Great piece from @dsquareddigest.bsky.social, which touches on one of the big theories for why English-speaking countries do especially badly at housebuilding:
Adversarial and litigious common law systems (Anglo) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere.

I don't understand how "you aren't everyone" is such a difficult concept for some folks
dying of scurvy to own the libs
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car
cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities
if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars
I see three different approaches and I'm curious how they relate: utility led top down VPP, market driven, or digital decentralized Electric Protocol. Do we have to pick? Can they coexist?
I like loosening requirements to allow flexible residential/commercial conversions and vice versa. Instead of trying to guess the perfect location and ratio of residential or commercial space, let people do conversions.
What makes Will cool is how much he fucking loathes those people. Maybe they're into that, not my business.
Columbia City when 😫
Curious to see if they switch battery chemistry. With the EV incentives gone, they don't have to use US made batteries so there might be some cheaper options.
I'm curious to what extent this is local vs regional or national. And what areas are able to keep building with headwinds(tarrifs/rates/ICE/etc), and why?
There was a great one a few weeks ago where the trade in put the car $45k underwater, absolute cinema.
Soooo... what happened?
oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
ICE is distinguishable by their rotundity, their stature, their slobby half-civilian uniforms, their visible lack of physical conditioning, and their total lack of training.
Border Patrol is distinguishable because they’re always equipped like they’re about to ship out for Fallujah.

DFL Party Statement on Trump and Bondi's Attempt to Extort Our State Voter Rolls "Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are demanding access to Minnesotans’ voter rolls in exchange for relieving us from the federal siege we are under," said DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom. "Let us be direct: Fuck off."
We put men on the moon; I think we can add a moving walkway to an existing parking structure.
I'm not convinced by the "we can't fit a moving walkway" argument. Somebody makes a low-profile moving walkway. We can squeeze it in. You're spending billions on renovations, you can make that work.
Also weather-sealing/heaters would be nice
This is close to where I live, so thank you for speaking to this tragedy. My heart breaks for the victim and family. We cannot tolerate the systems that enable this to happen.
Local safe streets advocate has more photos of bike lanes, crosswalks and intersections than of his family from recent vacation. WINDSOR, ON - The father of two who went with the family to Montreal for their summer vacation ended up spending nearly ¾ of the time pointing out bike infrastructure, intersections and pedestrianized streets. It's been reported that nearly 753 photos and videos were taken with only 3 of them including his family. When reached for comment the oldest child said "we know it's gonna be bad when dad finds a bike share

i thank god every day
BIG LOON
how do we feel about impact fees?
oh my god. we did it. we did the worst thing: "transit oriented slip lanes."
Scientists created a dolphin with legs.
Animal rights groups want the legs removed.
But that would defeet the porpoise
'The city of Seattle has elected not to fill a giant sinkhole after neighbor objects. "It just adds some nice character" said the local, in reference to the gaping 20 ft deep hole in the street.'
As per usual the safety of children is less important than the ignorant opinion of some crank
that whole area screams "1970s traffic engineer on crack" and needs to be torn down immediately.
