when grégoire bouillier broke up with sophie calle over email she sent the email to 107 different women asking them what it meant and then made their interpretations into an art piece she took to the venice biennale and that is a level of spite i can only aspire to
Ppl like “if you can’t afford a house in your city why don’t you move to a small town in a state you’ve never been to 100s of miles away from all your friends and family with no childcare options or anywhere to walk to and do your remote job alone in your affordable home office?”
Watching You’ve Got Mail for the first time. Movies used to have Nora Ephron’s dialogue. They used to have Greg Kinnear. Movies used to have Tom Hanks being loud.

It is time that I came out against palm trees. They are bad trees. California should look like Mexico City.
Save the date! Our first-ever car-free #OpenStreets event is Saturday, May 4, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Barranca Parkway and Harvard Avenue. Stroll, bike, and roll on nearly two miles of City streets closed to cars. ℹ️ cityofirvine.org/cicloirvine. #WeAreIrvine #CicloIrvine
My reaction to the doordash discourse is that Joe Biden needs to start a Manhattan Project for dense, walkable, transit-oriented, accessible neighborhoods so that people can just get to a restaurant/grocery store in 15 minutes without a car if they want food.
This is what a lot of suburban France looks like nowadays : a mix of postwar single-family "pavillonaire" clusters, the 1960-70s ZUP social housing cluster, and a modern developing ZAC made of varied typologies of mid-rises, all along a new tramway line.
My boyfriend is away so you know what that means: I'm watching video essays about urban planning and why suburbs are financially insolvent
🚀 Big news! Streets For All is thrilled to sponsor NINE transformative bills 🌿🚲🚶♂️ in the California legislature this year !!!! Shoutout to graphics by @delakaylaco ↓ Thread ↓ #StreetsForAll #Calegislation #Caleg
they should make cities with affordable housing again that was so cool I loved that
This popular little coffee shop in Austin, Texas serves up some of the best coffee and breakfast tacos in the heart of a low density residential neighborhood with no off-street parking. It would be prohibited in most American neighborhoods today. 🌮 ☕️
Los Angeles could look like this if its streets were not run by sociopathic traffic engineers.

Back in the real world, every single piece of evidence we have shows us that building housing decreases rents - or at least stops them from skyrocketing.

that's right. i believe in - fair wages so you can afford cool clothes - right to housing, so you can store those clothes - universal healthcare so you can be healthy and go outside - dense, mixed-use development so you can wear your nice little outfits while walking outside

Firefighters are spending $$ opposing safer street infrastructure in LA. Nationally, just 4% of fire truck runs are for actual fires. Their main job? Medical emergencies. And traffic collisions are a significant source of emergency medical care. Curious. latimes.com/california/sto…

All of the bridges and underpasses (sometimes for single-lane dirt roads) are being re-built (higher, longer, wider).
I recently had the opportunity to check out in person the under construction "Tren Maya" in Mexico's southeast. The plan is to build 1500km (1000 miles) of track for about $10b, about half electrified. The first section, Merida - Cancun, is supposed to open in late 2023. 1/10
Good morning! Heading from Merida to the Cancun airport today on the brand new Tren Maya. 🧵>>

If you’re worrying about Biden’s proposed capital gains tax, remember that it doesn’t affect you. Do you make over $1 million a year? No? Then your taxes won’t go up. For ONCE, a president is taxing the rich instead of us, & rich people want to convince YOU to be upset about it.
"Texas's housing policies" mostly look like this photo. I don't know where, or whether, people think California should be building more of this. CA should upzone a ton, reduce delays, fees, and avenues for NIMBY obstructionism. But that doesn't really amount to emulating Texas.
I have said this over and over and over and over again: if California adopted Texas' housing policies, it would become a completely unstoppable economic powerhouse. It would be eating Texas' lunch. California actively chooses to make itself poorer, to satisfy rich NIMBYs.
AZ GOP are attempting to make science illegal, trying to pass legislation to make even studying alternatives to automobile dependence illegal. This is f*cking insane.
