There needs to be a state law about how these propaganda mailers and emails re-word the legislation. The legislation remove parking minimums. It does not dictate how much parking is or is not built.

Mayor Harrell Still Not Sure Why City Wants Social Housing Funds He Can’t Steal from and Give to Cops: bit.ly/430iR50

Elon musk appeals to all those who think class action lawsuits are a real win for the consumers. Which is very relevant because this is the FUCKING CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU that protected us from SCAMS.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

"the high cost of free parking" is a book that legit rewired my brain. RIP to a great scholar

Exciting! But a shame it has to take so long. I wish we could take the ROW for the tracks by eminent domain or something. Then we’d have control over the maintenance and upgrades that we want for the rail network. And of course it could happen much faster without BNSF getting in the way.

This rocks. But I wish these had doors on them for extreme heat and cold for the drivers. Probably some dumb legal reason that these don’t have doors. Same reason why we can’t sell kei cars here new (outside of market demand ofc).

"Neighborhood character" defenders tell us that density and greenery cannot coexist. West End in Vancouver tells us they are liars. *These photos are the same street

We need a 1000 Luigis at this point.

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

Here's a segment of Mayor Harrell's proposed "corridor upzones" superimposed on the Costco parking lot, to scale. I'm pretty sure people are willing to walk more than 35 seconds to get to a shop.

to be fair what other website could i find this shit

The growing unaffordability of housing due to massive under-building is breathtaking. It now takes an income of $117,000 to afford a median-priced home. Median income is $84,000. It’s unsustainable. It’s creating instability & empowering political extremists. WE NEED TO BUILD MANY MORE HOMES.

NEW: My staff just got ahold of this memo from House Budget Committee Republicans. It's lengthy and hard to digest but it tells us exactly how Republicans plan to sell out the American people for another round of tax cuts to the rich. We're breaking down the highlights as we go:

What is the charge? Writing a post? An innocent online post?

I have no idea why I drew this…

cannot overstate the degree to which i am negatively polarized against nimbys. like, if you go to a public meeting to speak against lower cost housing i think the city should eminent domain your house and your house specifically

Really good write-up on the effects of active leadership in a city. So many cities lead by committee of council-goers that only complain and stall progress or worse, revert from progress. It’s doing great for Paris, so why not here?

Are you fucking kidding me. I don't know enough to weigh in on the hate crime angle here, but we have clear video of a driver running over two people and it's okay becaue he was apologetic?
