Really happy to share a freshly published article that I wrote with Xiaolu Zhou examining the role of shame and stigma in the locational choices of illicit massage customers. Access to the article is totally free for 50 days. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jfqCWf-BQ06k

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €. Result: 70,000 trips/day. HT @davidlois_UNED

@kyle_e_walker it is sort of telling that at our private university, offers of free food are more effective for getting faculty to show up than students.

If students tell me they want to get a PhD, I will support them and write them a letter. But I also tell them, because no one told me at age 21-22: -- You will spend your twenties making poverty wages while your peers start getting salaries, raises, bonuses, etc.; -- You may well get into credit card debt paying your bills as a result, especially if you are doing grad school in an expensive city; -- If you get a faculty job, your salary will likely not be much more than what some of your peers got upon graduating undergrad; -- You may well be 10+ years behind your peers financially, which may not seem important at age 22 but it will be at age 32 I get that people say "but it's not about the money, it's about passion!" I thought that too. But this stuff matters a ton and students need to be aware of it.

In honor of Andre Braugher, here's one of my favorite scenes from Brooklyn 99

Glorious already.

This is gorgeous.

These maps show all the AirBnb listings in New York, London, and Paris. Regulations on short term rentals are catching up globally. I wouldn't be surprised for these cities to massively tighten restrictions. Betting on AirBnb is a super risky strategy in the long run.

@lukeranker The neighborhoods along Lancaster have been waiting for this since the late 1980’s. Truly incredible!

I wrote about this project a few years ago before I went to planning school and the fact that something is moving with it is incredible.

This is the article I've wanted to read since I started doing research in this area 8 years ago. Necessary and phenomenally written.

@beyonddc The Bea Evenson Fountain in Balboa Park is pretty amazing. sandiego.gov/digital-archiv…

If I wanted to map great urban fountains in the US, what should I include? google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

Some lovely urban architectural history about one of my favorite places in the world to start the week.

Made an honest-to-goodness map for the first time in a while! The White Mountains (of New Hampshire) in the style of a US National Park visitor map. More about it: andywoodruff.com/posts/2023/whi…

The only thing I love more than dinosaurs is how seamless and cohesive this #StoryMap by @WarrenDz is. Made me do a double take on that intro image transition.

SQL is just for managing data, right? Wrong! Check out my latest blog where I run through 5 tutorials for creating epic data visualizations & maps with SQL - like this dot density map! 👇👇👇 carto.com/blog/create-ma…
