Don’t tell anyone, but it is possible to never be in traffic in LA 👋✌️
The answer to the first two questions is the same: prioritizing auto centric streets and communities over people.
“Why don't we have beautiful cities like Paris? Why don't we have safe cities like Copenhagen? Why aren't we clean like Tokyo? It's not too much to ask?” @JesseBWatters praises Trump's executive order aimed at clearing homeless encampments on @TheFive
If you cant turn this around in your driveway, the entire neighborhood will burn down. The choice is yours.
I never knew just advocating for walkable communities can incite such rage.

A slow daily diesel train between Minneapolis and Chicago sees 100,000 more riders than it was projected to see when it opened a year ago, and you all want to tell me there’s no demand for fast and frequent trains in this country lol.

U.S. highways were built as “economic development” tools while destroying the very neighborhoods that could have brought economic development.
I’ll have to ask my bank for a refund on all the interest I’ve paid on my mortgage then. What antisemitic nonsense.
Jews don’t have to pay interest on bank loans in America but everyone else does. I’m dead serious.
