I hate cars. I hate that everything is designed around them. I hate the noise, the pollution, the death, the oil wars. I hate that so many people need them. I hate that it's so hard for so many to imagine another way.

I feel like when you ask leftists what their dream job under socialism would be, you get a lot of "flower whisperer" or "horse mane braider", not a lot of "high-transmission power line layer" or "train operator", and that's a shame.

A lot of the comments/QTs are skipping right over the most important quote: "In any given week we might have 200-300 homes available. We get about 10,000 inquiries a week."
It doesn't really matter if one landlord or 200 have this kind of power over limited supply.

she never drove a car.

we don't actually have to accept expensive, low density, inaccessible housing for the sake of coddling architecture snobs
As these new rowhomes in Brooklyn prove, we can build as well as we ever have!
Few models are better for gentle density than these rows. They can as easily be a single family home as a 6 unit apartment building, responsive to the needs of a community!

was thinking about how exclusionary zoning is best understood as a legal way of creating "poor people containment zones," then saw this 10 mins later:
YIMBYISM has a sole actual goal and sometimes they'll admit it if pressed:
Moving poor people into rich and middle income areas.
It's essentially the same thing as their beliefs about bussing, corporate equity, affirmative action, etc. The idea continually is that bad...

Anticipated CP revenue was funding the last ~year of 2020-2024 plan. Without it, projects at the end of the plan must be moved into 2025-2029 plan if a new $15B source isn't ID'd. Anything not essential will be delayed by at LEAST 5 years, if not forever. 🧵
