Tady volné proluky a povrchová parkoviště v centru, 1 512 062 m2 plochy, při pěti patrech cca 120 tisíc bytů. Bohužel by se někomu mohl změnit výhled, takže naserte si a jděte bydlet do Fulneka.

Praha, druhé nejdražší bydlení v EU.

Nový Metropolitní plán: tady je cca 30km2 kde se nikdy nesmí změnit výhled.

"Památkáři nechtěli stromy a zeleň, město chtělo víc parkování." !!!

Ouverture du train régional à la concurrence : "Ce sera beaucoup plus compliqué et beaucoup plus cher, il ne faut pas se leurrer" Suite à l'attribution des liaisons TER de "l'étoile ferroviaire caennaise" à RATP Dev face à l'historique SNCF par la Région, les syndicats de cheminots normands se mobilisent contre l’ouverture à la ...

Here's the deal, SNCF workers

SNCF exists to transport passengers. It does not exist - primarily! - to keep you in work

Besides it being almost farcical - having these unelectrified and/or one track lines (cf also Ceske Budejovice-Linz) connecting east-west europe as if it's still the 1880s, this is now a security issue too- if the need should arise to transfer material/soldiers, the infrastructure is just not ready.

Pläne für Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale weiter auf Eis Trotz wirtschaftlicher Vorteile bleibt der Ausbau der Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale gestoppt. Wann es weitergeht, ist offen - dabei steigen die Fahrgastzahlen deut

Damn Germany - and *especially Bayern* - cannot get its shit together to renovate railways.

Electrifying Hof-Nürnberg (and also Hof-Regensburg) makes obvious sense, but it drags and drags.

There'd also be EU money for this! #CrossBorderRail importance too bahnblogstelle.com/238249/

Try going from Prague to Munchen by train - I know you have tried, this is just an exclamation of despair.

Disordered doubt isn’t about healthy scepticism. It’s a systematic effort to break trust in evidence, institutions, and truth itself. It thrives by creating confusion rather than clarity.

Great thread comparing what happened with Nixon with what is *not* happening with Trump.

In essence: the abdication of the gatekeepers.

"I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."

Les Etats-unis, c'est moi.

Dobře do toho řežeš:-) Všechno downstream od špatně nastaveného property tax systému. Pokud by si město na sebe mohlo/muselo vydělat jinak, než "čekáním" co mu pošle stát, tak by najednou možná pěstování řepky vedle stanic metra nebylo takové ROI terno.

In this case, Inversionism isn’t anti-imperialism. It’s reaction dressed up as principle. And its function isn’t to understand the world, it’s to preserve an identity built entirely around opposition to the West, whatever the cost.

Incredible

Současná legislativní úprava navrhování cykloinfrastruktury již dlouho nevyhovuje a vede k nebezpečným, nepřehledným a komplikovaným situacím. Pojďme probrat několik možných úprav, kterými by Ministerstvo dopravy mohlo modernizovat naší mobilitu uvnitř měst.

Mr Blonde’s “I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me” is now less a line from a movie, and more a statement of public policy for far too many governments.

Remembering Michael Madsen

Mne cim dal vic prijde, ze nejsprostsi ceske slovo je ambice. Ty pohledy na soucasne Polsko fakt boli.

🧵 Several people have raised questions about what I meant by "deservedly so" when referring to the decline of institutional trust. It's a fair question, so I want to explain that, because it sits at the heart of my work on how democracies collapse when their epistemic foundations rot.

Takže 21, krát 85 bytů, to je teoreticky 1785 bytů.

Milé, ale 1785 bytů je podle dnešního ÚP *kompletní* kapacita celé milionové Prahy! A to ještě velmi teoretická, protože na většině těch pozemků už nějaká budova stojí. "Prázdné" jsou tyto čtyři:

Kdyby tam postavili chodnik, nemusely by dodavky jezdit po silnici! 😜

Parking clouds people's minds, shifting analytic faculties to a low level. Rational people quickly become emotional; staunch conservatives turn into ardent communists. Thinking about parking seems to take place in the reptilian cortex, the primitive part of the brain said to govern behavior like aggression, territoriality, and ritual display-all factors in parking. Some strongly support market prices-except for parking. Some strongly oppose subsidies -except for parking. Some abhor planning regulations-except for parking. Some insist on rigorous data collection and statistical tests-except for parking. This exceptionalism has impoverished thinking about parking policies. If drivers paid the full cost of their parking, it would seem too expensive, so we expect someone else to pay for it. But a city where everyone happily pays for everyone else's free parking is a fool's paradise.

Tohle od nedávno zemřelého #DonaldShoup znáš? 😀

Presne mi bezelo hlavou "z mych danich se bude platit za to, aby v Praze hlavne nebyly byty". Marnost nad marnost.

Vsude kolem Prahy zastavujeme pole, abychom mohli mit pole uvnitr Prahy. K polim kolem Prahy draze stavime infrastrukturu, abychom si pak stezovali, ze lide chteji dojizdet do Prahy. Vysledny stav nevyhovuje prakticky nikomu, ale aspon to bylo pro vsechny hodne drahe. Cesko 2025.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

One of the most urgent contemporary challenges is getting people in Western Europe to accept that what used to be implausible, no longer is.

Prokop: „Zvykli jsme si na to, že drtíme nízkopříjmové a celý systém jede na nich, z minimální mzdy se jim vezme cca 120 tisíc ročně, oni se v systému nevyznají, tak si nestěžují, a pomáháme těm bohatým. Je to stejné uplácení voličů, jako když se přidává důchodcům.“

A to jsi porad v jedny z urbanisticky nejvic vydarenych casti Prahy.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

As someone once said of Conservatism, but it perhaps has a far wider application:

"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
