"How Do You Avoid Hitting People With Your Car" pocket guide. Instructs readers to Watch the Road and Slow Down. Further text humorously insists that watching the road and slowing down are indeed important.

Everyone is starting to notice our egregious typographical error.

We are sufficiently ashamed.

Please accept this corrected version of our guide:

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities

Dems could just give up corporate donors, flight to make stock trading illegal for reps, and they'd lead again.

Tufesa buses operate from Sacramento and South in CA. I use them in Arizona regularly and the service is more reliable than Greyhound. www.tufesabus.com

Do you know about the stock market? It typically appreciates a lot faster than housing and doesn't require maintenance, property taxes, etc.

"Coming to its senses" is overly generous @wired.com. Let's not give the auto industry more credit than it deserves.

I think the word is entitlement

For this to work, a city needs to allow at least 20 dwelling units per acre.

That many North American cities have limited development to 4-8 dwelling units per acre for 70+years is a non-starter.

To this very day, Donald doesn't care about US manufacturing.

He's pretending to care as a cover for pumping the stock market.

The force of the US economy is so strong. Mathematically, it has to rebound after a dip.

He's pushing it down on purpose then peddling insider info about when he'll stop

Housing policy is climate policy because housing policy is transportation policy

Single family zoning has always been about excluding poorer people from wealthy neighborhoods.

YouTube video by CBC News The bizarre way Trump’s team calculated reciprocal tariffs | About That

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang.

Then please share it.

As a neuroscientist who studies urban stress, loud cars/motorcycles should be banned, or fined excessively until drivers reassess their need to broadcast their self esteem with unnecessary noise pollution. I don’t need to hear your car in my apartment.

Despite these heroes, the bigger question looms: why is the maximum penalty for starting a fire $16k?

They clearly mean: 8pm is when Fox News et al will start reading their scripts about the "global response"

They'd also charge higher property taxes per square foot the further from the city's core a structure is located. Subsidizing service delivery to the fringes is anti-affordability.

You're describing every city

We don’t say “plane accident.” We shouldn’t say “car accident” either. Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it. In text, video and audio, our reporters expl...

@nytimes.com @nytimespr.bsky.social Auto Industry PR purposely inserted the phrase "car accident" into our lexicon in the 1930s & 40s to normalize crashes and make them seem "no fault". This characterization is journalistically irresponsible in 2025. www.vox.com/2015/7/20/89...

There was this whole thing where people said the French wouldn't embrace bicycle commuting like the Dutch because of inherent cultural traits and these lanes would be ghost towns. Instead, obviously, bike usage exploded as soon as the infrastructure was made available. These are all lessons people!

Recreational and professional cycling isn't a strong corollary with commuter and practical cycling.

The User-Pay Myth: Everyone — Not Just Drivers — Pays for Our Roads — Streetsblog USA It's sort of the central myth of American transportation. Let's debunk it once and for all.

It's sort of the central myth of American transportation. Let's debunk it once and for all.

In many cases, the additional infrastructure maintenance (roads, sewers, electrical lines) needed just to reach a place doesn't warrant maintaining buildings (like single family homes) in said place and the buildings should be abandoned.

Closing Central Madrid To Cars Resulted In 9.5% Boost To Retail Spending, Finds Bank Analysis City of Madrid significantly boosted the takings of its shops and restaurants last Christmas by banning cars from the CBD, finds an analysis by Spain's second largest bank.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

There is going to be a lot of construction in the future in any case. In many instances it makes more sense to build a more practically located building from scratch rather than maintain an existing one in an impractical location w low quality materials and without regional adaptation.

Could be less of a luxury and much more common if such places weren't illegal to build more of. The accessibility of walkable urbanism is a policy choice.

Whether or not a route is high traffic depends on where we built everything. Put in the tracks and build oriented around them. Voila.

The Case for Mass Upzoning Murray and Gordon argue against mass upzonings that are unaccompanied by value capture tools based on the grounds that (a) cities are giving away valuable public air rights to private property owne...

"I posit that mass rezoning is not only justifiable but also one of the most cost-effective and least risky policy solutions for tackling housing affordability and supply challenges in the United States." www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Going to a rally is "pushback"?

Just gonna leave this here
