Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I've been staring at this figure for a while. Even NYC is 70% car trips. Really want to know the European cities above 70. Given small circles I'm guessing Ghent and The Hague. 030
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Glad to have the baksfiet share back in service so Honey can get her hip shot and go to the beach! 010
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Sunday morning at 10:30 and the The Hague city services was out to empty to a full recycling vault. This is great infrastructure, but it also requires diligent service provision. 020
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 23/10/2025But if he really had to have new construction, can I nominated the New Executive Office Building for demolition? 000
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 23/10/2025If Trump really wanted a ballroom, I think it could have been carved out of the old executive office building: 100
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 23/10/2025This is the equivalent of having a house where the front elevation is mostly just a garage. 110
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 15/04/2025This graphic was on a van near my house in Den Haag and I have so many questions. It's an AI rendering of an American trucker driving casually past farms while being watched over by a Jesus angle and honestly wonder if it's repurposed parody. The way Evil Burt was shown with Bin Laden after 9/11. 200
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Canals in the Netherlands are principally for drainage, but they're quite an amenity. 010
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 21/02/20254 Dutch workers removed 120' of these pavers, trenched to 3', added a fat conduit of some kind (no house connections) backfilled, mechanically tamped and reset pavers in 4 hours! 010
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Found this quote today at the Amsterdam Resistance museum. It felt a bit timely as my former institution dumps any attempt to anticipate climate impact or broaden the econ tent. 021
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Deeply honored to become a Hoyt Academic Fellow. What a great conference! 010
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 23/12/2024When IP is weak and horse meat un-stigmatized. 020
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I was struck by how truck sales diverged from car sales in 2016, did Trump unleash men's id? But no, I looked back and it's just cheap gas once again 200
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Tyler Cowen has speculated that Europe's appeal basically comes down to pretty old buildings. I'm in Rotterdam today (where little survived the war) but a human scale street grid, bike lanes and public transit support a density that is amenity rich and visually stimulating. 070
Chris Cunningham @econcunningham.bsky.social · 09/11/2024One of the US's strengths was the separation and tension between economic and political power. For many countries a business oligarchy sustains the government with money and media and the government protects their business from regulation but also competion which kills productivity growth. 020
