it’s awesome how every single anti-congestion pricing argument is completely crumbling when faced with real-world data. this is why congestion pricing always gets more popular after it’s implemented: it simply works

In my opinion, more than 75% of every urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture program today should focus on “SPRAWL REPAIR”. The work is endless. And virtually nobody is teaching it.

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵

"Research shows people in the US think traffic deaths are inevitable, but they aren't." Land use policy and transportation engineering are contributing to a public health crisis.

Birmingham AL has a very underrated pre-war housing stock and pretty walkable neighborhoods. You can thank it's pre-war industrialization for giving it an urban fabric that looks much more like a northern city than a southern one.

Car storage takes up a ton of space. Cities are constrained. It's a geometry problem. If a person drives themselves to a city center and parks, they should expect to pay.

Thanks to decongestion pricing: “Totally anecdotally,” Michaelson continues, “doctors are reporting that their patients are not late for appointments. I spoke to someone who has to deliver merchandise who was saying, ‘It saves so much time.’

The mode that should be free and covered entirely at public expense is walking which is foundational to human health and development. That’s accessible, wide, tree lined sidewalks well maintained at public expense. All other modes, 🚲🚉🚎🚙 should be priced a their true costs.
