This fall, I got an e-mail from a guy named JM Simpson who'd read things I'd written about homelessness. He mentioned he was a photojournalist in Olympia and that he'd been photographing the unhoused population there. He wanted to share some work with me . . . (1)

"Two economists from the Harvard Growth Lab (Shah and Sturzenegger) estimate that the average transport costs for those who are employed in South Africa is equal to 57% of net wages when time to commute is accounted for." blogs.worldbank.org/en/africacan/r…

This is incredible. World Bank comparison of how much a worker making $1,000 in Soweto keeps after taxes and transport costs vs a similar worker in Vietnam. A damning indictment of both apartheid's spatial legacy and subsequent failures to expand public transport.

The "end sicknote culture" thing is just the latest in the long line of policy topics where the government has decided the goal is weekly headlines about how tough they are rather than any real world change.

There’s a very easy method to ensure no one lives near me, and that is to buy up all the land around me and become its sole owner The issue is that people aren’t actually willing to pony up the money to do so and instead go running crying to Government Daddy to do it instead

Then there is the speed, for a maglev the speed is quite slow. The alignment needs to go thru some quite hilly areas so the alignment does some tight curves where the train needs to go 50-30 kph, straight sections go about 80 kph. IMO it's not a big deal ,it's a tourist line.
