Clarendon day in Arlington is another reminder that when we close spaces to cars they are better places to be and more people come.
Tents on a pedestrianized street.More tents on a pedestrianized street with midrise buildings.Even more people at the street fair.

Another reason I'm so obsessed with getting tons of new rental housing built, it robs insane landlords of the ability to put prospective tenants through this sort of shit.

Whenever I meet someone that just moved here I give them a hug and offer to share my big list of restaurants I love and tell them about good hikes around here and I don’t understand the point of living if that’s not your gut response to any new neighbor

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

I’ll be honest, it had never occurred to me that the lead hijacker of 9/11 was motivated in part by a deep hatred of tall buildings. I should have known.

Stopped by the Zaandam Lego Houses (not affiliated with Lego®)
Photo of a large building in a forest green color with a red roof and white trim, with portions of the building jutting out from the main structure. Looks a bit like a Lego house a kid would build.Photo of the Zaandam City Hall building, a vibrant green-colored building topped with a clock. There is a terrace flanked by four whales, indicating that the city was founded by whalers.Photo of a large apartment building (maybe a hotel?) painted in a variety of greens and blues, vaguely reminiscent of a forest flanking a river.

A mysterious, never before seen island in Canada made waves after it was photographed adrift on Williston Lake, British Columbia before supposedly vanishing. Video footage of the island shows a thickly forested landmass undulating surreally on the water. But did it really disappear?
