After a busy week on the micromobility front, here's your reminder that biking can be a safe, space-efficient, climate-friendly way to get around. We shouldn't make it harder to use bikes and e-bikes — we should make it safer. In @nytimes.com: nyti.ms/4xYvzNM

Great moves in City Council this week to make Fair Fare enrollment easier! When we reduce the hurdles low-income New Yorkers face to get reduced fares, we make transit easier and affordable. Plus ... lots of places already do it: rpa.org/work/reports/reduced-fares

This is great news for commuters passing through Chambers St (and hopefully in the future, for folks using other stops) A lot of our city's stations are 100 years old — they're built for a climate that didn't need AC units and can't support them.

In addition to preference, long-term ownership is a path to building wealth. But … you need wealth to buy a home. If this paradox continues, we’ll see a growing wealth gap that will only deepen inequality in the US, with low-income communities of color hit the hardest.

A lot of the homes built in the last few decades in NYC are rental units. But according to the Federal Bank, people prefer owning over renting by 4-1. The problem is that ownership is increasingly out of reach for New Yorkers. “Starter home” prices have increased 87% since 2009.

Investing in resiliency in The Meadowlands is an investment in the future — otherwise, we face increased flooding (and increased costs in insurance and hazard aid). RPA's Zoe Baldwin talked about the future of the Meadowlands with Colleen Wilson and @northjerseynews.bsky.social
