The grocery store problem is actually a perfect argument for walkable cities, not against them.

When you rely on driving, the store becomes a logistical burden. You’re forced to shop in bulk, hunt for parking for 20 minutes, buy extra refrigeration, and meticulously plan weeks of meals to minimize the number of times you have to endure that trip.

When you live in a walkable neighborhood, that friction disappears. I used to live walking distance from a market, and we stopped planning meals entirely. It became an experience: we’d wake up, decide what we were in the mood for, and walk over to pick up fresh ingredients for dinner that night.

A 10 minute stroll to get fresh ingredients is just better living.

What’s the US’s “fourth” city. NYC, Milwaukee, and Green Bay are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Madison, Racine, Minoqua, or maybe Chicago

A train could whisk every single person in this conga line to Tahoe comfortably and safely. They could be staring out the window, having a glass of wine or reading a book. Instead, each person is in their own 3-ton pod stuck in the snow, running the motor, going nowhere.

Thank you @SecDuffy this is exactly what we were missing to make airports more pleasant and enjoyable 😍

Abundance is rejected by sections of both the DSA and the establishment left because it treats policy as a tool to deliver what people need (more homes, cheaper electricity) rather than a weapon in a performative class war or a spoils system for favored interests and industries.

we're so fucked like our activists are arguing about taylor swift while the supreme court is thinking about overturning the voting rights act.

Another example of why we must invest in and operate a high quality transit system so people aren’t forced to buy a $50k car (plus ongoing costs) just to get around. For every family that goes from 2➡️1 car or 1➡️ No car their life becomes much more affordable.

Making bad-faith, wildly unfounded sociopolitical TikTok critiques of a pop album is such a profoundly misguided use of political energy right now given… literally everything that’s actually happening

If you vote yes or no on a bill because of someone’s “performance” rather than on the basis of the text of the bill, the Constitution, and the people you represent, then you shouldn’t be in Congress.

It's hard to avoid recalling this passage from the English historian Tony Judt:
