World's only ISTEA stan. Friendly bureaucrat and all-purpose nerd in Memphis, TN. The solution is usually to run more buses. All posts are my own personal mistakes. 🚰

Post the craziest argument against building more housing that you've ever seen. I'll go first.

Glad to see vehicular cyclists are having a normal one.
A Facebook comment which reads: Real cyclists, INCLUDING the ones of us who would like to see the creation of more uses for junk tires, DON'T WANT segregationist crap such as "bike lanes". Even breathing the soot from SIMPLY BURNING the tires would KILL FEWER CYCLISTS.A second facebook comment from the same person which reads: Yes. All vehicular roads are, by definition, of adequate width for cycling. You'll be forced to learn this after we report your beloved DEI-for-cyclists crap to DOGE for defunding.

The Daily Memphian today is full of just the most *shocking* news that no one could have predicted.

I will not be lectured on SMART goals and KPIs by a fortune cookie.

A specific subset are convinced that what they're seeing on Chinese Pinterest is proof that China has achieved fully automated luxury space communism

Excuse you. People get entire PhDs writing about movement in lowland and mountain gorillas.

To be fair, Duffy does have experience with alternate modes of movement.
Duffy started log rolling at age five and speed climbing (sprinting up 60- and 90-foot poles) at 13. He holds two speed-climbing titles.

1. Can't say off the top of my head 2. It doesn't conform to either TDOT or City design guidelines, but as Zac said those are very easily overridden 3. Unfortunately, it's still an improvement over the Google Streetview shot of that corner

Why do we bash “unaffordable” cities for not building housing but we never question if someone is homeless because they have bad vibes? Or if they’re just not cool enough to deserve a home?

If you press your ear to these signs, you can still hear a traffic engineer asking EXACTLY how long those kids need to be safe for.
