I’ve been saying this since the first YIMBY conference in 2016 and Luca is absolutely correct. If you’re working on housing abundance and you’re not part of @parkingreform.org then you should figure out why not.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want walkable streets.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.

Car bloat has become a global problem, not just an American one. Worldwide, SUVs alone now comprise ~half of new car sales. The avg European car gets 1 cm wider every 2 years. That's bad news for climate change, as well as for safety. Me, in Slate 🧵 GIFT LINK: slate.com/business/202...

“Tech billionaires don’t have a great track record when it comes to fixing our transportation system — but we keep giving them 2nd chances. Instead, tech companies have kept us trapped in our cars by distracting us from investments in improved transit & other transport options.” — @parismarx.com

Also, while there are some real privacy experts who can debate this topic, most of the people who oppose speed cameras on surveillance grounds tend not to oppose things like EZ-Pass and other camera-based tech that make driving easier. That gives the game away.

In terms of mobility, e-bikes are selling faster & having bigger effects on emissions than EVs, much less self-driving EVs. And yet they get vastly, vastly less attention. www.fastcompany.com/90994141/why...

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. theconversation.com/car-tyres-sh...

Rails-to-trails paths can transform cities, turning former train corridors into utilitarian bike highways. If you're fortunate to have one cutting through your city, it becomes a peaceful, efficient route for errands, shielding you from the chaos cars bring to urban life.

There are many versions of this image out there. The good ones illustrate why “better cars” will never be more than part of the answer, and actually help “lock in” the #CarDependency that’s the REAL problem. They also do a good job showing why status-quo interests want to focus on the vehicles.

The Dutch have a saying: 'You are not made of sugar, you won't melt in the rain!'. When you use a bicycle for practical purposes, the weather becomes less significant. Whether you commute to work on a bicycle, you do so both on sunny days and when it's raining.
