An obvious, but critical point

Too bad the City makes it difficult for more people to live here and experience it. I want MORE neighbors.

Making EV tax credits available at the dealership is just such a no brainer and great improvement in the efficacy of this policy.

(Also: who are the 10% of people who, when asked if they'd like their money now or later, say 'Later please'?? 🤔)

Ever just stare up at overhead electrical power structures while your train is being held in the station? 🤔

Amtrak routes by adjusted operating earnings, Oct 2023 - February 2024 (in millions):

Acela, +$37.3
Northeast Regional, +$21.8
Auto Train, +$1.8
Empire Service, -$13.3
Keystone Service, -$26.9 (!!)

How?? Why? Somebody, please make Amtrak fares and financials make sense!

Quick, give me ten locations in the US that fit this definition. (*Public* is the big qualifier here, otherwise it’s all lifestyle centers)

Feels silly that all the parking meters are free citywide on a day (marathon Monday) when the city is urgently trying to get people to NOT drive into town! It’s just a big incentive to drive and for people to think they’ll be the lucky one who finds a free spot for unlimited time

I am 100% not self-made.

Everything I’ve ever done & everything I am I owe to other people, many of whom are long dead.

People aren't really defeating my suspicion that they're starting with the idea that Biden is awful and then reverse-engineering lots of reasons why. None of these criticisms make the slightest bit of sense

Frustrating that most of us want robots to cook our food and do our laundry so we can do art and write, but we got robots that can make art and write and still can't do our physical chores.

there is such learned helplessness in car dependency. people cannot even conceive of themselves living their lives without their car and will get mad at you for suggesting that they make a change. esp in places like SF it's so easy to be car free just grow up

Hey Mass. Transportation how long will it take to finish the bike lane in Charles River Dam Rd? It’s been months now that bikers need to either ride the sidewalk or just pray for the traffic not to kill us. The expectation that bikes will just “figure it out” is absurd.

We need vacant homes so that people can move.

Further, the relationship between residential vacancy rates and rent growth is crystal clear: higher vacancy rates force landlords to compete for tenants on price, which means mean slower—or negative!—rent growth.

My first trip to D.C. in 15 years, and it was a good one -- we celebrated Heatmap News first anniversary! The team has accomplished so much in its first year (50k+ daily newsletter subscribers + half a million monthly readers), and I'm looking forward to what's ahead in year 2.

In today's media environment, especially social media, the real rebellious contrarianism, the one that actually does require some courage & willingness to endure mockery & attacks, is simply saying: normie Dems are good & are accomplishing good things.
