We are working on a proposal to enhance the local bike network in PB (PB Pathways) and are looking for feedback on the draft proposal before we bring it before the parking district board. Please take a look! Share it around. 🧵

DeepSeek increases my conviction that Bitcoin must be the hurdle rate for capital deployment. AI innovation at this speed and scale will substantially disrupt valuation metrics across industries and is not currently priced in. Those who secure a war chest of Bitcoin will be the long run winners, picking up distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. Focus on three things: AI, Bitcoin, and energy.

For decades, New Yorkers have been subject to unrelenting, enormous costs, noise, pollution, danger, injuries and deaths imported daily by suburban drivers. The Congestion relief charge of $9 does not begin to cover these externalities, but it at least a disincentivizes them.

What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy

So here's what we learned about Tim Walz today:

🏠 pro housing
🏣 pro single-stair apartments
✂️ pro permitting reform
🚅 pro trains
⚡️ pro energy
⚛️ pro nuclear
🫡 24 years in military
🏈 State champion football coach

I do have one question…
WAS THIS DUDE GROWN IN A LAB!?

Reclaim the streets! Too much as been seeded to one mode of private transportation.

OUR SIDEWALKS HAVE BEEN SHRINKING!

(and we need to reverse that)

@sullivanms @YIMBYDemsSD Just need a few more 7% years. This problem was made over decades, it isn't fixed in a year.

@PaulSkallas Maybe lead poisoning, which would have a slight lag from children becoming teens
"The use of catalytic converters, mandated in the United States for 1975 and later model-year cars to meet tighter emissions regulations, started a gradual phase-out of leaded gasoline in the U.S."

Boggles my mind that we have a public policy problem where a huge part of the solution is "let capitalists make a shitload of money" and we refuse to do that because like 500 people with masters degrees have a religious belief that markets can never serve poor people's interests.
