I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.

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/…
Biking home from a @henrygrabar talk, stopped at gas station for milk. The two 20-something cashiers loved my @Parking_Reform stickers (I gave them some) and vented about how awful it was growing up in the unwalkable exurbs. One was a @notjustbikes fan. The kids are alright.
Violent drivers going utterly apeshit in the comments.
Everyone asks where we would put a regional high speed rail network while there are … 4 million miles of 4- to 8-lane highways sitting *right there.* And we already own them!

one thing i know about NIMBYs is they are absolutely humiliated when you point out their opposition to housing, even if they opposed it publicly

It's interesting watching how they deal with illegally parked cars elsewhere.
The barrier to entry is quite large too. One requires paying $8,100 annually for maintenance and insurance while the other is just $80/month for a HOLO Card monthly pass.
It's true. The first photo below is the first ever bike lane in the US, from Davis CA. What's there now is the second photo, in part due to dudes like John Forester who gave traffic engineers an excuse to do as little as possible.

@mattyglesias Allowing tent encampments will solve nothing as the tents will simply be bought up and hoarded by foreign billionaire speculators.
I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.
We found out that NYT is obsessively highlighting Biden's age because the publisher is butthurt that Biden won't give them an interview ... and it's not going to change anything. NYT coverage will be just as bad -- and NYT reps just as supercillious & unself-aware -- tomorrow.

It is strange how upset people get when you say obviously true things like a city that’s lost 2/3 of its population and famously gives away lots and empty houses for ~$500 doesn’t have a gentrification problem.
@Nowooski Sorry Wally, you either don’t live in Detroit, or don’t know what gentrification is.

Biking home from a @henrygrabar talk, stopped at gas station for milk. The two 20-something cashiers loved my @Parking_Reform stickers (I gave them some) and vented about how awful it was growing up in the unwalkable exurbs. One was a @notjustbikes fan. The kids are alright.
@kubectlget @Boenau Um, no? It's me driving the speed limit. Your desires are on you; I'm not obligated to change my behavior to satisfy you.
@kubectlget @Boenau How is someone driving the speed limit controlling your behavior? You don’t have more right to the road than anyone else, and you certainly don’t have a right to speed Police officers not enforcing laws doesn’t change them
