A few reminders as we head into Thanksgiving:
-Don't comment on someone's body, even if it looks different than the last time you saw it.
-Don't comment on someone's food choices. Those are inside thoughts.
-Don't assign moral value to food. You don't need to "earn" pie.
Michigan is always the first in the nation to give anyone a friendly wave! ✋🫱
This is the first time I’ve seen this quote from Daniel Radcliffe and honestly this needs to be a #PureMichigan ad

How can Dutch cities afford to spend so much on cycling?
They see each penny as an investment—in a healthier and happier population, a low-congestion and low-maintenance road network, and a public realm where people want to spend time and money.
How can your city afford not to? – at Delft, Nederland
Yes
Last week the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that speed-limiting technology be required on all new cars.
It’s an excellent idea. @USDOT should do it.

This is the most potent zoning reform framing, and why YIMBY has been more successful than previous efforts: Most people live happy, normal lives, oblivious to zoning. When you point out that things like duplexes or townhouses are illegal, it shocks many into action.
Now let the development reflect this! People > Cars!

Congratulations. All those "disruptors" and "innovators" have finally managed to create cable TV.
It's never about inventing anything new. It's just about re-creating existing systems but without the labor protections and income guarantees.

In @voxdotcom, I explained why Norway’s “EV miracle” is a cautionary tale.
Eye-popping subsidies have spurred electric car sales -- but they've also widened inequality and undermined transit/biking.
EV incentives are not a panacea. 🧵

Look, this isn't complicated:
If your government social media job is about fun stuff like parks or boring stuff like ethics, you can do memes.
If your government social media job is about protecting people from horrific and preventable death, you don't get to do memes.

Six months ago @NPR left Twitter. The effects have been negligible.
The numbers confirm what many in news have long suspected — that Twitter wasn’t worth the effort, at least in terms of traffic. niemanreports.org/articles/n… via @NiemanReports

"I am...on a train from Madrid to Barcelona. The journey takes 2½ hours and covers more than 300 miles, approaching the distance between London and Edinburgh. I paid €19"
80% of trips between those cities are now rail. It was Europe's busiest air route

In almost every American city, the minimum number of parking built is mandated by state and municipal ordinances dating back to the 1960s. These antiquated mandates not only rob property owners of choice, but they’re often arbitrary. It's time to end them.

Every study over and over and over again: People are homeless because they don't have money for skyrocketing housing costs. When you give them money to afford housing, or affordable social housing they stop being homeless.
Governments: Putting them in jail will fix it.
ALT Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.

Ahh, so the US *can* ban vehicles b/c they're too dangerous -- but only a niche product (involved in 4 deaths over 3 years), not oversized trucks and SUVs that endanger everyone else on the street.

What an intersection of two big interests of mine - I am incredibly curious about how journalism and urban planning interacted throughout the past several decades

Colorado is considering a weight-base car fee to address car bloat:
🔹 Fee would would apply to cars >3,500 lbs, up to $29.90/yr
🔹 $$ collected would fund bike lanes, road diets, automatic cameras, etc
🔹 Only collected in the 12 most populous counties
