If y'all are serious. I know a guy.
His name is Rodrigo Duterte.

The Dems/Progressives might need a sociopath.

“You can’t get rid of 12,000 cars!” claimed critics when in 2017, Eindhoven proposed the revolutionary transformation of Oirschotsedijk.

A former arterial road dissecting Philips de Jonghpark is now an accessible and delightful green space, reconnected by a 5.5 meter cycle path.

Old thinking: Traffic is like a liquid — adding capacity relieves congestion, & closing a street to cars makes traffic go elsewhere.

New thinking: Traffic is like a gas — it expands or contracts to fill the space given.

Me: Traffic is people. People can change their mind.

This is what American cities looked like a century ago.

Everything you see here was demolished.

Why? This is what happened... (thread) 🧵

It’s a pretty big deal when this KEY MESSAGE is in Scientific American. It suggests a bigger tipping point. “We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent: Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety.” Via @SciAm

Of course on an absolute level, there's a lot about BGC that is done better than the rest of Metro Manila: wide sidewalks, clean streets, good lighting. This is what makes the missed opportunities - mostly low-hanging fruit - so frustrating!

WHY SHOULD CLIMATE ACTIVISTS CARE ABOUT THE TRANSPORT STRIKE?👀🌞

Shortage ng bigas, kumain ng kamote.
Shortage ng tubig, wag muna magbuhos sa cr.
Shortage ng kuryente, huwag na mag-aircon.

Matagal nang nagtitiis at nagtitipid ang mga tao dahil sa shortage sa tapat at mahusay na gobyerno.

Journalist: "So will you apologize as president of the Republic in behalf?"

Marcos: "That seems highly contrived. Who is apologizing to whom?"

Keep demanding accountability and justice! #NeverForget

America built some of the world's greatest architecture... and then demolished it.

A thread of wonders that were lost (and why)... 🧵

1. Cincinnati Library: replaced by a parking garage

[Thomas thee Tankengine @goodkidbikecity]

Impound agad? Do you impound every car illegally parked? Or every car used when a driver kills a pedestrian? Why is impounding considered proportionate punishment for one mode but not the other?

[Thomas thee Tankengine @goodkidbikecity]

Some have asked, why not say that "lack of public transit reason for huge traffic in metro."

Posting the full version of "the lack of public transportation is making ME drive" here

[Thomas thee Tankengine @goodkidbikecity]

"Private cars main reason for huge traffic in metro"

We're getting to the point in the transport crisis where the headlines have to tell the truth. How much more of this will the public take?
