This may be true, but I don't think I've ever defender america's built environment. It certainly has a worse built environment than where I've chosen to live.

Regardless a totally car brained built environment. My coworker who lived there for a time did not have particular positive reviews of the place.

This might be the craziest development happening in the US…

4,000 units in high-rises, rents at $1,300 for a studio, $1,600 for a 1br, and $1,900 for a 2br

Fondly recalling the 2010s, when one could borrow money for free and instead of densifying our cities and building electric-powered mass transit, we pretended Uber rides would always be cheap and worked hard to prevent "transit-oriented gentrification."

US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way

Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

I think you originally argued against this because it was a poor fit for capacity increases, but maybe in a flatter post COVID age it might be a good idea?

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Don’t forget the infamous immigration line at jfk.

Never in my life have I felt more ripped off than when I rented a car at jfk. I think approximately half the price went to the state.

I have flown Ryanair from Milan to Naples for €8. Less than the cost of taking LIRR to Woodside at rush hour. bsky.app/profile/kobk...

In part due to the fact Sacramento is a city filled with civil servants and good government nerds, our city subreddit is obsessed with a parking enforcement worker named “Nakamura” who apparently nails mfs left and right who are illegally parked.

JR運賃が来週から値上げ　1987年の会社発足以来“約40年ぶり”【スーパーJチャンネル】(2026年3月6日) YouTube video by ANNnewsCH

For the first time in 40 years JR East has raised its fares. Which tells you 1. How bad deflation was in Japan. 2. How inefficient JNR was.

That didn’t take long: GOL plans to launch thrice weekly service between Rio Galeao and New York JFK with its new A330-900s on July 8.

So long, asshole. Lowkey one of the most destructive Trump appointees.

Lying on the procedure table and listening to the medical staff talk about how the issue with Raleigh is that the shops and restaurants don't have enough parking, I think to myself "It's a good thing I'm sedated."

Sorry you were hit at a bus stop.

Connecticut literally has had electric trains since before my grandmother was born.

They may have. I am just saying I would like it

I in fact would love this.

Sorry I have the sides switched. Should read wmata left, metro right

WMATA (right) v LA Metro (left) the cost differential for rail mystifies me a little.

Easy to comp in theory on the NTD. In practice is can be harder. (For example NTD prices metros on car mile, but cars arent the same length...)

Mayor Mamdani Launches New Efforts to Take Sidewalk Sheds Down, Require Fewer Unnecessary Sheds

Holy crap, Mamdani is finally doing something to bring down sidewalk sheds that will actually sort of work! Sheds will no longer be required more than 40 ft. away from buildings, which will be a help to NYCHA and other towers-in-a-park complexes www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Extremely Californian thing to be like “yeah I could never afford to move to my neighborhood today” and then just move on as if it’s not a problem

I severely doubt that the permits would ever be close to the original selling price but fair enough.

I think the idea that the city could spontaneously buy your spot back at a deep discount undermines the ability of this to work as a market. The city paying market rates when it profits so handsomely from the transactions seems much more stable.

@deepdishenjoyer.bsky.social is I believe I professionally financier by at least training. Given he was a Chicagoan he may have even been a professionally commodities head. (He’s moved from Chicago to Boston so who knows what he does now.)

This is @ctillier.bsky.social music!

Thank god for the Japanese. The only people willing to pay for high quality made in America shoes.
