I make things, including bike rides, state housing laws, bread, and trouble. Quality varies with rainfall, political winds, and tire pressure. Run comms at @cayimby for the love of cities.

That color scheme. This looks like a screenshot from that alternate history Wolfenstein game where Nazis win WW2 and take over the USA.

Highly recommend Adam Savageβs latest video!
He spent years using a bike as his primary transit in NYC and understands the freedom it brings. Nice to see a prominent voice validating that we don't need 4,000lb boxes just to navigate a city.
When homes are built in extreme hazard zones, and local jurisdictions gave them the building permits, and so electric utilities are required *by law* to build power lines to serve those newly-permitted high-risk homes (which is most new homes in the US) ...
Who's gonna pay?
All of us. That's who.
From California to Texas, electric utilities are struggling to manage mounting fire risk in a warming climate. They are spending more than ever before on lawsuits and settlements, as well as on preventative measures, such as undergrounding lines. 1/5

I know there's little chance of getting normal people to think about how ubiquitous government regulations mandating car ownership and driving are one of two leading cause of financial struggles in the US.
But at least the data is there. We really don't want to see it. www.npr.org/2025/10/29/n...
In ~ 2015, US carmakers started telling investors/analysts about plans to stop making smaller, affordable cars in favor of larger, far more expensive trucks and SUVs.
The plan: Sell fewer new trucks/SUVs, drive up profitability AND ALSO increase the cost of used cars (by reducing supply).
Welp.

Why isnβt L.A. repaving streets? - LA Public Press
How shitty is this? We arenβt paving our streets because LA doesnβt want to have to put in ADA compliant curbs and bike lanes. WTF.

regional transit connections map, lots of transit on it across the whole Bay
The Bay Area's new transit map is out and it comes with one incredibly exciting change: parks accessible by transit services!
Let's talk regional wayfinding to parks and destinations π§΅

that's great.
road traffic noise that causes heart attacks (& other severe health impacts) is from tires rolling at speed; there is no improvement in noise from EVs at speed; let's agree to pull out urban freeways and cap urban speeds at 20 mph, which ensures the only noise will be from engines.

Tailpipe pollution from cars is the largest source of emissions in the United States β and housing policies that reduce car dependence can go a long way towards addressing it. For example, state and local govt.'s can adopt:
