The pedestrian plaza surrounded by shops & cafes: a basic, atomic unit of pretty much every European city; available virtually *nowhere* in the US.

China‘s support for Russia‘s war on #Ukraine increases in scale & overtness. Why? Because they’ve observed the US response to smaller, discrete support for RU for 2yrs & conclude that they have little to no consequences to fear. Blinken is “concerned” & “warns allies”. 糟糕 🥱

ISIS: “We did it” Russia: “Liars” Americans: “We told you this would happen” Russia: “You didn’t tell us enough” Americans: “Actually we were pretty specific” ISIS: “Seriously though we did it.” Russia: “No. It was Ukraine”

Having a bunch of factories right on rail lines sure was helpful when the US entered WWII. Of course this rail is gone now. November 1942. Lititz, Pennsylvania. Small town in wartime. The Animal Trap Company of America now makes bullets, but almost no traps.
Somehow neither Iran nor NK are afraid that this will provoke a war with NATO

The US-build requirement and 50% tariff on overseas repair work fail a cost-benefit analysis, imposing a heavy burden while generating little shipbuilding. 21st-century maritime policy should allow Americans to utilize allied shipyards to grow, modernize, and maintain the fleet.

The US has abandoned the harm principle: the idea you should be able to do what you want unless it harms others and harm justifies regulation. We have capitulated to a cabal of violent bullies who believe their consumer preferences supersede the health and safety of everyone.

Saw this photo on instagram of Portland in Oregon. All of this was destroyed for a road. Had some beautiful facades but I guess once people lost the ability to walk they had to go…. 🤷🏻😉😬
Genuinely mind boggling that America had hundreds of nice European-style cities that with the country’s current wealth could have become some of the nicest cities in the world and they just chose to destroy (almost) all of them

This is the reality that nearly every American city tries to hide in their advertising campaigns. They never show the hoards of cars and grey sterilized parking lots because they know it isn't inviting to people.

Yes. Apply the tax on the per unit value instead of the building value and then it doesn’t impact new construction. But the nonprofits rolling these out across the state don’t do that because they fundamentally believe that new apartments are bad. x.com/TribTowerViews…

@johnmcternan It's a single tree. Ideally we'd protect it, but every building in the world was on a site that was green once, (up to and including your house!) To house our people, we have to make trade offs, and it's legitimate to think one tree is not a good enough reason to block 300 homes
The fifth stage of 'NATO enlargement' in 2004 (i.e. granting requests of seven nations pursuing membership) is the reason why Russian bombs are not falling on Tallinn, Riga, or Vilnius right now -- and Vladimir Putin is not (yet) trying to feed you 'Baltic nations invented by…

President Trump is facing his sham trial in New York. Nationally known Republicans such as Rudy Guiliani and Mark Meadows have been indicted. And now, Democrats have taken their lawfare on the road to dismantle top Republican leadership in our key swing-states.…

It seems incredibly telling that the NIMBYs in Society Hill have no objection with this transit oriented parking garage, but only object now when this public facility might be used to facilitate inter-city travel, not storing their personal automobiles.
The saga of the city’s wandering bus terminal for Greyhound, Megabus and other intercity carriers continues, with the latest proposal being to relocate to a Philadelphia Parking Authority garage on 2nd Street near Walnut Street in Old City. billypenn.com/2024/04/29/phi…

@HCLPO dear libertarian internet guy, there’s a lot I think you’re confused about. but I think most of all, do you realize we’re fundamentally talking about *removing regulation* here? best, kasey
@HCLPO You could drive or you could also take a robust public transit system
@HCLPO ... what do you think a "15 minute city" is? Be specific.
@HCLPO When it's impossible to know whether you're honestly this stupid, or simply think your target audience is this stupid, something has gone awry
@HCLPO You understand that a 15-minute city doesn't mean you're banned from taking trips longer than 15 minutes, right?
@HCLPO Then you take the job. Nobody is saying we shouldn’t allow people to take jobs with a 30 minute commute
@HCLPO You would think the Libertarian Party would recognize the damage caused by zoning ordinances, which are what have prevented the “15 minute city development pattern”, otherwise known everywhere else in the world as a “city”.
