A society that no longer agrees on the meaning of words is in really deep shit.
If I’d told you how badly NIMBYs broke urban governance in the United States and used even a single, real-world example, you would not believe me, because it is beyond absurd. You have no idea.

Coming soon to the California state budget: All of our money going to inland climate adaptation (read: triage) because coastal NIMBYs refuse to allow climate mitigation.

Since when is it the Coastal Commission's job to ensure affordable housing, or to decide which housing is good and bad, especially outside of environmental concerns? We have other agencies for that — people who actually have expertise in the field.

Apparently 30% of market rate housing built in the Sacramento region since 2010 are now affordable to Low Income households. I don’t think I’d have guessed this. @Flo4Sacramento @KevinMcCartyCA check this out!

I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.

The year is ~ 2033. A city and a suburb are sitting at a bar. City: “How did you go bankrupt?” Suburb: “Gradually, then suddenly.” *** “The illusion that suburbia remains somehow separate from America’s problems is no longer viable.” theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
Biking home from a @henrygrabar talk, stopped at gas station for milk. The two 20-something cashiers loved my @Parking_Reform stickers (I gave them some) and vented about how awful it was growing up in the unwalkable exurbs. One was a @notjustbikes fan. The kids are alright.
Violent drivers going utterly apeshit in the comments.
Everyone asks where we would put a regional high speed rail network while there are … 4 million miles of 4- to 8-lane highways sitting *right there.* And we already own them!

blue state housing bill: if a project is 25% deed-restricted, built with 20% pricier labor, and LEED platinum and a city blows past a six month permitting shot clock, you may launch a quixotic lawsuit red state housing bill: if they don't issue a permit in 14 days just build

The Gentrification Debate is always my favorite. It implies that whites originated in the suburbs and that White Flight was good (It wasn't). And somehow moving from where you currently live to somewhere else because you want to and improving that neighborhood is violence.

@mateosfo Riding Amtrak a few years ago an old porter in a sleeping car told me the original interstate highway system was built with wide center dividers to accommodate a national passenger rail system and turn over most of the old rail road to freight. Brilliant.

@mateosfo “The pension obligations and fixed costs of everything decaying in 20 years caught up with us!”
@mateosfo The suburbs have not become a ponzi scheme. It was *always* a ponzi scheme; investment homeownership is objectively the worst pillar western civilisation has relied upon.
