So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I like when people tell me a post car dependence USA is "never gonna happen"

The way I see it, if we don't move past car dependence, there will be no USA. So it is inevitable either way. We must adapt or we will perish.

Rent control is a crucial part of the urbanist conversation. Cities need to get bolder in their approach to ensuring housing for the people who work in the city. Housing is a human right, and I believe in a day when it is guaranteed and safe transportation is always accessible.

guaranteed in EVERY community. It makes sense. Good urban form is attractive, and reclaiming urban areas for people isn't fair when the price tag no longer suits the people who live there. But bike lanes aren't really the problem, right? They are a tool of equity just like transit.

Q: Why don't urbanists seem to care about gentrification?
A: There is an observable trend of whiteness in urbanist spaces. It reminds me of the twitter truism "gentrification starts with a bike lane." It never sat right with me and I think Doug put it very well when he said safe streets should be...

This addictive game is like ‘SimCity’ but for transit nerds The goal of ‘Subway Builder’ is to move people from A to B. Some believe it might just start a transit revolution in the process.

Good review of the new game Subway Builder. Warning: The game is not based on real US construction costs, because, in the designer's words, "it would have made the game unplayable." www.fastcompany.com/91421609/thi...

2025 has been the year of the rookie pitcher

Redditors are weird, but it is very much her public-facing work related account. She uses it as an extension of her teaching.

It took me a year to win a game and 6 more months to win my first set against a guy who had no idea how to play. You have improved a ton, don't let stats get you down.

Is there some kind of anti Ebike propaganda? Why does my mom hate them all of a sudden?

Eastern Washington is pretty cool, can't wait to visit Spokane again
