A 3 million dollar home in Hollywood is not even close to a mansion. I donât think some people understand how expensive homes are especially in places like LA.

More than anything, this image encapsulates everything that is wrong with our society
We have been doing this discourse since literally the Berlin Olympics in 1936, where Hitler made the same remarks
These are Americans. Donât like it? Try being a country people want to move to
Anti-car urbanism is, at its core, a discriminatory practice by wealthy urban elites who seek to reduce the number of suburban people w/whom they interact. People who commute downtown because they canât afford to live there do so overwhelmingly in cars due to their efficiency.
Itâs because the immigration system is fucked and wealthy migrants have a better chance of staying in the US if they cross the border than if they apply in their home country.
This is of course by design, an intentional act that gives cover for anti immigration rhetoric from
Listen to this 12 year old girl expose the dystopian reality of 15-minute cities! đđđ
âHow dare you steal my childhood and my future, and the future of our children, by enslaving us in your crazy digital surveillance prison.â
Plastic bag discourse is actually so funny bc you could probably use 20 of them every grocery trip for 100 years and create less emissions & plastic pollution than you do from driving for 20 minutes to get to the store
NJ banned plastic bags. Usage went down.
People chose alternative bags. Those bags have a larger carbon footprint.
Emissions rose 500%
Congrats everyone!

Come along with me on my carnage (I mean course) check this morning. What should be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country is being destroyed by herds of javelina. If anyone has a contact in AZ state govt that can help us find a solution please pass it along.
âPeople have no control over tire dustâ lmao itâs called Not Driving
With Not Driving, you stop creating your own tire dust and avoid highways altogether

People have no control over the amount of tire dust in the environment, they do have control over whether or not they use a plastic cutting board.
NEW: The real reason hotel rooms are so expensive now is because hotels across America are reportedly using an algorithm to secretly, and illegally, inflate prices.
Today, we introduced AB 413 to institute daylighting to improve public safety. CAâs pedestrian fatality rate is more than 25% higher than the national average. Daylighting is an important measure that increases visibility of pedestrians & bicyclists at crosswalks & intersections
I think itâs actually a good thing when wealthy college kids are concerned with social justice and global affairs. Poor people got shit to do, why not them

People are going to react negatively to getting rid of free parking when you have not yet offered them an alternative to driving. At that point it's not an incentive to travel another way, it's just an added necessary cost.
Places where itâs legal to open a 24 hour coffee shop / bookstore (with or w/o a cat) in San Francisco, in green
This isnât capitalism. Itâs state central planning gone horribly wrong
If you ever wanna know why capitalism sucks, think about how many people you've known who wanna open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat) if they ever get rich vs how many rich people ever actually open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat).
Here's a better visualization of homicide rates vs. crash fatality rates for the principal cities of America's 50 largest metro areas.

activists is that, unlike Europe, people are far more likely to be murdered in a U.S. city than die in a crash.
Apparently this is news to people but yes, your tires are spewing millions of tiny particles of plastic into the air & water every time you drive. EVs wonât fix that
The first person who can figure out how to build a
1) daycare
2) remote co-working space
3) coffee shop

This photo is incredible. Thousand year old stone streets have withstood ages but the brand new asphalt road disappears in a few years.
Maybe cars and car-travel was a bad idea lol
Stop lights are for cars. If everybody was on bikes we wouldnât need them.
âJaywalkingâ is only a thing because of cars. If there were no cars on the streets they wouldnât be off limits to the public.
Cars are the problem. Removing cars is the solution.

One problem with your âfollowing the lawâ tack is that bad laws, like 30 mph posted speed limits in areas where 40 is perfectly safe, undermine respect for good ones. Iâm in favor of sensible speed limits vigorously enforced. Unfortunately, we currently lack the former.
The next president could well appoint three Supreme Court Justices.
Thomas is 76, Alito is 74, Sotomayor is 70.
The balance of the Court could get even more conservative at 7-2 or it could swing back to middle at 4-5. It's up to us.

Airbnbs in Mission Beach, San Diego.
31% of housing supply here is entire-home, unhosted short-term rentals, almost all are investment properties.
During a supposed "housing shortage".
Ah yes letâs make a poorly compensated service worker deal with this bullshit because youâre mad you donât get to store your personal belongings in public space for free
Density vs tree canopy:
This neighborhood I'm in in Mexico City has so much tree canopy alongside immense density. Can't even hardly see through to the streets from above.
Paying to park at home is dumb. Paying to park at work is dumb. Paying to park on public streets is dumb. Paying to park at events you bought tickets for is dumb. Paying to park at hospitals is dumb. The ONLY time we should have to pay is valet or private garages.
If you are a self-proscribed âruralistâ you donât get to complain about the cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure to transmit power all the way out there to you
Deranged lunatic loses his mind while driving down a quiet residential street and 1000s of people are defending the asshole instead of the two people on bikes doing absolutely nothing wrong
Just trying to get coffee with my daughter on her last day in town when this impatient driver tries to pass us with oncoming traffic and then again when weâre signaling a left turn. This is why we ride in primary position. Weâre not moving over if itâs unsafe to pass!

>Doesnât live in city

Make it make sense lol
To rebuild I-95 on time, we need 12 hours of dry weather to complete the paving and striping process.
With rain in the forecast, we reached out
@PoconoRaceway
for help â and they're bringing their jet dryer to Philly to help dry this section of I-95 and keep us on schedule.
Canât believe NIMBYs in San Diego didnât want these apartments to go up.
Their comments were ânot in line with community characterâ and âno parking!â
Today we have a beautiful building and still way too much parking in the surrounding neighborhood.
If we want more than a bandaid on the housing crisis, the next increment of development should be legalized by right, in every neighborhood across North America.
Hereâs the splendid Road Damage Calculator that
@cargobikeben
shared earlier. Your council needs to see this. Why are we all paying for the damage caused by SUV drivers??
