China builds 30,000 miles of high-speed rail and the US builds 30,000 page reports about someday building high-speed rail.

I hate this urban tough-guy bullshit. America's dense walkable cities should be pleasant places where it's easy to raise a family without a car, not dilapidated shitholes where you prove how hardcore you are by ostentatiously tolerating inconvenience and disorder.

it sucks i can't toss a baseball around my apartment without risk of breaking all my stuff

We live in a society. There are rules. Leash your dog unless you’re at the dog park, and don’t bring it into food service establishments.

If I take a bus downtown and back it costs me $4.50. If I take the 'L' downtown and back it costs me $5.00. If I take Metra downtown and back it costs me *at least* $7.50. If I drive downtown and back it costs me zero dollars. Remind me again why we should feel bad about changing that last one?

Cities like to brag about how many kilometres (or miles) of bike paths they have, but the number doesn’t tell you anything about quality, connectivity, or usefulness. They should instead be judged on actual bike volumes (like from bike counters) or overall cycling mode share.

would anyone like to discuss mlb trade rumors

May 2025 be the year we stop freezing neighborhoods in amber and start building more homes where people want to live.

We’re at Great Highway & Ulloa where a driver killed a 68-year-old pedestrian on Friday. Had this happened 2 months later it’d be a park and she’d be fine. There were no deaths from May 2020-Aug 2021 when it was car-free. Car-free & car-light spaces make cities safe for all.

You really don’t need to like corporate landlords or developers, but if you’re going to reject successful strategies to end homelessness because some of them might make money then I don’t know what to do with you.

Hochul just *quietly* announced she’s blocking variable tolls on gridlock alert days — a policy that’s been in the plan since day one. 🚨 Call Hochul at 518-474-8390 and tell her to stop weakening congestion pricing! New Yorkers deserve leaders, not pushovers.

the obvious answer is to offer a service that doesn’t drive their customers into murderous fugue states but I bet this article is like “what if we provided every CEO with some kind of Pacific Rim-style mech suit”

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Not calling other transit advocates names and keeping conversations friendly is *actually* really important. If people are afraid speaking up is going to get them peppered with insults then they don't engage and you get ossification and stagnation.

Me to motorists upset about street safety projects:

Driving is a dull chore most of the time and designing our society to require that people do it all the time was a mistake.
