This story buries the lede, but if you pull out a calculator and do the math, AAA found that the average American spends $15,031 a year for a single car! www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/c...
cnbc.com
Car ownership costs an average of $5,851 a year on top of auto loan payments, analysis finds
The cost of insurance, gas, and maintenance or repairs can add thousands of dollars a year to the price of owning a car.

Motorists want to demolish SF's 3rd-most popular park and turn it back into a highway in order to save a few minutes. Their ballot argument? Pedestrian safety! Thank you @missionlocal.org for providing data to thoroughly refute.

Highway 37 sees 40,000 car commuters a day who will get an $11 billion taxpayer gift from Caltrans to elevate the freeway to deal with the climate change caused by the cars. BART sees 200,000 commuters a day who have to fight like hell to raise $3.6 billion just to keep the trains running.

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.
The Strøget opens up into a large central space filled with people in central Copenhagen.

Hardened fare gates are bad Clipper reader for only elevator at Embarcadero is broken, so there are no accessible entrances at BART's busiest station Instead of opening the gates here and risking tiny loss of fare, BART chose to completely close the elevator over one broken payment device 😡

my takeaway from reading 150 years worth of historical transit and planning documents is that the solutions have been known the entire time and studies are just a way for people who don't want change to waste time

This is the most tragically American thing I’ve ever read www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
Rebecca Jaramillo stepped out of the Santa Fe jail and into the cold one night in January 2021. After two days in a cell, she was free, but no one was there to pick her up. So, with a snowstorm coming, she began the long walk toward town.
The jail in Santa Fe, surrounded by barbed wire and tumbleweed, sits on a remote stretch of highway far from the city's bustling plaza and historic churches. It is nearly two miles down the highway to the closest gas station, three miles to where a sidewalk starts and eight miles to the nearest homeless shelter.
Ms. Jaramillo, 33, made it only about a mile from the jail that night before she was hit by a sheriff's deputy driving a police pickup truck at 57 miles per hour. Her body was thrown more than 100 feet, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.Ms. Jaramillo, who was struck by the sheriff's deputy in 2021, had once worked as a correctional officer herself at a jail not too far away before falling on harder times. She had been booked into the jail for trespassing at a homeless shelter that banned her. A police report from the crash said she had been walking in the middle of a lane on the highway.
