5 steps to making better cities Before you can do the right thing, you have to do the right thing badly. And before that, you have to do the wrong thing.

Is your city still stuck “doing the wrong things better?” How about “trying to have your cake and eat it too?”

I created these “5 Steps To Better Cities” as a tool to support a conversation about urban change in the cities I work with. It works. Then I turned it into this @fastcompany.com article.

How much will it cost to remove and repair all this crap?!?!

Hmmm - sounds like when Tom Hagen met Frankie 5angels…

Sad

Wilmer Hale should tell Trump to go to hell. So should Jenner.

History will not be kind to the cowards at Paul Weiss nor any other firm that collaborates with Trump to destroy the rule of law.

Grotesque

Given what happened with the group chat about the Houthi raids - I see no reason to believe that Musk did NOT get the China briefing from SecDef.

Somebody needs to go to jail…

Always delighted to see you with Nicole Wallace - means we will be getting some serious Constitutional tutoring !

We are now actually selling the rights of citizenship….probably comes with an NFT of the mug shot…

While on the opposite side of political life, I remember the Ev and Charlie Show when the Rs in Congress regularly took shots at the Ds. So - Ds, let’s do it!

Slide saying “never forget, the best transportation plan is a great land-use plan” by Brent Toderian of @toderianUW.bsky.social

The best transportation plan is a great land-use plan. But too many cities still let flawed traffic modelling actually prevent smarter land-use decisions, resulting in what I call the “sweet spot of failure” — enough density to cause all those local traffic problems, but never enough to solve them.

As of December 2024, the average price for a dozen Grade A large eggs in the United States was $4.15, reflecting a 36.8% increase from the same period in the previous year. Let’s see what the Orange Guy can do…

Good points but the statement about Freiburg is a bit misleading. The city is actually pretty flat - it is the Schauinsland mountain adjacent to but not in the city that is indeed over 1,000 meters in height.

OK - I have returned to MSNBC

I never liked Diet Coke anyway.

Rest in Peace

Anybody depending on Susan Collins to save this is smoking something I want…

I am tired of streaming series using text messages on cell phones to move the plot along. Lazy writers…

So the Iowa AG and SOS are suing the feds because Iowa officials can’t enforce their own laws?
