Agreed! Freeway-aligned light rail is AWFUL for tons of reasons (yet, it's the dominant way of creating/extending LRT lines). But freeway-aligned #HighSpeedRail is a *totally* different thing - I LOVE this! Plus, it prevents the highway from getting widened for cars--bonus!😀

I cannot possibly recommend @99piorg's podcast series on Robert Caro's "The Power Broker" more strongly. It needs to be REQUIRED listening for ALL elected officials and #transportation planners. Every minute is pure gold! Thanks so much, @romanmars, @ElliottKalan, & everyone!❤️
I've always wondered why #Chicago's Grant Park is so incomplete-feeling and why most of its signature attractions are awkwardly cut off on multiple fronts. I should have known: mega-#NIMBY Aaron Montgomery Ward blocked every building he didn't like: youtube.com/watch?v=Go5cfI…
Nice! Next, remove those #parking podiums, #Austin. But it's still 100X better than #Portland's "grass & geese" waterfront. And the roads on both sides of the river are pure car sewers. Make SW Naito car-free! Portland planners have ignored its greatest amenity for FAR too long.

Worst methodology ever used to determine "walkability."😆 Check out their article. I once walked *73 blocks* in downtown #Dallas, on a perfect Friday afternoon in 2006, before seeing even ONE PERSON walking outside. I know Dallas has improved since then, but it's still pathetic!

.@TxDOT just gifted @TheOnion a perfect article without realizing it. There is sooo much that's wrong with their theory that this, plus many land-use-and-transportation-related spin-offs, could keep The Onion busy for an entire year. Just ONE MORE lane. @INRIX car brain.
SOOO true! NIMBYs *constantly* block this incredibly obvious solution! Plus, as @StrongTowns always reminds us, neighborhoods and cities are not static! They need to constantly evolve incrementally! But too many people with massive power & privilege want to preserve it in amber.

I just tuned into the #Philadelphia 76ers game, and... It's tied, 76-76. I'll probably never randomly jump to that score ever again in a 76ers game. 😊 @sixers #NBAPlayoffs
I hope that a HUGE part of the @StrongTowns gathering in #Cincinnati in May involves debating pros & cons of what #3CDC has done. Those will be incredibly fascinating debates! #OTR #housing #ColorOfLaw And I can't wait to read @clmarohn's latest book!😀❤️ strongtowns.org/eventspage/nat…
#Whatcom County west of I-5 is dominated by a refinery, golf courses, cheesy Birch Bay resorts, and cul-de-sac #housing. Semiahmoo's peninsula could be a stunning, walkable, dense, bike-friendly coastal community, with produce grown year-round within a short walk. @Whatcomctygov
Transit use is, indeed, deplorable in the U.S. But the U.S. has only 6 real cities: NY, SF, Chicago, Boston, Philly & DC Criteria: Density > 10K/sq mi <25% housed in one-plexes High transit use The two on deck are Seattle & LA, but their % of one-plex #housing is WAY too high.

Folks: the vast majority of Arlington's residential land is zoned single family only: somewhere around *80 percent.* Does anyone really think it wouldn't grow if that was relaxed? Also, look at this. ggwash.org/view/amp/88883
Arlington County, Virginia has less than 250,000 people. I think I knew that, but I was looking at D.C.-area county population numbers, and I found it shocking. A county that close to a major American city should absolutely be much denser.
Sure MAX Light Rail is slow and inefficient but burying it underground would cause Portland to lose its special charm which would be even worse
Today, the affordable housing & equitable development zoning bill that my office has been working on for 2+ years alongside dozens of community orgs died at Full Council. Despite my devastation, I'm grateful to everyone who showed up to testify today and over the last few months.
Seattle’s best days are behind it with respect to housing affordability @MayorofSeattle & @SeattleCouncil are exacerbating this Result: a city accessible to ppl with a $million+ & those with no homes whatsoever SEA, like SF, will become inhospitable to everyone in between

We badly need more housing, but we also need to talk about where this housing goes. This complex is 20 minute along a highway to the nearest grocery store. Happy to see the gov fixing zoning so this stuff can be built where it should be - right next to the grocery store
Welcome to 2055, 2065, and 2075 Drennan Street—soon to be home to 170 families, each with a new place to call their own. Featuring a playground, garden beds, green space and community spaces to gather and celebrate, this is a truly beautiful space.
I used to believe there was no such thing as “libertarians” but having attracted a bunch of libertarian commenters on this website I need to update my priors: A libertarian is a white suburban/rural man who is completely dependent on government subsidies for his lifestyle.
If I’d told you how badly NIMBYs broke urban governance in the United States and used even a single, real-world example, you would not believe me, because it is beyond absurd. You have no idea.
The year is ~ 2033. A city and a suburb are sitting at a bar. City: “How did you go bankrupt?” Suburb: “Gradually, then suddenly.” *** “The illusion that suburbia remains somehow separate from America’s problems is no longer viable.” theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
The NYC DOT estimates that there are 3 million on-street parking spaces across the five boroughs, an area roughly equivalent to 12 Central Parks (red). See that small yellow box? That's outdoor dining. Good to know we are basically killing the program to get those spaces back!
