I walked 10 min from my apartment in Katowice to the train station and I’m taking a train that’ll take me to downtown Warsaw (180 mi, like Seattle to Portland) in 2h for $35 in peace and quiet.

I love America but the lack of trains and high speed rail is such a miss.

This fake “graph” shown by a US presidential candidate at every rally is a sad lie about immigration.

The new Administration’s policies began in February 2021, not March 2020—obviously.

People lie to conceal. So what is this candidate’s lie sweating to conceal? Thread —>

The U.S. has the most dangerous roads of any developed country

it’s all a policy choice, and we could easily fix it by designing safer streets, incentivizing safer cars, making it so people don’t have to drive as much, and actually enforcing traffic laws

“We built cities all over America that are designed for automobiles and not designed for people... Our housing costs are high, in part because of the way that we've designed our cities."

I am obsessed with Mexico City's messy urbanism, incredibly diverse architecture, and its embrace of all forms of density - which all contribute to the vibrancy and vitality of this city. Urban planners have lots of lessons to learn at all scales of development 🧵

People associate the USA with cars, not trains.

But it used to have some of the world's greatest train stations — only now they've all been demolished, including every single building in this image.

This is the story of America's lost train stations...

I’ve been in Seoul for a bit over a week now. It’s an amazing city! Anyways, it’s time to rate their metro system.
For starters, it’s super impressive and very expansive. 768 stations according to Wiki!! 1/19

The Cybertruck's design is reckless. Its weight, acceleration, stainless steel panels, and boxy front could worsen the US road safety crisis.

Even so, federal regulators are powerless to halt its launch. That should worry all of us.

The real divide between northern and southern Europe is evident here.

Last night @NBCNightlyNews turned @nbcdfw's searing investigation of Dallas' deadly roads into a national story.

Me: "You have to make a choice of whether it's more important to save lives or to facilitate fast car traffic."

Some preliminary analysis by @elifensari of IBX's job access improvements. You'll never guess which stops have the lowest population density, lowest FARs, highest car ownership rates, lowest transit usage, etc., etc.

One of my favourite examples of how people react to economic incentives:

Architectural tax avoidance👇
🇬🇧 UK : tax on windows
🇻🇳 Vietnam: tax on frontage
🇫🇷 France: tax on floors (roof exempted)
🇧🇷 Brazil: tax on church construction (when finished)

Paris will be holding a referendum on *dramatically* raising parking fees for SUVs and other large vehicles with the goal of discouraging them from coming into the city at all

[CBS Philadelphia @CBSPhiladelphia]

SEPTA buses are getting AI-powered cameras that will detect vehicles illegally parked in bus lanes and report them to the PPA to be ticketed.

Mayor Jim Kenney said when a car is double parked or blocking the lane, it "screws everything up."
