Apparently I can’t close my eyes while waiting for my bus in Union Station. America wants to punish unhoused people so much that we punish all of us. I’ve been in transit for 27 hours. Thanks @metrolosangeles. Maybe one day LA can be a grownup city, but not today.
I need another vacation so I can read all the historical plaques I took photos of on my vacation.

Contactless payments is one of the best ways to get transit hesitant/choice riders to give transit a try. Ticket vending machine anxiety is very real. Shoutout DTPW.
It's absurd that you can pay with a credit/debit card at nearly every big city parking meter in the US, but this technology has only been deployed by the most sophisticated two or three public transit authorities.
Authorities often use words to manipulate rather than inform. That's why these terms should have you on alert when you see them in the context of transportation projects: - improvement - upgrade - efficiency - service levels - expansion - up to standards - throughput - safety…
I am FURIOUS that New York wants to begrime this beautiful city with dumpsters
My big takeaways from planning school were that I should buy a home ASAP because homeownership is subsidized at every level of American government; but also homeownership turns people into antisocial psychos so we should focus on making renting suck less. thenation.com/article/societ…
Thrilled to be back on the Disney architecture beat, for @dwell dwell.com/article/disney…
A bike sharrow is a road marking that DOTs use when they want to pretend they care about safety but don’t actually want to change anything or take a single inch from cars. They have been shown in many cases to be worse than nothing-the thoughts and prayers of bike infrastructure.
A bike sharrow is a road marking that promotes safety by encouraging proper driving and cycling behavior in situations where motorists and bikers share the road. After slurry sealing Del Cerro Blvd earlier this summer, city crews painted sharrows, making the road safer.
Does it make me an old Millenial that I still get a special thrill seeing my work covered in print?
