Careful what you wish for...

The Dawn Ave station walkshed is a doozy

Actually it's probably Charleston

Buffalo seems the most out of place here

Table listing US Urban Centers by their percentage of residents born in other states. New York is at the 16th percentile, listed near cities such as Saginaw, MI and Canton, OH

Really something that sorting by this metric gives you a group of New York, California, the Deep South, and the Rust Belt. And NYC is still getting a boost from NJ/CT residents moving across state lines

Book cover, "Anatomy of a Metropolis" by Edgar Hoover and Raymond Vernon

All excerpts from this remarkably prescient 1959 report

Text excerpt noting that from 1947 to 1954, most large cities including NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh saw an absolute decline in manufacturing jobs

always a good reminder that the overall decline in manufacturing jobs predates interstates, foreign competition, shrinking union membership rates, etc

Data table showing that manufacturing firms' locations in the NYC metro in 1956 varied significantly by size; only 8% of firms with 240+ employees were based in the City while 61% of firms with <60 employees were

Table showing the changing proportion of NYC metro manufacturing firms' locations share within the City over time. While both small and large companies steadily moved out of the City, larger firms did so more rapidly

Interesting how much the geographic deconcentration of manufacturing may has been due to overall industry consolidation over time...

Appreciate the response... The neighborhood here is already well along that transition; there's a former roundhouse less than a mile away that's now a coworking space

The tension between (re)growing residential density and potential industrial sprawl is just really interesting and tough

"[Short line CEO] said that Warwick’s legislation targets the most sustainable method of land freight transportation.

“Each year, our trains remove nearly 200,000 trucks from local roads, eliminate [more than] 300,000 tons of carbon emissions"'

@sandypsj.bsky.social curious if you have thoughts, are RRs nationwide leaning on these arguments frequently now or is this just in response in this case to the roots of the proposed legislation here?

Alternatively, assuming you're riding the T up through the South Hills, you can get off at the Allentown/Warrington stop and walk to Grandview Park (up to you if you'd rather have a grand or a fine view)

Taking the steps up to the Fineview Overlook will give you the best view of downtown (and an extremely satisfying hike)

Legislation and culture has been pretty fluid, with alternating waves of backlash and popularity

It's been bubbling up in new master-planned Sun Belt developments for awhile now, seems to have only recently started to spread to neighboring areas with much less hospitable infra

Yeehaw Junction left out :(

Screenshot from Urbanstats listing off various statistics where one of Belle Glade/Ithaca is in the top percentile among Metro Clusters and the other is at the bottom

If you ever add a similarity score type of metric I think we've got a "winner"

This has to be the only stat that Ithaca and Belle Glade aren't on completely opposite ends of the spectrum

Mind sharing an example of what you're seeing on IG? I'm nebby

those 4 are the ones who were endorsed by the county Dem Party, whose other recs are also all winning now

The grass is for stormwater drainage, you can see the culvert outlets a little further down

The Transit Tunnel is closed until the Fall... But that means street-running light rail through Allentown!
