Transportation equity means prioritizing transit thatβs moving a LOT more people in a lot less space. Thatβs ironically better for EVERYONE, including drivers.

New from The Downballot: A wild overperformance in St. Paul shows Minnesotans will "crawl over broken glass" to voteβdespite ICE.
I wrote about this a while ago. Not only are ICE and CBP growing, they are sucking up other federal law enforcement. And employees of those agencies, in turn, will adopt the norms and practices of immigration enforcement, such as wearing masks.

Itβs common sense to proactively address/mitigate climate change.
Itβs common sense to reduce pollution, emissions and particulates in cities.
Itβs common sense to proactively cool cities, quiet cities, clean cities.
Itβs common sense to move more people in less space and with lower public costs.
Watch out for this kind of thing in YOUR city too.

βAir pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.β
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, itβs remarkable that more cities HAVENβT done the same.
WATCH: When @penalosag.bsky.social asked me a few years ago to join him in his YouTube series on parks & cities, I knew I wanted to talk about the common (and frustrating) false choice between more density and more integration of nature into cities. So we went deep into that. Give it a watch/share.
