It likes to pretend to be a purely technical discipline, but traffic engineering is deeply political. Don't be fooled!

The stark differences in city planning philosophy:
@CityOfCarmelIn: Bike path, raised crosswalk, beautiful, close, inviting. Opened 2024.
@CityofReno: 8ft tall 2000-ft long prison fence, narrow sidewalk, "NO TRESSPASSING" signs, foreboding, unwelcoming presence. Opened 2024.

Everyone supports doge, the idea is great. Everyone agrees to cut frivolous spending, and reduce waste.
Where people are fighting you is how it's being done.

Keep those decongestion zone cameras on, NYC.
It's crazy that just because I ask a simple question, all the TERFs and MAGAs come out of the woodwork, assuming my position on the matter. Boy, are they barking up the wrong tree!
What insidious times in which we live. People can now once again be investigated and surveilled by the FBI solely for being gay. This feels like... like the last 40 years of progress has suddenly flushed down the drain. advocate.com/politics/dhs-al…
Here's a quick hour-long sketch to convert Plumb & McCarran into a roundabout with shared-use paths the way the rest of Caughlin Ranch is. Very easy to do, copying Carmel, Indiana: youtube.com/watch?v=_F6xKd7A…

Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve said she wants to annex McCarran Blvd. into the city's jurisdiction after a rash of deadly crashes including several near the intersection with Plumb Lane. @BenMargiott has the story. mynews4.com/news/local/reno-…

Libertarians came together to vote for Trump to end the war on crypto. Now we are calling on him to free the hostages of that war.
Please share this. This is Bonnie. The visibility is for some reason being throttled. You can't see it when you just go to my page.Maybe because I tagged Trump?
@realDonaldTrump @POTUS, you said yesterday that you ended the War on Crypto. Please consider releasing my husband, Ian Freeman, who is a hostage from that war. He is in prison for 8 years for selling Bitcoin.
Here you see the judge who oversaw his trial and sentenced him Clearly Laplate does not have the best judgement!
Remember in 1993 when @DOGE seemed so left-wing? What happened?

Doug Burgum knows zoning reform is as much a MAGA movement as anyone else's.
"And then people will go on a vacation, and they'll say, 'Wow, that was the most amazing vacation I ever had.' Why? Well, because they went to some place where they could walk, and everything was right there. Well, you can actually have that in our own states."

Assange is right!
🚨ASSANGE ON USAID: ‘CIVIL SOCIETY IS A FABLE’
Assange exposed how NGOs have been co-opted into political weapons, arguing that civil society is no longer independent but a “buyer’s market” for influence:
“The last forty years have seen a huge proliferation of think tanks and political NGOs whose purpose, beneath all the verbiage, is to execute political agendas by proxy.”
He singled out USAID, Freedom House, and ‘civil society’ events as vehicles for Western political interests masquerading as grassroots activism.

I estimate an average of 1-2 deaths per month. Why isn't Kietzke made a pedestrian safety zone?
A pedestrian was killed in a Thursday night crash on Kietzke Lane south of Moana Lane kolotv.com/2025/02/07/pedest…
And we've learned our mistake and haven't demolished buildings since, right? Right?
Thursday marks 25 years since the downtown skyline changed forever when the iconic Mapes Hotel in Reno was imploded, a significant event in the city's history.
