I asked a local small scale developer (who owns over 100 small commercial properties in the urban core of Kansas City) what he thinks about the recent road diets done along his properties… …he absolutely loves them. Great for business. “Let’s do it everywhere” !!!! Let’s go!

Sometimes I google e-bikes just so my social media feeds feed me pictures of beautiful e-bikes. Could be worse. I’m not actually in the market for a new bike but no one needs to know that.

The car opened up a new way of building cities and organizing ourselves spacially. That’s the story of the past 100 years. We now have e-bikes, scooters, and AVs. IMO it’s time to develop new patterns of living/moving based on these technologies. But what does that look like?

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people CHOICES to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.

There’s a huge double standard when it comes to funding public transit vs funding highways. It plays out in various ways in how society looks at the costs of building & operating transit vs highways. The result is massive under-investment in transit. 🧵:

we should be concerned about the impacts of social media on kids and teens, but i don’t think we’re worried nearly enough about what it’s doing to middle aged people and seniors

You know, with free public healthcare, the government would have significant financial incentives to build safe walkable communities. Fewer car crashes = lower healthcare costs. More walking = lower healthcare costs. Maybe urbanist need to be universal healthcare advocates too.

Anyone else translate car expenses into equivalent e-bikes? I do this all the time $2000 car repair? That’s like 1.5 e-bikes. $30k new car? That’s like 20 e-bikes. Etc.

Hot take. The amount of parking a development provides should be determined solely by the developer and their banker. They are the ones taking the risk and holding the bag. Why should the government have a say, except, perhaps, to limit large lots for environmental reasons etc?

Had 71 not been built, much of the suburban housing in Lees Summit, Grandview, Belton etc would not exist today and the traffic generated from this suburban housing also would not exist. We destroyed urban housing to make suburban housing possible. Let’s reverse this.

Been thinking about how to build new small, sustainable, walkable towns on Federal lands…but getting power to these places seems like a major hurdle. Not anymore? Connect them with train service and freight in batteries charged by the Nevada desert. Maybe we don’t need small nuclear reactors…

that's right! 'The case for single-stairwell, mid-size multifamily buildings is gaining support in the U.S. Lawmakers in at least 10 states, including California, Oregon, and Washington, have either considered or passed legislation to allow such structures.' www.bdcnetwork.com/multifamily-...

We’re not lacking in talent. We’re just getting in our own way. The craftsman and designers are ready and willing, but our land-use and building codes largely obstruct beautiful places from getting built here

Kansas City's transit general manager says what I've been saying all along about on-demand transit or microtransit: It's useful in niche settings but wildly overhyped. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... My 2019 take saying the same thing is here: humantransit.org/2019/08/what...

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Walking around a new car free neighborhood in Phoenix. Everything seems fine. Nice even. And super quiet.
