I’m having fun on Nextdoor attacking this horrible highway project plan. To destroy a well loved and traveled stroad, which many businesses count on as-is, NC is going to spend $1,300,000,000.00. It will shorten commutes for ~ 10 thousand, so $130,000 per driver. www.ncdot.gov/projects/cap...

@nbcnews.com just did a fear piece on e-bikes. Nobody is disputing that there are risks. What’s disgraceful though, is the slaughter, killing, and horrific injuries to kids caused by cars and drivers, and these car industry shills did not even mention those dangers. Do better in your reporting.

I just rode my bike to my semi-annual dentist appointment, just under a mile from home. I had a pickup driver close pass me on road going out of my neighborhood, which has plenty of space, just for me to be next to him at the🚦. I watched another driver run that light. And e-bikes need regulation?

How 'downzoning' shaped San Diego — and pushed growth into the suburbs
Throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s, San Diego adopted stricter zoning laws that effectively banned apartments in many of the city's most walkable neighborhoods.
