.@NYDailyNews edit board suggests Gov Hochul likely to lose to @RidersAlliance in court, giving her cover to continue with $15 congestion pricing nydailynews.com/2024/11/12/con…

@nyc311 it smells like someone is burning a fire in Prospect Park in the woods north of the lake

@holz_bau Please post an unboxing video

Not surprisingly, the set for the idyllic town in The Gilmore Girl is much more walkable than the actual town on which it is modeled.

My favorite part of prep for our block party—closing the street off to cars

The fact that the "Beg Button" exists in so many cities is messed up. For the privilege of crossing the street, pedestrians are required to press a button, wait, and then scurry across while cars + trucks give them a few seconds of grace. Here's one I'd press in a second... 🧵

@mnolangray Books that I worked on that made me see the city in a different way: When Driving is Not an Option/Anna Zivarts, Walkable City Rules/Jeff Speck, Killed by a Traffic Engineer/Wes Marshall, Arbitrary Lines/you. Very early influential book: Experience of Place/Tony Hiss

What are the top four or so non-fiction books that have most informed how you see cities?

We're nearly a month into @GovKathyHochul's illegal congestion pricing pause. Here's a quick reminder of who would actually pay a toll. *These* are the people who matter to Governor Hochul. This is who she's willing to cancel $16.5B in new elevators and subway stations to serve.

I'm all for Kamala Harris being a Madam President but Doug should still be called Doug. "Please welcome The President of the United States and Doug" it'll be awesome

Some of my suggestions for best books on urbanism. What are your recommendations?

The pause on #CongestionPricing doesn't just mean more congested roads — it means air and noise pollution, dangerous roads, business costs, lost time, and less funding for transit. @NYDailyNews nydailynews.com/2024/07/15/nyc…
