Work on this bike lane started on Tuesday. Look at what can be done in TWO DAYS. We can reshape our cities quickly if we set our minds to it . . .

[adam white @adamlaw50]

It's happening peoples.

The row house is alive again in America's fourth city, New Haven

[grecobs @grecobs]

Imagine high speed rail between KC, Columbia, Jeff City and STL. You could get between the two biggest cities in the state in 90 minutes vs. 210 minutes today.

[Scott Lawrence @ScottFree27]

Has I-70 going through Columbia, MO ever NOT been under construction?

[grecobs @grecobs]

NYC has three airports…

[Gabe Einhorn @EinhornGabe]

NYC has more people living in it than 39 individual US states.

8.3 million in 302 square miles.

If NYC were its own state, it'd be the 11th largest.

And we all share one airport road that's perpetually broken.

[grecobs @grecobs]

Incredible progress in such a short amount of time for nearly 60m people.

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

Spain and Portugal both get over 40% of their electricity from solar and wind—

On the Iberian Peninsula, Spain and Portugal have scaled up solar and wind power almost in step.

In the chart, you can see the share of electricity coming from solar and wind. Both countries generated over 40% of their electricity from these sources in 2025. That was higher than the European Union average of 30%.

The two countries have very similar geographies and share an electricity market. They also have weak connections to the rest of the European electricity grid, forcing them to generate clean power at home rather than rely on imports.

Wind power is more prevalent in Portugal, while solar is ahead in Spain.

Policy matters.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

10,000+ extra homes built in a year thanks to one law!

[grecobs @grecobs]

FWIW I’ve dramatically increased my yellow cab share. Uber has become equally expensive and the cars are often disgusting. Yellow cabs often have better drivers and cleaner cars.

[Jose Martinez @JMartinezNYC]

The # of monthly 🚕 NYC taxi trips is ⬇️ 20% over 12 months.

The price of ⛽️ is ⬆️ 40% from this time last year.

Now comes the ⚽️ World Cup ⚽️ w/ Midtown gridlock and street closures likely on match days. Tough times in the taxi trade.

Jersey City just approved a 47-story tower with 1,049 apartments near Journal Square. The project will preserve a historic Newark Avenue facade while transforming Lott Street into a new pedestrian plaza: https://t.co/OJHTF8SP1H #NewJersey #RealEstate

New York makes Time Square the world’s largest Knicks watch party and broadcasts game 4 on every screen Friday!

[grecobs @grecobs]

Greatest city in the world.

[grecobs @grecobs]

Slowly then all at once

[John Bistline @JEBistline]

No fanfare but, at some point in the last 4 years, California stopped being a grid that occasionally beat fossil fuels and became one that does it on a daily basis.

[grecobs @grecobs]

What if we made child care free and parking expensive https://t.co/0H20BHkeiV

[grecobs @grecobs]

You can see the death of diesel and how much further Denmark has to go to full rid itself of ICE.

[Troels Christensen @tc_thrane]

We have the solutions if we just get out of our own way!

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

For years, duplexes, townhomes, and other “missing middle” homes were almost absent from Spokane’s housing pipeline.

After zoning reforms expanded options, missing middle housing rose from just 3–4% of permits (2020–2022) to nearly 20% of all residential permitting in 2025.
