the things that are reported matters. the language used matters. what is left out of the story matters.

the nypd doing a mass shooting over a $2.90 fare evasion truly is the inevitable endpoint of the police as an institution and also just the encapsulation of how everything we're fighting is all the same fucking thing at its core. nypd kkk idf you're all the same.

We have to recognize the deeply embedded values inherent to the engineering profession if we want to build safe, effective transportation systems.

Missing Middle Housing: Thinking Big and Building Small to Respond to Today’s Housing Crisis

Opticos Design founder Daniel Parolek inspired a new movement for housing choice in 2010 when he coined the term “Missing Middle Housing.” This transformative concept highlights a time-proven, incremental, beloved way to provide more housing choices in resilient, walkable places such as cottage courts, fourplexes, and courtyard buildings.

According to Chuck Marohn, “Missing Middle Housing is an indispensable piece of the Strong Towns vision for cities that are resilient, adaptable, and can pay their bills.“ Hear from Dan, the author of the new book, Missing Middle Housing: Thinking Big and Building Small to Respond to Today’s Housing Crisis, as he dives deep into Missing Middle Housing.

In this webcast, Dan will discuss:

what “missing middle” means and why it’s important for your city or town

how policy, planning and zoning can create barriers to the delivery of Missing Middle Housing types and how planners can respond to make way for more housing options

how the Missing Middle concept is being applied around the world

case studies of how creative developers are delivering these types and the responses from communities of buyers and renters.

James Kunstler: How bad architecture wrecked cities

In James Howard Kunstler’s view, public spaces should be inspired centers of civic life and the physical manifestation of the common good. Instead, he argues, what we have in America is a nation of places not worth caring about.

We Had Electric Cars in 1900… Then This Happened. 

In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at how the electric car was popular in the 1900s and then everything changed. Specifically, I look at how electric cars have been around multiple times and have failed not because of engineering failures but because of cultural and societal issues. Electric cars like Tesla and GM’s new electric cars might be the turning point in the road for the electric car, but if we look back at history, the electric car has always faced an uphill battle. Norway’s electric car program has been instrumental in showing the world that in order to create an electric car infrastructure, we need to emphasize electric car subsidies, electric car charging stations, and much more. It is possible to transition quickly away from electric cars, we just have to put the effort in to get us there.

Suburbia is Subsidized: Here’s the Math

Car-dependent suburbia is subsidized by productive urban places. That’s why American cities are broke. But how bad is it, and who is subsidizing who?

Elites want us to use the word 'accident' because it shifts the blame from them onto some seemingly random act of god... Listen to the episode, language matters.
