demand for fast and frequent trains in this country lol.

the fact that in most of America you need to buy a car (+parking, insurance, maintenance, gas, etc) to live your life because walking, biking, and transit infrastructure is so bad

Why does a warmer climate result in more extreme precipitation? The physics is actually pretty simple, as I wrote about here (in response to a different storm) theclimatebrink.com/p/did-climate-…

I am a climate scientist who advocates for reforming our zoning laws, building urban infill housing, investing in public transit, and building new active transportation pathways through cities and towns. We do exist: youtube.com/watch?v=im3BZv…

The price of housing is set by supply and demand. In high-demand areas, the only way to stabilize or reduce housing prices is by building a lot of new homes, including privately-built homes for sale or rent on the open market. Anyone who says otherwise has an agenda.

VDH just updated the heat-related illness dashboard to include 6/24. There were 239 HRIs in Virginia yesterday. That's more than any single heat event that I can see in the data back to 2015. Historic heat means historic impact.

"New market-rate housing puts downward pressure on the price of existing homes" is widely accepted as a fact among people who actually stand to make or lose money on housing.
