Odd that drivers of fuel efficient cars often get more Green-praise than people who chose to live where they can walk to work.

I'm in the Atlantic today, writing about parking requirements. My hot take: We shouldn't have them! https://t.co/zu19UYNl0n

@JorgeATovar INRIX siempre ha medido qué tan eficiente es la movilidad desde la perspectiva del vehículo privado. En Bogotá solo el 15% de los viajes son en vehículo privado, tiene sentido entonces tomar decisiones basándose únicamente en la movilidad de los motoristas?

A fascinating article about how to get people to rethink their positions.

It describes how Steve Jobs needed to be convinced him to do the right thing: create the iPhone, AppleTV, ...

Reality check: b/c of embodied carbon + battery production, electric car only starts saving emissions after 40,000 miles.
Existing EV fleet will reduce global temperatures by just1/100,000 of a degree C by 2100.
Real solution: end car-dependency—and don't buy a Tesla.

I assume we all get that electric cars take up as much space & don’t solve the space problem that cars create, as @colvilleandersn illustrates. But we cant forget how #JevonsParadox explains that “better cars” lead to MORE & BIGGER VEHICLES + MORE DRIVING. https://t.co/STWistZ2Ys

Climate change is global, but CA must lead.

CA is leading in de-carbonizing our electric grid, but that’s not enough.

CA continues to promote sprawl/driving.

CA continues to produce oil.

CA continues to fail on transit.

Enough. We must show what a sustainable future can be.

Not enough room for a safe, protected bike lane? Not enough room for outdoor restaurant seating to safely support struggling businesses? Turns out there is — just be willing to rethink 1 lane for cars. Great little video by @g_meslin of Toronto’s Danforth.

What if metros were built as incoherently as bike lanes? #Berlin

Suburban sprawl costs the American economy more than $1 trillion annually. Americans living in sprawled communities directly bear an astounding $625 billion in extra costs. And ALL Americans bear the other $400 billion more. Via @NewClimateEcon @LitmanVTPI

@mario_sabato @victorhugopenag @PROFE_RESTREPO el triunfo de Egan va más allá de Latinoamérica. El TDF ha sido siempre un monopolio de países europeos y USA. Egan es el primer corredor en la historia que rompe con ese monopolio.

Think your city is ambitious about public transit? #Riyadh in Saudi Arabia is building 6 metro lines (pic 1), BRT (pic 2, red), a 5-10min frequent bus network (pic 2, green), & a feeder bus system. Plus 80km of bike lanes. All at once. Well done @RiyadhTransport @ArRiyadh_ADA.

Se le abona al candidato populista de izquierda que aún no ha amenazado a la prensa como Uribe, estrella del populismo de derecha, quien hostigó en una misma semana a @NoticiasUno y @rcnradio y de paso advirtió que reemplazará a las cortes por una megacorte nombrada por él..
