Paper straws and reusable grocery bags can’t begin to compensate for the environmental harms of bad land use.

The Cherokee Nation celebrates the U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of a blatantly political request to overturn its #McGirt decision. Here is our response to the #SCOTUS Conference order on January 21, 2022:

A family of 7 was killed by driver of a Dodge Challenger going over 100mph. While the driver is to blame, he was using this vehicle in the way it was designed and marketed to be used by a company that incites violence on our roads. A thread on how #DodgeKills in their own words.

Great resignation or great renegotiation? The data tell the story: Quit rates are being driven by younger, lower-skilled workers getting better opportunities in a strong labor market. #EconTwitter #TheGreatResignation #Jobs #AcademicTwitter

This perfectly captures my feelings about our move from SF to Tulsa. Superstar cities are superstar cities for a reason.

Imagine being a first-gen community college student from the Central Valley opening your UC Berkeley admissions statement and celebrating with your family only to get a follow up letter rescinding your admission because some $2 mil. homeowners don't want apartments by their house

The deep and cynical irony of Supreme Court Justices expressing concern for Native victims of violent crime when decades of reports point to the jurisdictional loopholes #SCOTUS created in Oliphant for creating a crisis of violence against Native women.

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-…

If you think you're risking your life by going to the big city, you really don't want to visit rural America. Justin Fox has dug into the death data again (via Bloomberg Opinion) trib.al/VM9RMSL

If I've taught you anything, it's that cities are better without highways. (Embarcadero, San Francisco)

If you're concerned about random violence, you should fear the cars more than the crime.

Many CA cities require new developments to be built with lots of on-site parking, no matter if the spots are needed or desired. AB 2097 will abolish minimum car parking requirements near major transit stops. This will slash pollution and reduce the cost of building housing.

Our streets will never be safe for children until we daylight A LOT more corners. We need to make it physically impossible for cars to crowd the crosswalk.

Devastating news. We know what needs to be done, but lack the courage and resolve to do it. Safe street design and infrastructure save lives, yet we continue to prioritize the comfort and convenience of drivers over the lives of pedestrians and other users of our streets.

Traffic engineering is ALWAYS a factor when a car kills a pedestrian. We have to do better at pushing back against car-centric rhetoric. San Francisco Chronicle
