Housing density and mass transit = climate policy. Liberalize zoning, , reclaim streets for people not cars ⛔ 🏗️

    Trying to stop development because it's housing for "other people" is exclusionary and wrong - just another form of Trumpism ("our city is full, I got mine so F you"). YIMBYism is about sharing our cities and working to make sure more people can live here.

    This is a very dated study but look at the difference between minivans and SUVs on pedestrian safety. Relevant to the discussion this week on

    Free parking and paid parking are both horrible uses of street space in a city without dedicated bus and bike lanes.

    The photo here shows one of the tiny slices of Connecticut where tall buildings are even allowed to be built. Most of the state is a restrictively zoned car-dependent abyss with high housing costs and a declining population.

    This is a rather comprehensive and definitive history of the phrase "war on cars." As I've mentioned, it originated and was most often used by threatened motorists, not mobility advocates.

    Driving is terrifying. I think if we understood it better, we wouldn't want to drive. But then of course, most of us would be completely screwed.

    If we let become mayor of NYC he'll turn every park, plaza and sidewalk into a parking lot for his politically connected friends

    Same pattern in Brooklyn. This city puts bike lanes where they disturb the fewest number of parking spaces (in their eyes, hopefully zero) - not where they would be useful and encourage the most people to get on bikes.

    The difference between reasonable people & Nimbys. There’s nothing wrong w/ thinking your city’s gotten too crowded. But the proper response is moving to a quieter area, not staying in place while trying to block your city from growth and change.

    I can't breathe: officials in Mumbai installed decibel meters that keep traffic lights red if drivers honk. "The video shows people getting out of cars with confused looks on their faces, some yelling at each other to stop hitting the horns."

    This is what government corruption looks like.

    I thought I filmed the BP’s car being driven onto the sidewalk and backing up towards me... Then, this guard told the driver of the truck, “You have to move,” which I was thought was a mini-crackdown of ⁦⁩, but he said, “This is the ⁦⁩’ spot.”

    “Redesigning the system so that people don’t die needlessly as they go about their daily lives shouldn’t be seen as a war on cars, but rather as a righting, however slight, of a historic wrong.”

    My feelings on DOT's model of rolling out pieces of the bike network by relying on volunteers to pour months/years of their lives into convincing old guard community boards & councilmembers that we don't deserve to die is that I absolutely resent the living fuck out of it.

    It works great for older homeowners and rent-stabilized tenants. For younger renters, not so much.

    Sometimes you ask a policy question like "say, why is it illegal to build apartments on 80% of our city's land?" And it turns out that apartments were where poor and black people lived, and at the time the Supreme Court was like

    Mostly, I mean the parts of our zoning code that limit residential density - floor area limits, height limits, minimum lot sizes, etc. It's unfortunate that the name of the policy comes from the separation of e.g. industrial and residential uses, which is more reasonable.

    Outlawing private homebuilding is an insane thing to do. We did it in the 20th century for racist reasons, and we're not at all obligated to defer to past racists when making current policy.

    Did a little research, these things are $160 for a whole *month*. Meaning that – given NYC just gives away its public space for the free storage of anything with wheels – you can double the size of your apartment for around $5/day ($10/mo including ASP tickets).
