This is not how I would want Pittsburgh to make the national news, but @davidzipper.bsky.social gives a succinct description of headwinds our transit faces nationally Cutting service will not get us out of a downward trend, unlocking dedicated funding (state/local) will helps us grow ridership.

"If we're going to do all this streamlining and upzoning to incentivize market-rate development, we should at least require that a bunch of the housing built be affordable" is an extremely common line from legislators and city councilors. It sounds superficially reasonable! This is why it's not.

Yeah I'm not one to deny that some amoubt if greenfield development is necessary to end the housing crisis, but there is no reason it needs to be car-centric bedroom communities. Also, here's a thought: why not densify the sprawl that already exists?

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

A big issue with IZ is that people believe its a policy that fights exclusionary zoning, which can increase segregation and decrease economic efficiency. If we want to end exclusionary zoning, IZ policies that increase red tape and decrease housing production aren't the answer.
