Thinking about the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing and how Italy's security services blamed it on anarchists, arrested nearly 100 activists and threw one of them out the 4th floor window of the police station.

The bombing was carried out by a neo-fascist group with ties to the state security services.

Suarez has always been a piece of shit, literally 10+ years of this worldwide. It’s amazing that he hasn’t been banned, he’s bitten someone during a World Cup match!!

I’m just gonna keep buying these while they’re on sale even though they will only sell me 4 a week. How many copies do you think I need to buy to fund a trip to Anchorage, @holz-bau.bsky.social ? At this rate every Anchorage Assembly member should have one by October.

You should watch Dark on Netflix. Not really exactly about this but it’s tangentially very similar

A great thing about ebikes is that they turn non-cyclists into cyclists.

I worry about getting shot or hit by a car far more than I do about bears, even living in Alaska. Bears are relatively predictable at least

Nyc alone has a population greater than the 9 least populous states. Senate malapportionment is bad!

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress

Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

What benefits do townhouses have over stacked flats? I get the carcinization analogy but townhomes aren’t an ideal form to pursue as much as they’re induced by code, no?

Also β€œincluding basement residences” is a bit of a buried lede (or buried tenants.) We have tons of half-basement units in Anchorage and they’re miserable; the bar for new multifamily should be higher than ground-level windows.

And are they limiting it to busy wide roads that nobody wants to live on? No.

Are they asking for community design review approval? No.

Do they make them sit around for 5 years responding to frivolous permit comments before shovels hit the ground? No.

Maybe there’s more to this answer? Yes.

The complete eradication of Rafah - a city with a quarter of a million residents - should and will be remembered as a crime against humanity, amongst the worst modern urbicides

You were not meant to learn whatever the fuck setbacks or floorplates are

You are ONLY supposed to show up & say β€œmake housing bigger & more abundant”, β€œmake transit faster & more frequent”, & if they give you plannerspeak excuses your job is not to nod & understand because that’s how they get you

Someday North America will get away from hyper-specific local plans that miss the forest for the trees trying to micromanage urbanization. But not today!

the majority of european ecodistricts do not have an 'anchor' - unless you count a high quality of life, more than a token amount of affordable housing, and abundant open and green space as anchors (i do, fwiw!)

in america, planners can force designers to make massive buildings look like little ones

but the effect is sh*t, in part because our building codes don't allow for large buildings to be made up of many smaller buildings.

we should be able to do this.
