I shouldn’t call this move shortsighted. that implies it may be justifiable in the short term. it isn’t. it is idiotic, today and all days.

suppressing cycle lanes citing congestion is like swearing off rigorous exercise because it’s hard on your heart & lungs—that is precisely the desired effect.

halfway through a Master of Urban & Regional Planning, am already contemplating whether a more efficacious career would be one in politics.

just like here in Aotearoa, planning—and all of the research, foresight, and ethics that go into it—is undermined & overruled by myopic political forces.
