Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

the permitting reform deal is extremely good and Dems should support it because 1. It will lower carbon emissions 2. It will not help Trump politically, and most of the benefits won’t be felt until 2029 3. we won’t get a better deal while Trump is President 4. We can always improve it in 2029

i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

There seems to be a consensus building at the ICC that the 2030 I-Codes are going to allow four-unit buildings in the IRC, and now it’s just a matter of the details. One proposal presented today would only allow two units stacked on top of each other, so no three-fams/triple-deckers/three-flats.

One of the key components to the Kessler Plan for Dallas, was to extricate the 'global' transportation infrastructure of the time from the city, preventing it from disrupting the 'local' connective fabric.

Some of the discourse on USAID has reminded me of this.
oudenonoma:

There is a Jewish story about a wealthy man who came to his rabbi and said "I have decided to build an orphanage, can you put me in touch with the relevant people?"

The rabbi was delighted to do it, and introduced the man to some charities. After a few weeks, the man came back to the rabbi.

"I have decided not to build the orphanage," he said. "I realised that I was only doing it because I wanted to be admired as a philanthropist, my motives were selfish."

The rabbi answered, "do you think the orphans will care what your motives were? Build the orphanage!"

College students should vote in their interests, and the interest of the future student population. Just because a particular student won't be there in 4 years does mean there won't be A student there in 4 years.

Some things I've learned about legislative advocacy, and I think my record speaks for itself. 1. Start by asking for everything you want. Stop preemptively negotiating against yourself. The process of passing the bill will whittle it down. Why started with a whittled down product?

We can't solve a housing crisis without building more housing. Today we broke ground on the Casanova Residence, which will soon be nearly 100 affordable and supportive homes with on-site services for New Yorkers. Every new home is a step toward a City that everyone can afford.
