yes but this will need to be followed by increased/expanded parking charges and potentially congestion charges too, otherwise it might end up increasing the overall number of vehicles making things worse.

Yes enforcement. But there are a whole series of car-related offences for which there needs to be consequences not standard criminal justice/penal responses. This is a case in point. It should be met with licence suspension and asset forfeiture.

City workers usually move fast to dismantle a guerrilla crosswalk or bench, often arriving in a matter of hours. IMO that's part of the activists' power: They show that government *can* quickly change streets—even if it seldom does.

What if making your neighborhood safer means breaking the rules?

Neighborhood vigilantes are making their own crosswalks, bus stop benches, and DIY bike lanes. Not everyone’s happy about it.

Simply read this summary on what is driving the increased prevalence of mental health distress from the long awaiting final independent report into teenage mental health. Now compare it to the public discussion on mental health which basically comes down to social media and over-diagnosis.

The rise in mental distress among children and young people has unfolded alongside profound changes in the conditions of childhood. No single cause explains it. Family life, education, communities, digital environments and economic security all influence whether children feel safe and connected, have time to recover, can participate in everyday life and can look to the future with confidence.

Among the possible drivers, digital environments and educational pressures show the closest correspondence with the timing and pattern of rising distress. Neither is likely to be the principal cause. The evidence indicates that these environments have become more significant contributors than for previous generations, interacting with family circumstances, economic insecurity and existing vulnerability rather than operating alone. Continuous comparison and visible evaluation, disrupted sleep, reduced opportunities for belonging and recovery, and growing uncertainty may reinforce one another.

The strongest protective factors for mental health are supportive parenting relationships, positive educational experiences, and community participation and belonging. The pandemic, economic insecurity, pressures on families and the decline of community infrastructure do not explain the trend on their own, but they have intensified pressures and weakened sources of protection. These effects are not evenly distributed. Children experiencing poverty, discrimination, SEND, care experience or family stress often bear the greatest burden.

Prevention cannot rest solely on helping children cope with environments that place growing demands on them. It also requires action to improve those environments: more inclusive schools; protected time for rest, play and belonging; stronger community infrastructure; reduced poverty and insecurity; practical support for parents and carers; and enforceable duties on digital platforms to protect children while preserving the connection and support they can pro…

Reading to/with my children has been by far the one activity where I have experienced the most joy and connection with them. So much so we keep doing it even though the eldest is already in high school, which makes it a bit awkward. Hard to overstate how unbelievably shallow these people are.

Yes, but is that a defensible position? Not sure you can even attempt to estimate judicial prejudice, or even the effect of say previous convictions on sentence severity, after throwing away half of the legal factors describing the case.

true, but an issue we have in sentencing (and other research on decision-making) is what to do with case characteristics defined by the judge, like mitigating due to showing remorse. Should we control for them or not?
