TOMORROW: Join us for a march to protect the safer streets, cleaner air, and better transit we won together and remind President Trump whose streets these are! 🗓️Saturday, Feb 22 | 🕒 3PM | 📍 Times Square (Broadway + 47th St)

I come with yet another WIP update of the desk 🦁 Feeling really good about how it's looking, slowly trying to implement all of the wonderful feedback I've received!

Detroit friends! Highly encourage you to fill out this survey on how Woodward can be improved. MDOT has plans to redesign and develop this major stroad and this is our chance to make it better. survey123.arcgis.com/share/963732...

Just learned about the company Realt, which fractionalized home ownerships into crypto token shares, allowing hundreds of people to share and trade the value of a house. This should be completely illegal

This should be shouted from every rooftop. Suburban sprawl plays a direct role in why Americans cannot protest the way they do overseas

Here is how much of Paris fits into the footprint of a typical American mall

When you drive a car, you’re taking space away from everyone

One of the greatest manipulations of our urban environments in the last century was making the masses dependent on a few thousand pounds of steel to go from A to B for the most basic of everyday needs.

Arrowhead Stadium and Berlin's Olympiastadion share similar capacities as World Cup venues. Yet Arrowhead has 19,000 parking spaces served by one local bus, while Olympiastadion has 660 spaces and three rapid train stations. We are truly not ready for the World Cup.

The library is one of the best places to simply be outside of your home

Wonderful podcast episode about the history of accessible urban design in America open.spotify.com/episode/2DKk...

Really enjoying these illustrations by Antonio Huerta for an article about urban sprawl

OpenAI accusing *anyone* of stealing is pretty ironic

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

The lack of magic European pasta is definitely our problem, not the way we get from A to B for damn near everything.

Great read. It's time to start wondering when politicians and gov. officials will begin to make it easier to densify and listen to what the people want yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/01/do-a...

New affordable housing in the neighborhood

Congrats bluesky! For some reason, I feel like 30 million is a particularly notable milestone for online communities/games, but idk why that number in particular. Anyone know?

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

Check this date on this bad boy. We still can’t agree on this out apparently

Bluesky is almost at 30 million users!

Parking requirements should be abolished

Great news for #detroit residents www.bridgedetroit.com/skillman-bra...

While the USA builds endless cul-de-sacs with the same looking house over and over again, here's what a new neighborhood in the Netherlands looks like: (📷 LT Afbouw, Rijnsburg)

Got this as a gift and it’s a wonderful #book for those into #urbanism and #design!

31% of Detroit is parking. When I drive down there, it makes me really sad, especially knowing what use to be here

Anyways, bought my first ever skin in Fortnite

It’s insulting to make pedestrians ask for permission to cross, especially when most intersections have timed lights anyways. Cross walk buttons are only designed to give drivers the freedom to forget about checking for pedestrians

Not even an hour, and I’ve already found my people here. Happy to see so many familiar faces from X too 🙌🙌 thanks everyone

New to bluesky! Please recommend me any #urbanism and transit focused accounts to follow! It’s what I mainly used x/twitter for
