Building affordable housing ➡️ support for funding housing. Nearby homeowners ⬆️ support; renters ⬇️ support. Both are “the policy adjacent”—secondhand recipients & drivers of policy feedback.

The @cbcny, a century-old NYC think tank, found that adopting European best-practice One Person Train Operation could save $221M/year
It would also solve MTA's labor shortage & spare workers the dehumanizing task of watching a computer drive itself (a literally fake job)

Very brave indeed for @GovKathyHochul to side with the neo-liberal out-of-town gobshites by vetoing a bill that blue collar New Yorkers (aka Voters) overwhelmingly support . It’s a futile veto though because the @transportworker Conductors are and always will be performing service delivery in the @TWULocal100’s Subway for our city’s working people. That’s a harsh truth for the bean counting anti-worker gentrifiers who think they can move from the backwaters of America to neighborhoods like Harlem and somehow achieve legitimacy by declaring it in their Twitter bios. If you @mattyglesias believe that the system is safer and better without Conductors on the train then you’re as big a fool as the college boy academics who believe they can move to Bushwick or Fort Green and then convince the world they’re from Brooklyn. @CentralLaborNYC @NYSAFLCIO

A SEPTA that doesn’t need to have an annual appeal to justify it’s existence to run shoestring service would instead be seriously considering L expansions proposed in … 1913

Is there a difference between the mean and median?

More of us need to find the courage to tell teachers to pound sand. Not one penny more — and many cases, we should pay them a lot less.

The cost of Rome's new 31-station line that travels beneath the Colosseum is slated to be about $8.3 billion. That's about the same cost as NYC's three-stop Second Avenue subway extension, which will not dig beneath ancient sites.

Detective violates consent law, officers make physical evidence inadmissible…screwup after screwup
US police officers are safer on the job and paid waaaaay more than other countries' police despite low quality
It’s not fund vs. defund. It’s why are they so bad at their job?

BREAKING: The DA has withdrawn all statements made by Luigi Mangione during interrogation. He was not made aware he was being recorded, which violates Pennsylvania’s Two Party Consent Law.

"Only" is crazy. If we reduced air pollution across the world by 22% we would save hundreds of thousands of lives from lung and hear diseases.

Interesting work — people dislike height, especially when the height differs more from the surroundings

Part of my case for Philly to specifically try and shape our CMX3 zoning rules to produce more 6-7 story buildings—the most affordable kinds of structures before you pass the threshold and trigger the Type 1 high-rise code thephiladelphiacitizen.org/?p=90277

If taller apartment buildings have higher construction costs per square foot, how can increasing density improve housing affordability? Two key points: - prices are set by supply *and* demand - density increases supply 1/🧵

@milansingh03 On a scale from 0 (very unattractive) to 1 (very attractive) (and 0.5 is neither), people rated the tall brick building 0.39 and the tall modern building 0.56.

As a bit of a counterpoint, my recent paper finds that only 2% more people support the building on the left compared to the one on the right:

Pretty buildings are good. Build pretty buildings. We should trust people when they say that want more of the left, and less of the right. And then build more of the left, and less of the right

Need to dig into both the new @zoningwonk paper, and the new @CSElmendorf & @dbroockman paper, both on "Quality In My Back Yard" politics
On a quick skim it seems all sides are right:
—Even great design can't buy extra height
—In already-tall areas, QIMBY designs help
