Observation: at some point the Detroit People Mover switched from Arabic to Spanish as the second language for signage. (First image from Wikipedia, second one taken today)

Ok so I took the bus to some place in DeKalb County called “Your DeKalb Farmers Market“ and it’s insane (laudatory). It’s basically globalist Costco.

my kink. getting my mouth taped shut by Vickie Paladino and Bob Holden when I try to build affordable housing in Queens

Facebook ad paid for by NYC City Council that says “Mayor Adams' Ballot Proposals 2, 3 and 4 would leave us with less affordable housing and more gentrification. Get the facts!”

There is a picture of someone’s mouth taped shut, and the tape says “Ballot Proposals 2, 3, and 4”

It has net-zero energy use too! Used to be manufacturing and administrative offices for a tire company. Too bad it’s in a moat of parking

Hotel Marcel in the distance. It’s surrounded by parking

I am a parking hater but I can’t deny that New Haven has some good-looking parking structures

They got a billboard in Times Square. On one hand, I hate the “Calling it an e-bike is an insult” thing. But it’s also pretty amazing that e-bikes are such a mass market product at this point that you have ads in Times Square for them. Couldn’t have predicted that 10 years ago.

(4/5) None of the world’s great cities became what they are without some history of sprawl. My neighborhood of Sunnyside was built up when a train line went through empty fields and real estate speculators went on a building spree. This was the sprawl of the era.
