What a killer paragraph:

The very fact that this meeting is necessary incriminates the US healthcare system, whose labyrinth of unaffordable bills and unavailable appointments can seem designed to prevent people from getting the treatment they need. Livia Alejo, 37, the woman now whispering “Dios mío” as Flores explains her situation through tears, isn’t a doctor, a nurse, a therapist, a government employee or an insurance representative. As a community health worker, she’s simply trying to make up for the systemic failures of all five.

Even the NYC metro area is projected to have 23.4m people in 2080. Not nearly as steep of a curve as some of the others but also something we're not prepared for. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When we talk about housing crises and other such resource strains we don’t always take the long view. And the long view is that the world is urbanizing FAST. Before population decline comes rapid population growth, especially in some cities. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Meanwhile, the central government is making moves to advance a giant multibillion-dollar canal project that detained Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu had called “a dagger intended to be thrust into the city’s heart” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

A map shows the proposed canal bisecting the European side of Turkey.

I’ve been slightly obsessed w/ Northern Va’s unfettered data center growth & particularly these 2 communities being surrounded. TY to @linpoonsays.bsky.social for sticking w/ it to the end of their rezoning case. This map from our graphics friends nails the vibe www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

How delightful for Rancho Cucamonga that they are taking up the chance to rebuild themselves for transit as the western terminus of the bullet train to Las Vegas. Great story by @sstodola.bsky.social ‬ www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
