Transit wraps are glorious and every bus and train in American should be enrobed in beauty. These train wraps leaves the windows unobstructed which is the ONLY CORRECT WAY to do transit wraps.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I don’t think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don’t understand or even realize exist.
Interesting D.C. factoid: Overall car registrations in the city have fallen pretty steadily over the past decade, from 303,000 in 2015 to 274,000 last year. There was also a 30,000 or so increase in population over that same time period.
Take a stroll in these waning hours of the snowstorm, if you can manage it. There’s something magical about watching the snowflakes flutter against the street lights, the quiet and the pristiness of the freshly coated landscape.
There should be something just for fun on the ballot, like voting for the best flavor of ice cream . I think that would get a lot of people really excited to get involved

Why don't politicians ever talk abt zoning reform? American urban design is a health hazard imo. This would immediately open up a lot of real estate that otherwise the dems are talking abt having to spend taxpayer money building to reduce scarcity/ costs.
but Also the best city I ever lived in by far was Montreal cuz u can just live on top of shops I used to have my am coffee on the deck and say hi to like 10 friends walking past my balcony b4 I ever even left my house.
Living in a commercial area means u can walk to get everything u need. Better for environment. Everyone less isolated. The mental health benefits r palpable. I see a lot of valid lamenting of the loss of "third places" (social gathering points like bars, churches etc) . reducing zoning regulation makes the neighbourhood feel like a third place.
A lot cheaper than having to subsidize tons of housing and with added community benefits. I've def been to a lot of cities with commercial areas and office buildings just completely half empty. How is sf real estate so expensive when all the commercial spaces r ghost towns?
This seems like a solution dems and republicans can agree on that could be implemented extremely easily? Correct me if I'm missing smthn?
USDOT report confirms: highway expansions are climate disasters.
"America cannot meet its goals to decarbonize the transportation sector by switching to EVs without reducing how much Americans drive, according to a new USDOT report sent up to Congress"
