I would add that when it costs the same to get approved a 10 unit development as it does a 100 unit development, the incentive is severely reduced to try and develop a small deal.

In the 60s–80s, we built 120k–160k homes a year in the form of duplexes, triplexes & townhomes, mostly by small builders. Since 2008? Fewer than 20k. We didn’t just lose small builders, we dismantled the ecosystem that financed them. To fix housing, we need to bring them back.

Of course Trump is taking credit for infrastructure projects funded by Biden’s Infrastructure Bill that he tried to kill when he wasn’t even in office by calling his MAGA minions in Congress….and now putting his name on signs at these projects nytimes.com/2025/09/07/us/…

Rule 47: Limit the Turn Lanes Place left-turn lanes only at intersections where undue congestion is caused by cars turning left, and make them no longer than the typical rush-hour queue. Generally, avoid the use of right turn lanes. Walkable City Rules amazon.com/Walkable-City-…

growing maintenance backlogs + declining revenues = a need to focus on maintenance instead of widening highways. we can't afford to gold plate any portions of our system anymore. Think smaller. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

On Monday, July 7, we are beginning to repave a more than half-mile stretch of the NE Weidler and Broadway couplet, a major part of a long-awaited investment in maintenance and safety improvements in the heart of the NE Broadway business district.

In a historic move, the Portland City Council has unanimously voted to increase the settlement for a group of Black homeowners and descendants of the Albina neighborhood, raising the amount from $2 million to $8.5 million. The settlement compensates individuals displaced by urban renewal projects dating back to the 1960s.
The increased settlement was proposed by Councilor Loretta Smith following an unprecedented mid-session executive meeting. Councilor Candace Avalos seconded the motion, and the council approved the agreement with full support.

The great European powers sent observers to the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-5.
They came home saying the last 40 years of technology had changed war dramatically, empowering defenders. Military planners didn’t believe them. Oops.

This will be in textbooks. Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks. At the signal, the roofs opened remotely. Dozens of drones launched directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft. And — Russia can’t produce these bombers anymore. The loss is massive. Nothing like this has ever been done before.

A long term solution to the US transit funding crisis lies in capturing the value that transit creates: the increase in local land value around frequent service. That's the key to delivering both transit and dense housing nearby.
Great @jongeeting piece, linked in first reply.
