federal zoning codes when? (germany also)

a brutalized neon flex post with tire tracks all over it and tire tracks in the bike lane behind it.

Wear bright clothing.

when you de-pave streets, you don't need to land bank for new parks

It is truly up there with @gunnerblog.bsky.social’s Fuck Magpies Forever in my Arsenal podcasting lore

It’s just this meme if you replace “bankruptcy” with “gentrification”

Incredible animation. No notes.

The difference is night and day

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

I recently moved to NYC. Any pro-housing organizations or groups you’d recommend getting involved in?

94% of Parisians live within a 5-minute walk of a bakery. My kingdom for urbanism this good in the US.

Some news: This winter Team Oonee is launching NYC's first Dutch-Style🚲 parking hub in Brooklyn's Sunset Park. The Hub will provide free parking for 100+ bikes/scooters, and will include safe charging, and appt based repairs + lite service. This will make history in several ways.

Between June 2024 and June 2025, home prices in America fell in metro areas where available housing inventories increased from June 2019 levels. Prices rose in metro areas where inventory is still below June 2019 levels.

This is my politics.

As someone who works in the FinCrime space, this is pretty laughable because the DOD has absolutely zero jurisdiction here. DOJ, Treasury, FinCen? Sure. DOD? Absolutely not.

BLUESKY NOW HAS A BOOKMARK FUNCTION

Famously no FBI informant has ever participated in the crimes that they were informing upon, just ask anyone from Boston.

We need cheap rent so idiosyncratic weirdos can make a living pursuing their passions.

People who oppose new housing constitute a pro landlord lobby

My German girlfriend started going to school without her parents when she was 6. She either walked with friends or took the bus (normal bus, there were no school buses) or tram.

American suburbia is unsustainable and makes people miserable

“People from other states shouldn’t be allowed to move here” is just a localized version of Trump’s “build the wall” immigration policy

I remember reading a stat that was something along the lines of 25% of DC residents live in a historic district, both of those 25% about 80% are white. Historic preservation is just segregation preservation

This ad is going to make me the Joker

God I wish BlueSky had a bookmark function

Is it possible that…urbanism is a winning strategy in cities?

My housing politics is firmly rooted in our moral duty to welcome immigrants and refugees into our communities. Fulfilling that obligation requires actually building homes so these people can find places to live.

People of all ages and abilities walk, cycle, sit, and socialise along the residential streets of Amsterdam, which are lined with buildings, trees, flowers and plantings, benches, and terraces.

Walk anywhere in Amsterdam and you’ll sense a calm coherence: bricks, curbs, fixtures, benches, bollards and drains that look related. This isn’t accidental. It’s a product of the Puccini Method, the city’s standards—part design language, part technical playbook—for shaping every street and square.🧵

It is the greatest imperative that as soon as democrats have power they make DC a state.

This is fascism.

Cool, but what if teenagers weren't forced into car dependency just to get to school, eliminating the need to greenwash car parking lots.
