I'm really blown away by the selfishness of some suburbanites. It's one (bad) thing to prohibit inexpensive housing choices in your own community, but it's a whole other level to oppose it in cities 10 or 20 miles away because it'd make parking there more difficult for you.

Just talked to our members and partners in Austin, TX to congratulate them for the city council voting 10-1 to eliminate parking mandates citywide!
There’s still work to be done to pass the implementation, but this is a momentous step forward.

Tired: minimum parking mandates
Wired: state preemption
Inspired: Federal preemption!

Next week, I’m submitting a bill to the U.S. House that eliminates parking minimums across the country in transit rich zones. We are in a housing crisis and eliminating parking requirements lowers costs to build. It’s good housing, climate & transit policy. Stay tuned.

Firstly “zero parking ordinance” is bad framing.
Secondly, keeping indefensible parking mandates on the books for a year is predatory delay.
Get with it Olympia, you’re falling behind your peer capital cities.

This article is NUTS!
You got a state building parking at $90k per stall.
The next step of their plan is to build a Lyft/Uber waiting area.
Complaints about homeless people sheltering at the station.
Drivers blocked housing.
Connect the dots!!!

Giving huge tax credits for buying cars that then need massive public investment so they are useful is a bad public policy.

This is so ridiculous. I’m sure the state wouldn’t leave car drivers high and dry here. should step in and have the state take over this agency and straighten it out.

Half my kid’s classes were cancelled today because someone drove their car into a power pole and knocked out the electricity.
Speed limit scooters am I right?

I've never been to Los Vegas, but the people who go, actually go for the indoor experience, and thousands of them drive, so I bet they like a lot of parking. The town is a product of the automobile age, and won't even exist without cars. twitter.com/FuckCarsReddit…

Just throwing this out there but how much demand for cars is generated by wrecks that total newer cars whose owners get paid out to buy another newer car?

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has earmarked $1.4 million to introduce electric bikes into the city’s system. With City Council approval, Boston could see these e-bikes by next spring.

This is no fringe issue. A majority of NYers want to make our streets safer, especially for kids traveling to and from school -- even if it means deprioritizing driving & parking.

"The sad reality is the glut of parking has not unleashed the potential of Downtown," Matt Garbett of urbanism advocacy group ThreadATL told Axios. "The challenge is convincing lenders, developers, and the city that parking doesn't mean...street life."

I paid because I don't like to freeload or owe anything to anyone. The argument is even more potent if you don't like the owner.

We need a Flying Pigeon for American e-bikes. Massive public initiative to make a standard and well built e-bike for public bike share and consumers alike.

Rides increased 65% in 2022.
~342k rides in 2021.
~223k additional rides in 2022
~202k presumably “free” rides from BIKETOWN for all.
~21k max paid ride growth.
Increasing bikes by 33% is gonna help but not much and likely very little new user revenue.

This is kinda wild: “Kanika Agrawal, ’s general manager for , said the company isn’t concerned about lower membership.”
It shows. and Lyft are goosing ride numbers with free rides on Biketown4All, but is that a sustainable model? Who is paying?

No shade on Aaron here at all but the fact that blue check twitter was basically a blue check bubble is something that was super annoying as a normie. Verification was a bad proxy for quality.
