Even if there is a court injunction at some point, NYC should tell Trump to fuck off. Musk & Trump are ignoring the law, why should MTA tolerate it?

Trainnnnnnnssssss (and a few planes). It's a small achievement, but I've gone 19 days without driving a car.

Recent trains: Panama City, São Paulo, San Francisco Lately every time I log into Bluesky, it's wall to wall bad news, so I don't really have much else to say right now.

Geography is destiny, if California keeps shedding population to TX & FL, Democrats will really struggle to win the presidency. Probably a lot of people still think it's worth it to keep their personal property values up.

Every time I get blocked for suggesting that a bit more housing density might be good, I know I'm hitting a nerve. Maybe things aren't okay the way they are?

The Incofer regional train shown running on a city street, passing under a shade tree in San Jose, Costa Rica.  In the background, a bit of urban graffiti and a cloudy sky.

The NYC subway may be held together with tape, but it's still the best in the US

It depends on what the goal is, DFW has less to spend on transit, there's less political support for it. Colorado also has limits in funding vs a popular expansion like in Seattle. Look at what NYC is spending to expand the 2nd Ave subway to cover the most riders possible. Denver can't do that.

100borders @100borders.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Is the conclusion that Denver spent too much, or that they spend too little? Seattle spends a *lot* more to serve about double the ridership
