Wilkinson says Canada should not scrap climate policies to appease oil and gas executives.

An illustration showing the impact of parking requirements on land use. From left to right, the image depicts a gradient of increasing parking mandates: 'No Parking Required' allows for dense, walkable development; '1 Space per 500 Square Feet' introduces some parking; '1 Space per 250 Square Feet' adds more parking lots; and '1 Space per 100 Square Feet' results in sprawling, car-centric infrastructure with large parking lots dominating the landscape. The logo 'PRN' and 'PARKING REFORM NETWORK' are visible at the bottom.
“The right to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar, in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle, is actually the right to destroy the city.”

So an infamously bad businessman known for cheating suppliers and contractors, declaring bankruptcy, lying about his success, and being bailed out by shady and corrupt global players, is going ahead with the tariffs that every credible economic expert in the world agrees is a colossally bad idea.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.
“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath
50 reasons to want more walkable streets.
Its 5–4 decision will, in practice, free cities to dump substantially more sewage into rivers, lakes, oceans, and bays, degrading water quality standards around the country. The majority effectively greenlit the mass release of human waste into the nation’s water supply.

It’s with resurfacing as it’s all relevant: this motherfucker was impeached for trying to shake down Zelensky to invent false allegations about Joe Biden. He tried to impound congressional funds for Zelensky not complying with the shakedown.

Like every other so-called deficit hawk going to back Regan their real goal is to enrich the wealthy, gain & consolidate power, freely use the state to discriminate against "others". The deficit is the plausible shield they hide behind (see: 40 years of tax cuts & regressive policy)

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

As Gernot Wagner said over on Mastodon,
Shutting down already installed infrastructure isn't "efficiency," it's sabotage.

All this "government is the enemy" and "we must cut government due to waste, fraud, and inefficiency" is a pants-on-fire lie. The people are being taken. Federal debit is largely due to tax cuts for the wealthy and foreign military activities (notably Afghanistan & Iraq).

Vision Zero is more than a slogan & more than a program. It's a different way of doing things. If you're serious about prioritizing safety for *all* road users, commit to making real change. Here are essential steps to start: visionzeronetwork.org/where-to-sta...

This study's title sounds like "US cities are bad because they foster inequality." But they find that the problem began in the mid-20th century, which happens to be when cities started planning for cars.
So the problem isn't cities. The problem is cars.
