"We build our American cities around fire trucks…

…We should design our cities, then make the fire trucks fit."

In America, we have the largest fire trucks in the world—
and they’re quietly shaping how our cities look, feel, and function.

In this clip with @AustinTunnell , we break down how one overlooked policy is leading to worse urban design.

Hey California policymakers: Look what happens when you increase housing supply!

@ArmandDoma I think frequency matters much more, knowing you have another bus 5min later (or even 1-2 minutes for subways) make everything smooth. No big deal to miss one, no planning needed

@VicVijayakumar Beautiful galette!

@DankerD @_fruchtose @ArmandDoma I want this

[Ramit Sethi @ramit]

This is why your housing is so expensive

Not Blackstone, not "greedy landlords"

Just your mom, dad, & neighbors voting for NIMBY local politicians who then prevent housing from being built

That's why you pay tens of thousands of dollars more than you need to

Simple as that

@pitdesi @arampell Going through this right now, super frustrating. The team you call to unblock the wire isn't the same than the team/system blocking it and they don't trust each other. It's great. Blocked twice, hoping 3rd time's the charm

@ramit Your edited copy also contains the word just..
