Amsterdam is currently removing about 1,500 on-street car parking spaces per year—with a goal of 10,000 eliminated from 2019 to 2025. A part of the Herengracht was recently restored to its former glory; offering a glimpse at what a car-free canal ring could eventually look like.

Shout out to Suzanne for having a completely normal, well-adjusted reaction to the idea of building more homes.

The thing that Democratic leaders need to understand is that voters want to see results! they want to see transit being built that makes their commute better and solar panels & wind farms that provide clean energy voters don’t care about lawyers writing 4,000 page studies

Chicago originally having 9 different intercity train stations will always be hilarious
