@huntervhoffman Detroit is one if the few US cities to build all the freeways that were planned in the 60s. They sliced the city into pieces, destroyed many dense walkable neighborhoods, and increased the severity of the white flight that happened there.

@JohnQuaglione @CitiBikeNYC @NYC_DOT @ZohranKMamdani How many of them started somewhere else this morning?

@SecMullinDHS @GovSherrillNJ Continued deflection. You have yet to disprove the allegations of abuse or that there is no hunger or labor strike.

@criticalurban @clearSNR The contemporary re-entry into cities began in the 90s. Time isnt the issue; it’s euclidean zoning practices that still serve boomer sensibilities. They have restricted density in downtowns and have built sprawling greenfield suburbs instead.

[Greg Woltman 🚲 🚇 🚆 @GreggoJC]

@criticalurban @clearSNR That ignores the fact that we are in a housing shortage because of underzoning in the suburbs in Queens, Staten Island, New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, and Connecticut. Demand for walkable places outpaces supply of walkable places!

@Mike781819 @mattvanswol These are legitimate votes. If there were no mail in votes, you would have still lost, just more swiftly.

@Chicago_Goofies Looks like they need better parking enforcement. The only thing that got in the emergency vehicle’s way was an illegally stopped car.

@MAconserve @DanielMael @jacobkornbluh Never? It is literally the most common way I hear progressives described.

@amimevalepitito @bfurnas Typically its a street designed for slow speeds and local vehicle traffic. May include traffic diverters and speed bumps. Typically doesn’t include bike lanes because the street is designed to be shared safely.

[Greg Woltman 🚲 🚇 🚆 @GreggoJC]

@miraefox @Estarkmiller They are going to repave the whole street. Thats why they are doing a redesign now…because they are already going to redo the street so the cost of making it safer is negligible. The alternative is to repave it the same way then spend more money fixing the safety issues later.

@enforcelawsNYC This has been true for cars and car lanes for over 100 years.

@dickeyman1 @NYCMayor It is legal to bicycle in dress shoes

@The_Suburbanist Your wording is also ambiguous. “Anywhere in the CBD” could be interpreted as either (1) “all locations” or (2) “any one location”.

[Greg Woltman 🚲 🚇 🚆 @GreggoJC]

@The_Suburbanist Your point about “anywhere in the CBD” is disingenuous. The CBD itself is about 30 minutes across is any direction to begin with. Also, no one needs to build their commute around “anywhere in the CBD”; they build it on workplace.

@JamesSurowiecki there are three concepts that almost every conservative is incapable of comprehending

1: marginal tax rates
2: population density
3: externalities

@pjlavish @MarkScottPR @hernandezforny @KathyHochul @ZohranKMamdani Both good points, but the data here is good enough to demonstrate my point IMO. If anyone is being undercounted, it isn't the wealthy or well-resourced. And FWIW, the Census is still the most complete demography we have. This one is from reddit but uses more recent ACS data.

@pjlavish @MarkScottPR @hernandezforny @KathyHochul @ZohranKMamdani Car drivers are disproportionately wealthier than the average NYer

@pjlavish @MarkScottPR @hernandezforny @KathyHochul @ZohranKMamdani If they can afford a Benz, they can afford to pay for street parking
