@bort17 @cityaestheticss 2. So they can sell the whole building to one portfolio holder more easily. To this end, they're not interested in city-building or community-building.

Housing on top Business in the base Let’s bring back mixed use neighborhoods

@bort17 @cityaestheticss 1. Not sure, I think it begins with the funding (after you've changed zoning laws). Developers have a one track mind. They're interested in one building use: housing, offices, retail etc. They tend not to be interested in housing plus something else. They like an easy sell-off.

@MaCgroupUK @RVA_DOT Most old cities are perfect for bikes because of the narrow streets. Old city streets are too narrow for cars, so the incomparability is the car, not the bike.

@RVA_DOT No most old cities do not have the room for bike lanes &they add little to nothing to the economy , yet cost tax payers a fortune & deliberate congestion, deliberate increased emissions & cost the economy !

People driving cars and people riding bikes agree: a network of protected bike lanes is best for everyone. 🚲

@sc_campo125 Making statements you aren't qualified to make. How did you come to your conclusion?

Just told the world he doesn’t actually know many mainlanders 🤭

@sc_campo125 @KevinWSHPod Hoping you didn't just ask for my WeChat contacts.

@TucoMRamirez @KevinWSHPod That tells me you don’t know too many 🤭

Spending a few days in China with my (half-chinese) gf, pretty incredible how the rest of the world is living decades behind this country You can do literally everything from one single app (Alipay: travel, food, taxi, hotels, Fx rate, tax refund, translation etc..) okay maybe add Wechat so 2 apps Gigantic cities (with endless skyscrapers) that are a few decades old with tens of millions of people: clean, green, no “overcrowded feeling” (actually wondering where people are) Food and items delivered by drone to drone kiosk Top notch high speed trains Top notch premium transportations that are super cheap compared to the “western world” Etc etc…

@isfjcutebear This is really bad news for Chinese people.

The reason Japan is awesome Is because of the people Not because they figured out a miraculous economic theory A country is it's people

@sc_campo125 @KevinWSHPod Better in this case meaning oppressed by their overlords. I don't know a mainlander who doesn't want to get the hell out of there.

@KevinWSHPod Modern 🇨🇳 needs to be seen to be believed. It’s incredible how far it’s has come. While the West has been busy arguing pronouns, bathrooms, DEI, China has been busy building a better life for their people.

@NiohBerg You missed out the limp dick. Gay....and a limp dick. He turned down half the population. And the other half turned him down due to poor performance.

Every regime official is getting wiped out and Mojtaba is gay What a week

@EVCurveFuturist It looks like worshiping the car is continuing.

Oil companies in the West: still debating whether EVs are viable. Oil companies in China: building charging hubs the size of fuel terminals. Shell’s biggest EV station on Earth: 📍 Shenzhen ⚡ 258 fast chargers The future isn’t waiting for Western think tanks. #Bettrification

@TGTM_Official @GundamNorthrop There's only one thing worse than being hacked. And that's not being hacked.

Breaking: The Chinese Communist Party’s national supercomputing center has been hacked.

@Grippan65Momi @vdmempire Being the most educated country in a region dominated by the Muslim faith isn't the win you think it is.

Careful with stats… 👀 80% with PhDs? That’s not reality — but the bigger truth still stands: 🇮🇷 Iran is one of the most educated societies in the region. High literacy. Strong STEM base. Women in science. ⚠️ Which makes one thing clear: this isn’t a conflict against an “unaware” nation… it’s against a highly educated, strategic society. That changes everything. Because wars against knowledge-driven nations don’t end quickly — they evolve into long-term resistance. 📚🧠 Education is power… and power doesn’t collapse easily. 🔥

SHOCKING 😳 🇮🇷 We just discovered that 80% of the population in Iran has Master's degrees and PhDs. Their President is an excellent heart surgeon, and The Foreign Minister and almost all members of Parliament holds a PhD. Irán also has a 94% literacy rate and one of the largest populations of women scientists in the world. They are an ancient empire that innovated mathematics and science. 94% literacy rate? ❤️

@QuentinDempster My push bike runs on musli. I live close to work. There's 2 supermarkets, 3 pubs, a park, 2 schools and a nursery, coffee shops, takeaways and a chemist is walking distance of my home. On energy, time, the environment (near and far) and finance, my 15 minute city wins.

The penny drops: EVs are far cheaper to run per kilometre than petrol/diesel vehicles. 👇This, folks, is the game changer. We won’t have to rely on supply/price manipulative corrupt global cartels. + Public health benefit = no particulate pollution.

@DavidPocock The problem is batteries. And the battery problem is twofold. - EV batteries are not to be trusted. They catch fire, they last longest if charged to partial capacity and their efficiency reduces with age. - Rare earth mining is one of the worst of environmental disasters.

Australia burns through about 25 billion litres of petrol and diesel every year. Replacing petrol cars with EVs would cut our reliance on expensive imported foreign fuel. But EVs still make up only about 2% of Australia’s 20 million vehicles. More affordable EVs & a strong second-hand EV market can help more Australians afford the switch while strengthening our energy security. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@BrittanyinTexas For my next challenge, please write a list of the countries you are least interested in visiting. (Spoiler....you already did.)

The countries of Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, & Yemen now ban Israeli passport holders from entering their territory. 😮

@SustainableTall The problem with this thread is that people are concentrating on finance and the passing on of risk, when actually, the issue is what makes a pleasant place to live.

London has built lots of flats…but few people want to buy them Since 2014, some 20,000 flats have been completed in Wandsworth. But nearly 40% of modern flats there have sold at a loss in the last 5 years archive.is/A3rfy

@SustainableTall Follow this lady to understand: - Why - And what the solution is x.com/i/status/20338…

@sydney_ev You do realise, that every power source in history eventually turned into a problem for the Earth and its climate? EVs and the battery technology needed to store the electricity is not the solution.

China installed more renewable energy last year than the rest of the planet combined. their emissions are now falling. they have near 20 Million Evs on the rods, over 50% cars sold are EV. China sees how bad addiction to oil can be. and giving it up. abc.net.au/news/2026-03-1…

@iranscreenshot Now document the crimes committed by the authoritarian dictatorship that is the Iranian Regime and we'll do a free and open comparison.

@Isaac2003_v2 Alicia @UrbanCourtyard knows why this is necessary for the good of society, and she knows how to do it: x.com/i/status/20338…

Nimbys who care about conserving nature should support this, because it's the best way to prevent suburban sprawl - which is easily the form of urbanism most destructive to nature

@Isaac2003_v2 I'm a yimby, but I don't want this. I want a societal structure that joins the community together cohesively rather than isolating individuals and families either in tower blocks or in gated suburbia.
