We shouldn't live our lives based on Victorian proverbs nor should we plan out a socialist future using neoliberal anti-poor policies. Where do these two things intersect? At the 30% rule - the idea that housing is affordable as long as it's under 30% of your income. youtu.be/ilVjEv91adE

is it more vindicating or more depressing that all of the most heinous people i've coordinated with at FTA are delighted to tell us environmental justice is dead? my career has taught me that believing transit should not exist and working for a transit agency are not mutually exclusive things.

The neoliberals who got us to this place—whose triangulation and capitulation undermined progress for the working class—now think we should “roll over and play dead” rather than vigorously fight these fascists. I don’t know why anyone still listens to these pundits of yesterday.

do the yimby underlings notice that every one of their thought leaders is coming out against trans rights and immigration or are they ignoring what’s in front of them like always?

it’s an interesting theory because at the time, Friedmann was not very far left. it was a sort of logical+philosophical journey but he ended up in a place that feels very close to municipalism. if you liked the video i do recommend reading the book- he’s a very enjoyable writer.

but the contrasting group - those who don’t care about what they create and only want money…ugh it just makes me feel gross. these people can only imitate what they see and that’s so sad to me. if you’re going to take the time to make something, you should really believe in your own work.

i want to be successful on youtube for sure, but i also love making videos. i love sharing what i know with other people. i love hearing their response to it. and i’m sure these niche hobby creators feel the same way- no one can honestly say “i don’t want to make money off of these” i don’t think.

Josh (rad_planner) @radicalplanning.bsky.social · 25/02/2025
it’s kind of depressing- i don’t really understand it. like first of all, you aren’t successful on youtube so why would anyone watch this. but second, why would you ever want to create something that you don't really understand or have experience with? i’m witnessing a crisis of creativity here.

Josh (rad_planner) @radicalplanning.bsky.social · 25/02/2025
i got into a niche hobby and have been watching tons of vids by small channels on youtube. awesome to see so many creators who are making videos for the love of the hobby. but now the algo is giving me a lot of micro channels (under 500 subs) that solely discuss how to be successful on youtube.

things are bad right now for sure, but things have been bad for decades- for longer even. please take care of yourself but remember that neoliberalism (and fascism) depend on you becoming demobilized by its spectacle. try to find your role.

this site is easily the most libbed up place on the internet right now, but i’m still taken aback by how many bluesky users seem to think that if we could bring the government back to what it was 2 months ago then everyone would have a good life again.

i am not dismissing the struggles of queer people in the 70s and im not calling for a retvrn but we definitely do not have the neighborhood presence that queer people did in the 70s.

Josh (rad_planner) @radicalplanning.bsky.social · 31/12/2024
i keep seeing tweets about queerness in the 70s that totally dismiss the networks of solidarity present then that do not exist today. people posting things like, “how brave” when describing gayborhoods that literally peaked in the 70s. that was the golden age of queer urban life.

are you bored today? spend an hour with me while i discuss how American urban planning cannot solve the problems of neoliberal capitalism because American urban planning IS neoliberal capitalism.

so to me, the essence of contemporary american liberalism is hobbesian- it’s the fervent belief that our form of representative democracy has absolute authority and validity and therefore should be protected from anything larger than simple reform. even as the whole thing collapses.
