1/9 We sometimes hear analysts propose that the reason China will not replicate Japan's difficult adjustment over the past three decades, even though it suffers from similar but much deeper imbalances and an even greater reliance on a surging debt... nytimes.com/2024/09/06/bus…
Some initial impressions of @CityofVancouver’s pedestrianized Gastown pilot. 1. In the car-free areas that buttress the zone on each end it’s definitely quieter without vehicle traffic and more pleasant to linger, grab a seat, and people-watch.
If they kept the Liberal name, the Falcon folks would all be blaming their downward spiral on Trudeau. Now, they have no one to blame but themselves.

We got tired of waiting for our local leaders to act 😴 So we're introducing our new pedestrian safety pilot: BRICKS (TM)! 🧱 Thanks to @nicthedoor & @aboutherevideos for creating this video for us!

So the family has to organize a Go-Fund Me in order to pay for funeral costs, let alone future earnings. I think car insurance should actually pay out a fair amount for death and should be increased significantly. @Rob_Fleming @VisionZeroYVR

Cars are great but they have huge negative externalities, especially in urban areas
Highly recommend this from @edwest on how a large portion of crime originates from a (very!) small portion of the population. A compelling criticism of how modern societies approach prevention, policing, and criminal justice that really isn't said enough edwest.co.uk/p/the-power-la…
The other day someone expressed skepticism when I made that $2000/month claim, so I crunched the numbers. On July 20, there were 243 newly posted rental listings on Craigslist for Metro Van. Just 11% were under $2,000 a month. On Liv.Rent, 9%. On Zillow, 7%.

The misappropriation of trams as "rapid transit" will haunt Toronto for decades. While we spend billions replacing suburban bus lines with trams that provide little concrete service improvement, Montreal is building a world-class suburban metro - perfect for car-centric Toronto
