A map of Houston, Texas vs the outline of Paris. Both areas have the same population.
I’m having trouble wrapping my head around this. Conceptually I understand it but visually…
Houston: 3,600 per square mile
Paris: 52,000 per square mile

Our bus shelters are getting a new look. Keep an eye out as we work to deploy these new amenities in the coming months. Shelters help keep you safe, protect you from the elements and give you a place to sit. #tbt
Dottie, the new design is terrible. Hope this helps.

My favorite version of the trend in bench advertisements involving people laying down on benches where it isn’t possible to lay down and by favorite I mean most hated

Tweet that reads: Rich Mintz @richmintz
lol imagine designing an enormous public destination so that it's illegal and dangerous to walk to
Sign in the tweet: Hotel Guests attending events at
MetLife Stadium cannot walk to the stadium and cannot walk back to the hotel from the stadium.
It is illegal and dangerous
to walk on the roadways surrounding the stadium.
Please make the proper transportation arrangements.
Thank you.

This is ableist as hell, aside from being cruel and ignorant.
Anyone who’s ever had a bad back knows they need to sit during long travel days. How about just old and tired?
I loathe this.
