@RealTalkRJ @JohnEMarriott @ElmeligiSarah @TourismJasper Hey, what happened with Kevin van Tighem? I'm a fan and I was looking forward to hearing his take.

@lilydupu You didn’t cover the fact that road design triggers driver behaviour. Airport trail issues so many speeding tickets because it has the design speed of 120kph and not 60, so of course drivers feel impatient.

Lancaster, CA transformed its downtown in just 8 months by redesigning it's main street from a mini-highway to a tree-lined boulevard.

For the cost of just $11.5M, the project has generated $273M in economic output since 2010, creating 800 jobs, and nearly doubling tax revenue!

Good to consider.

Since we are talking about making education affordable for all or even a human right, I have a simple idea that will radically decrease tuition costs for everyone and improve real education at the same time:

I’m a big fan of the “Idaho Stop” - it’s all about making life easier and more rationale for cyclists, allowing them to treat stop signs and stop lights like yield signs. It’s logical policy for a human propelled object. https://t.co/B69WV0XczP

Does winter weather have to mean deserted sidewalks as residents hunker down indoors? Or can creative design keep our streets and neighborhoods lively 12 months a year? These architects have some great (and inexpensive!) ideas. @Curbed. https://t.co/jNJ1TRskwL

A brilliant analysis of split level arguments.

1/ I’ve been noticing a ubiquitous technique recently upon which I have seen little commented. “Punchable face”, #killallmen, “Open Borders”, “Tax is Theft”, “Believe Women”, “Free markets”, “Free Speech” and uptalking are examples. I want to explain here what I see linking them.

If the academy is to have credibility on matters of fact, it can't dress ideology up in the same clothes. The spread of oppression-studies is an abdication of scientific responsibility. As universities promote ideology over inquiry, science-skepticism is the inevitable result.

Does Shakespeare violate your Terms of Service?
Does Mark Twain violate your Terms of Service?
Does the Constitution violate your Terms of Service?
Does Biology violate your Terms of Service?

Then take a deep breath. Let me break it to you gently:
The problem isn't Shakespeare.

Our annual reminder: Widening 👏 highways 👏 doesn't 👏 work 👏

This freeway -- LA's 405 -- was JUST widened at a cost of $1.6 billion.

There are countless maps out there dissing the Mercator projection (which is actually useful in many ways). This here is however a novel way of visualizing the distortion of country size that Mercator projections bring with them. Love it! Source: https://t.co/gi0BVTJLRu

This is almost incomprehensible to those of us who live in cities where cars matter most. There is another way. It’s just...a choice. https://t.co/e1G3Z1ePIX
