Why legalize taller single-stair housing in the U.S. and Canada? I co-wrote this brief with an affordable housing developer answering the question about why there are efforts to reform the code to unlock more 'missing middle' housing in North America. www.mercatus.org/research/pol...

You can achieve a high density of housing with strong quality of life when you prioritize people over cars and in new developments. Merwede 🇳🇱: 10,000 residents on 60 acres. Culdesac 🇺🇸: 1,000 residents on 17 acres. Assembly Row 🇺🇸: 2,400 residents on 45 acres.

I mentioned this on Monday's... Climate resilience planning (that got stripped because of EO) makes us safer and is of great monetary value because we don't spend money to have something flood again. Now enter FEMA deciding not to enforce flood rules on public infrastructure... nyti.ms/3Qn89yf

Parking policies are a justice issue. More parking means more car dependency, a subsidy for the wealthy, and fewer resources for the majority in the global South who rely on public transport and walking. Xitter @worldbank @aardilagomez https://buff.ly/4hNn2px #parking #cityplanning […]

Bike lane use should only be allowed by single speed, steel framed penny farthings. I have no kinship with many of these multi-geared, double-triangle speed demons. As far as I'm concerned, bikes that multiply their torque advantage through gearing and chains are completely different beasts.

This take is way off. Banning e-bikes from bike lanes forces parents, disabled riders, and workers who use e-bikes into traffic. The real safety issue? Dangerous drivers and lack of protected infrastructure—not people using bikes for transportation.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, the Courier Mail has been found to have completely made up a story about a high school teacher who "identified as a cat". I hope the QTU helps the teacher sue the shit out of the paper and the people who spread defamatory lies on social media. Gutter rag

Why does the DfI act like this? The evidence from around the world is that active transport is the solution to congestion & pollution with added major health benefits. "Belfast cycling campaigners hit out at ‘hidden’ DfI consultation on taxis in bus lanes" www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/belfast...

Have you heard? Paris has limited through-traffic from parts of its historic city centre, so they could reallocate space for people, cut pollution and congestion, and improve quality-of-life. Leadership.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Just A-grade pure cowardice. This is genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the United States suggesting it will seize and occupy the lands of the Palestinian people. And the Australian prime minister can't even offer an opinion. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

So, is literally anyone in the Albanese government going to say anything at all about what’s going on in the US? Trump has just announced he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Musk has the codes to the US Treasury, they’ve deleted US AID … meanwhile Albo, Marles and Penny are still mumbling ‘AUKUS’

Imagine willingly giving the most powerful military in the history of the world to a well known corrupt and crooked real estate developer, and then acting surprised when he’s obsessed with stealing land around the world. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a shitty golf course.

There’s no evidence that vaccines cause autism. You know what there IS evidence of, when it comes to causal factors for autism? Air pollution. So cars. Including tail pipes, tire particles, brake pads. And fossil fuel energy-related pollution, industrial pollution, etc. And not just autism.

If accurate, I want to point out that, when removing folks from civil service for being Jewish, or communist, or other “undesirables” as one of his first acts as Chancellor, Hitler specifically included teachers.

I really don't want to see the US erupt into violent chaos, but given how things are developing less than two weeks in, I don't see it playing out any other way. There is no representative democracy left here anymore. Not a shred.

A friend wrote to me today asking if I had time for a chat. We spoke. He desperately cried. His father, who was killed by a drunk driver (he was cycling), is ‘worth’ 3,000 euros and a three-month driving ban. Sometimes these days just have too much inhumanity. Why are we so vulnerable on our bikes?
