The population of Paris, France is appx. 2.2 million. The population of Houston, Texas is appx. 2.3 million.

Houston can help this burning planet by reducing car dependency. We just need the will and the political fortitude to make it so.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

No matter what the Supreme Court ruled:

No President should be above the law.

No one should be criminalized for being unhoused.

We deserve regulations to protect our environment and public health.

Curious to know what these numbers would be for Houston.

New York City has about 3 million free on-street parking spots. If they were charged a median market rate of $62 per day, the annual revenue would be about $67.89 billion.

While liberal/left Twitter is tearing itself apart, progressive tiktok is getting the heritage foundation’s tax exempt status revoked. (Instructions to help in video)

In @GregAbbott_TX speak, "call for investigation" means "stall for time until I can change the subject." The TX power reliability & capacity problem has existed during the entire 10 years of Abbott being Governor. It won't be fixed until he is gone.

Residents in Houston, the nation’s third largest city, are still without power four days after Beryl battered parts of Texas as a Category 1 storm. For hundreds of thousands of them, they won’t have power until next week.

CBS News’ @JanetShamlian has a look at the long lines forming at resource centers as families scramble for food and basic necessities.

People change their behavior when there's an incentive to change behavior. Everett, WA saw a 70% decrease in speeding.

(These safety cameras are revenue neutral, meaning after paying for the tech, ticket money is spent on traffic safety projects or programs.)

Another day with reckless drivers using the 11th Ave bike lane.

Congestion Pricing would have helped address this. @ebottcher

[anton @antonhenryy]

This is so heartbreaking. The driver did not stop at a stop sign, the rider had right of way, and they still determined after investigation that there was “no negligence on the part of the driver, no impairment and no recklessness”? Make it make sense.

People are going to drink. And get high. They’re going to get too old to drive. They’re going to be reckless, angry, tired, and distracted while driving. Not all, but some.

You can’t weed them out, and enforcement is clearly not enough.

What’s the solution?

[Sam Balto @CoachBalto]

Maybe 3% of crashes like this are caught on video. We can’t even comprehend the level of destruction cars create.

[Martyn Schmoll @martynschmoll]

Driver was initially upset with me taking the lane but when I reminded him I was allowed to do that he went after me for not wearing a helmet. Folks, it’s just another reminder that this bullshit never has anything to do with safety. It has to do with power and dominance.
