@CSElmendorf @buildssrc I've had to ask myself the same question as part of my day-job, so I used Fable5 to develop a tool that integrates surface transportation infrastructure design with infrastructure lifecycle cost analysis in order to be able to visualize what-if regulatory change scenarios

Got a project in the works on valuing infrastructure? Submit it for this (⤵️) @buildssrc conference next spring.
Proposals due by 7/31.

Pro Waymo, pro data center, pro nuclear, pro solar, pro train, anti zoning, pro housing has to be one of the most correct and unelectable combinations in America

@sambendett It would be really cool if these unmanned aircraft were able to perform some CAP over a target area - divebomb on air defence when a low & slow bomber gets shot down; suppress russian airfields during operations

This beautiful affordable housing was built in Paris. A city no one would consider an inexpensive city
Meanwhile in some parts of the US instead of 200k a unit to build - you hear of $700k-1M a unit to build affordable housing

This is new social housing in France built for less than $200k/unit

@jasonc_nc Housing subsidy for those with low incomes, assuming subsidy is means-tested, may decrease housing affordability in a community if subsidy is unable to cover full regulatory-derived cost within a jurisdiction
English
Housing subsidy for those with low incomes is good. Rent control is bad.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

@jasonc_nc It is almost as if those folk need to invent an excuse to label the successes of others as failures so that they need not consider revising their political positions
English
There’s a certain type on here that upon reading anything positive about any state in the South feels compelled to shit on the entire region as a response.
Oddly enough it’s never someone from the NW or California - always Illinois then elsewhere in the Midwest first, NE second.

@WillOremus I thought solving the Euler problem was proof that the stoachastic parrot were dead?

I set out to learn why AI models love negative parallelism (“It’s not X—it’s Y.”) This was the most interesting theory I heard:

@YIMBYLAND okay but can you put this in graphics that overcome all the concrete-asphalt-labor lobby's objections?

@Erb_Tom10 Dems top priority = Trying to hold back the illiberal base while getting things done that are needed but the illiberal base hates
English
It just doesn't make sense.
Dems top priority = transmission.
A top impediment to transmission build = NHPA.
No deal materializes until Dems accept that clean energy abundance requires major reform of NEPA & NHPA. These laws simply weren’t built for the moment we’re in.
Jane Flegal@JaneAFlegal
Let me just say, if Democrats reject a permitting deal with a robust transmission provision because of NHPA angst, I will be very, very disappointed. (Also: some of the most important aspects of NHPA analysis burden clean energy disproportionately: ifp.org/reforming-sect…).

@tnertz @minc798 @BuildingChi What's the cost to remove minus any sunk-cost fallacy the present owner may feel?
English
What’s the status of vacant 201 N Clark? The 52k sq ft building was the possible future site of a 24 story, 456 room hotel.

@UrbanCourtyard Imagine how much more $$$ Disney could make if Disney put the parking underground & built point-access blocks

The walkable fake neighborhood surrounded by fields of parking is the Disney model

@JoshuaKDominic @MichaelNatelli @DreamstarLines One thing I've realized is that the only way to change systems is to bring whole-of-system representatives along with for the change
Abe Lincoln were a great railroad lawyer - If granting railroads dev authority was good enough 4 Lincoln why not good enough for America any more?
English
@MichaelNatelli Correct, this is my underwriting worldview for @DreamstarLines - and what most people fail to understand.
It's not just trains, it's civilization building.
English
Creating better places always requires tugging at several threads at once.
Housing becomes a transportation conversation, a childcare conversation, etc.
But we still talk about each one in its own silo.
It’s all part of the same human ecosystem. We should treat it that way.

@GreenPlusAnE I'm mad that Microsoft isn't powering it with clean, green nuclear energy

The most advanced technology in the world depends on fossil fuels and conservative governance, and progressives' only takeaway from this is to get mad.

The most advanced technology in the world has progressive views and conservatives’ only takeaway from this is to get mad.

I'll bite! "Natural Disaster Insurance for All" is decidedly not the answer! Such a program would be wasteful, duplicative and ineffective in achieving wildfire risk reduction. (THREAD)
Kainoa Lowman@klowmn
Property insurers are fleeing California due to wildfire risk. Could "Natural Disaster Insurance for All" be the answer? I spoke with the candidate winning over voters with this idea—and with her critics—for @monthly. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/07/13/jan…
