Yes, and this is one reason NYC needs to really get moving on implementing Sammy's Law and dropping the speed limit to 20 mph (or lower) everywhere it can. Not that we don't need better infrastructure, but lower speed limits would unlock a lot of bicycle trips and make things safer overall.

Incredible to see the "experts" on resolving the housing emergency that Spain is experiencing! On every television! @telediario_tve @ANoticias
@tele5_noticias @noticias_cuatro The reality is that we have politicians who try to create decrees and solutions when they lack the preparation or knowledge to devise a real solution to the problem we're facing.
Spain doesn't have a problem of a lack of decrees. It has a problem of a lack of housing.
And as long as the Government keeps confusing announcing measures with solving problems, we'll keep paying the consequences of its inaction.
Subsidizing demand without increasing supply pressures prices. Regulating a market more and more without building new housing doesn't eliminate scarcity: it manages it. Taxing a type of rental can change incentives, but it doesn't lay a single brick either.

Because housing doesn't get cheaper by distributing scarcity. It gets cheaper by ending it.
Spain needs to build. A lot.
More available land. Permits in months, not years. More density wherever possible. Legal certainty. Much more public housing and also private housing.
But the Government isn't doing what's necessary. It prefers to intervene on the few homes that exist rather than create the conditions for there to be many more. It prefers to present patches as solutions and load the cost of its failure onto owners, developers, and citizens.
The rest can serve to redistribute, protect certain groups, or change incentives. But let's not confuse that with solving the underlying problem.
You don't fix a lack of housing by better distributing the few homes that exist. You fix it by making many more exist.
Less propaganda. Less patches. Less obsession with intervening on the same apartment.
More supply. More construction. More homes.

I think it's bad that kids simply *riding* e-motos are viewed as problematic. What about the high schoolers I see driving trucks and overpowered cars? Or parents in giant SUVs? Both of which are more dangerous. No, no, the kids on e-motos are the real scourge.

Why are dirt bikes being ridden to middle school? How is that allowed?

If I were a cafe owner and a new bike lane went in on the street where my business is located I'd ask the city to also install bike parking or do it myself to entice as many people to stop as possible. Because stopping when you see a nice business is one of the best and easiest parts about cycling!

There's another reason that the Bass campaign definitely wants to discredit this "outlier" poll. Crosstabs are out and "fixing streets, sidewalks, streetlights and other city infrastructure" is listed first across the board as the top priority for LA voters. Even above homelessness and crime!

Effective Transit Alliance @etany.org · 02/10/2026

The MTA is looking for ways to improve passenger wayfinding via improved screens and announcements. Better tech is good on paper, ETA's Blair Lorenzo told the New York Groove, but the real question is if it will actually be used to improve the rider experience, and not simply blast more noise.

Lorenzo noted that any new tech is only as good as the messaging its used for. New tech also opens up the opportunity, of course, for more advertising.

"That would only make the rider experience worse, further pushing people who can to ignore announcements while forcing those who rely on them to sift through an ever-increasing amount of noise," she said. "The best technology in the world is useless if it isn't used in a way that gives riders the information they need while otherwise respecting their time and attention."
