@the_transit_guy In other, less civilized cultures, The Fatiguers would instantly turn such a resource into a graffiti wall, cottaging location, and crime central. Everybody knows this.

Meanwhile, we can't even get protected bike lanes in major American cities.

@YIMBYLAND old people suck

Anti-student NIMBYs are easily a top-3 worst type of NIMBY. No to mention this is possibly the nicest looking student housing I’ve ever seen. This project looks amazing! Brits are cooked, man.

@jasonc_nc no need to apologize

@cargofiets Yeah that's not how society works, sorry.

Pick the spot on the diagram you want, because this is the local taxpayer menu.

@Bikery1966 in absence of enforcement, it's just more room for cars

We are often asked “why don’t cyclists use cycle paths?”

@westcountrytim this is a required skill, easy to do, but fun to watch when someone doesn't know how to pull it off

Good initiative on show this morning on the Embankment cycle lane. I think he may have been getting his bike to work after a puncture.

@YIMBYLAND I have observed some people in the USA who park a Suburban or Tahoe in front of their houses (no payment required) and sort of treat it as an extension of their homes.

These ppl live in an alternate universe where putting rotting trash on the sidewalk is good and street parking is private property. I’m not sure it’s possible to reason with these folks.

@ViaTowerBridge That was personal. Carry a wrench in your jacket, take off a wing mirror. Can't go unpunished.

What the fuck was the driver thinking?

@the_transit_guy Chick-fil-A typically has automobiles triple-wrapped around their buildings. This is what is necessary to satisfy the demand.

This double-lane Chick-fil-A project in Denver, which takes up an entire city block, is zoned as an "Urban Center" for high building heights intended to promote a dense urban character. The urban character:

@the_transit_guy Disagree with the "woke" attempted insult. People in the United States don't live like this. There are endless reasons that this is true.

Everything in this video is currently considered “woke” by the new USDOT administration.

@the_transit_guy @UrbanCourtyard Pretty to think so. Will never happen.

Dense courtyard housing served by two tram lines and a subway line is something we need in North America.

@Bird78Lady @orrdavid @the_transit_guy And the train experience is frankly awful in the USA

@orrdavid @the_transit_guy Especially when there’s a plane route that’s only 90 minutes & costs less than $200.

So New York will have a $254 billion budget, but they don't have $500,000 to study high-speed rail between NYC and Toronto, a route that could take 3.5 hours instead of the 12.5 hours it currently takes by train?

@orrdavid @the_transit_guy Some people are hooked on trying to Europeanize the United States. Culturally, economically, and politically, these parts of the globe have diverged and will continue to do so. Train dreams are juvenile.

@the_transit_guy You might like trains but 3.5 hours is obviously not worth building. It would be a money furnace.

@the_transit_guy project is DOA

Connecting two metropolitan areas with a combined GDP of $1.8 trillion and 18 million people by high-speed rail in 160 minutes is far more warranted than a 503-minute daily Amtrak trip.

@WorldBollard This is the "pay attention" variant.

Perfectly done. Congratulations. #WorldBollardAssociation

@ExpoSpurs @Jenny_1884 You forgot: Most UK royals are German. Drink that in.

@Jenny_1884 Hate to tell you this but a study of British DNA testing revealed that the average Brit actually has 60% of their DNA from European ancestry and not Britain. Only 36.6% of Brits genetic makeup are Anglo-Saxon (Germanic). Your are more likely to be a 63.4% foreigner...LOL

My Grandparents were born in the UK My Parents were born in the UK Myself & Husband were born in the UK My Children were born in the UK My Grandchildren were born in the UK It’s pretty sad that now in 2025 I feel that we are no longer wanted in our own country & are now surplus to requirement Anyone else feel the same

@MattinW00lwich @jonburkeUK This, the common sense man steps in.

Absolutely zero need to fly from London to Newcastle.

@YIMBYLAND I will buy three

Want to combat exurban sprawl? Legalize these on every lot in America.

@Jenny_1884 But you have moved half of Pakistan in northern England, which is What Was Wanted. Or?

I paid into National Insurance all my working life in order to receive a pension which I was told I would receive at the age of 60yrs. This was changed to 67yrs as we were told they couldn’t afford it any longer. What really annoys me though is that they have managed to find the money for 100,000s of people to live free in Hotels all expenses paid & others claiming benefits when these people have not paid a penny into this country. This is what is not right or fair. Why should we be paying anything when others are getting everything for free This country is a joke as they should be looking after the people that pay their way & always have.

@FFP83 @g_gosden Retire "unpack". United Statesers could not find France on a globe, except the old ones who do the "Disney Tour of Europe", or some Rick Steves offering.

@g_gosden A lot to unpack here. 1. If she is trying to have a go at a “low level politician” then why try and insult everyone in France? 2. I guess she never learned how France helped America against the British? 3. By throwing insults like this, does she think that will help trade?

"It's only because of the United States of America that the French aren't speaking German right now." Unbelievable.
