Cities aren’t inherently noisy, and in those places that manage to turn down the volume of motor vehicles, sound takes on an entirely different role. It can provide a communal, meditative, and therapeutic experience. Not by escaping from the city, but by immersing oneself in it.
Sweden typically places multiple speed cameras in a series on a given road. This new paper finds that their installation reduces crash deaths by an average of 38.6%. doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.…
The pragmatism of Dutch mobility policy is particularly palpable on holidays like King’s Day, where countless people pour into their urban centers for a national celebration. If a significant portion of them arrived by automobile, there would be no places left in which to party.

"Pike/Pine...could be car-free or mostly car-free down to the water, there'd be this wonderful green interchange between Capitol Hill & downtown." So fun talking to @holz_bau about what our cities could look like: livable, climate-friendly, green. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-w…
we've stopped building family sized apartments because the cost of construction due to our peculiar and anomalous building code requires them to be considerably more expensive than peer countries - and offering what is frankly a pretty sh*tty quality.

Why are planners obsessed with making housing more expensive for the sake of making more expensive? Like setting side yard height limits less than two stories and forcing dormers off exterior walls—it is more expensive, egress doesn’t work and you lose function.

Wait you’re telling me there are just abandoned rail Rights of way that connect legacy dense towns (Watertown, Lexington directly with the subway in greater Boston and there are zero plans to ever use them for subway extensions? That’s crazy!
Why do we have this comp plan ritual where—once every ten years—we raise the zoning cap just enough to maintain our current housing crisis? How does that cap benefit society?
That building goes so hard
As an Angeleno/Californian, the scale of new development in Montpellier (pop. ~300,000) is incredible. It’s the fastest growing city in France, and at least a good percentage of that growth is happening at higher densities. This is the Higher Roch Tower, Brenac & Gonzalez, 2022.
Americans are blazing through red at an alarming rate. Enforcement is important b/c engineering only goes so far. Car Brain is an affliction that causes people to defend or justify antisocial driving behavior, rather than exploring ways to improve driving behavior. e.g. 👇
@Boenau To make more $ where the red light cam is set up, they shorten the yellow light time, actually creating more T-Bone accidents. This was known 10 years ago.
Where have I heard they "come up to me" before🤔
Sara Nelson: “People come up to me and say ‘You’re doing a great job. How can I help?’ And I always answer ‘I’m here to serve YOU.’”
As a Sound Transit board member Dan Strauss is very focused on "completing the spine" for someone who doesn't have one of his own.
The common theme for this episode: corporations buying elections and policies to suit themselves.

Currently @edzitron is doing a series on how tech has been taken over by a sociopathic management-consultant class that has not built anything, doesn't give a shit about "users," & is enshittifying everything in pursuit of short-term profits. wheresyoured.at/the-great-loot…
Remember when she called herself a pragmatic progressive and now she’s arresting public commenters, rolling back min wage, opposing democracy (even year elex), calling for the national guard to Seattle, waiving in the appointment of her colleague who lost, & was bought by SHG…
Nelson calls herself a "pragmatist." She doesn't want to wait because people can't pay rent right now...
Riding an e-bike? Remember, obeying VTL laws isn't just for cars. Don't pedal your way into a ticket!
Ireland has one of the lower rates of car ownership in the EU. So why are so many transport abd urban design policies focused on motorists?

"Gentle density".
But sure, tell us again how SPD's staffing woes are because of the entrance exam.
Four women at SPD came forward to say that public affairs Lt John O'Neil has sexually harassed multiple woman officers, and Chief of Police Adrian Diaz has allowed the behavior while also harassing other woman. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/l…
This video just makes me think about all the liberals who scold people for saying "defund the police" when what we need to be calling for is the abolition of this shit once and for all.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
@holz_bau You would think something like an indoor yokocho could be created under those conditions (i.e. a bunch of small restaurants around a corridor) but maybe financing/fire/ADA/zoning regulations interfere with this
@holz_bau Idk if things have changed by in my experience the pay is total shit for architects in much Europe, there is lots of pressure to work for free, and many European competitions are as much of a sham as our RFP process here in California
