I wish it hadn’t come to this, but this more than confirms my decision to join Anthropic a few months ago was the right one. I’m so proud of our leadership and my colleagues for holding firm on these clear lines.

@angrypsulib @PghTransitCare And that wasn’t the first time I complained about it on this site tagging them. It’s so embarrassing.

[push the needle @pushtheneedle]

it amazes me how people think its the new homes that will be affordable. since that always happens with new cars, new phones, new clothes, etc

its about having enough supply so a 2008 honda civic doesnt also cost $60,000

[Pro-Housing Pittsburgh @ProHousingPgh]

The Mayor's plan to extend IZ across the city is robbing Peter to pay Paul - it expects renters to solve the housing affordability crisis by having them pick up their neighbor's rent, while not asking the same of wealthy homeowners. More below 👇 https://t.co/BqgnAM3iz7

Mayor thinks he’ll be sticking it to the Developer Class by mandating affordable units citywide but really he’s sticking it to renters by making us pay to solve our city’s affordability crisis.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

It's wild how, in the 1990s, the entire rest of the developed world said, "Jeez, we really need to get a handle on all these traffic deaths," and the US just said, "You all go on without me." Hundreds of thousands of needless American deaths as a result.

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@RyanDeto That’s great news! @erikastrassbrgr, are you joining them?

[BikePGH @BikePGH]

We are deeply saddened to hear that a driver killed a 6 year old girl in Homewood yesterday.

Everyone deserves safe streets, especially in front of their home.

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@PGHDistrict8 Thank you!

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@CarolynRistau That is incredible. Which building was this?

[Andrew Brown @AndrewBrownPgh]

Parked in the crosswalk where Emily Watson was killed by a UPMC shuttle driver last year. That’s @MayorEdGainey’s #VisionZeroPGH hard at work!

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@PGHCityPaper That’s a great article, but the illustration portrays a car-focused roundabout that would speed cars through it rather than slow them down and make things safer for people walking and biking. That’s not what the article is asking for!

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@guitardude1236 @thewildamy @WPXI WTF

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@ArminSamii @guitardude1236 Yep. Unless there’s camera footage, that reporting should have read: “the driver said they had a green light, but this has not been confirmed”.

[Sara Lind @saraklind]

What a baller move @PeteButtigieg

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@mateosfo Yep. I heard from previous (thankfully no longer employed) Pittsburgh traffic engineers that “studies showed” that stop signs don’t work… and that’s why they were doing nothing or putting in yield signs that no one respected at intersections on medium traffic two lane streets.

[Sara Lind @saraklind]

New marching orders: tell #CongestionKathy to order NYSDOT Commissioner Dominguez to sign the VPPP agreement and start congestion pricing.

And tell @MarieThereseNY to have the courage to sign the agreement even if this feckless Governor tells her not to.

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

Sitting in Herald Square right now, it’s plain to see: the MTA must implement congestion pricing! And then watch it become even more popular than it is now as we’re seeing from this wonderful backlash to the most useless governor in America.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

It’s now 100% official: our calls worked! the legislature is not bailing Hochul out.

Hochul is quickly running out of options. The MTA board will soon have no choice but to overrule her and implement congestion pricing or face financial ruin.

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@thewildamy @PGHtransit Yup. And here’s the stop at Sixth and Smithfield in front of Trinity Episcopal. Can you tell it’s been serving outbound 61s and 71s for months and months? I sure can’t! @ms_eagan

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

@ms_eagan @PGHtransit Hi Katharine, do you have an update on this? The 61/71 routing in Google Maps (at least) is still incorrect.

[Andrew Bloomgarden @Aughr]

Hey @PGHtransit @ms_eagan, _again_ tonight I had to tell my friends to don’t routinely take the bus to ignore Transit / Google Maps directions because the 61/71s are taking different routes downtown. Can you please fix the GTFS data so they stop telling lies?
