If the time comes, be like South Korea…

It’s amazing how a little exercise can completely change your mood.

Cost of living is a problem throughout the country, but it’s off the charts in California. Why? Because of our obscenely high housing costs, driven by a massive housing shortage.

We make it way, way too hard to build new homes & that needs to change. 🧵

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Trump ordered permit streamlining for fossil fuel extraction but not for solar & wind siting.

The fossil fuel oligarchs are basically reminding everyone that the tech oligarchs aren’t the only ones with sway.

This guy won the popular vote. That’s why I say America deserves everything we get.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

It’s been liberating for me. #TeamBlueSky!

Evening message of strength.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.
