New for those of you who are Nebulized: it’s been asserted that owning and operating a car consumes 25% of your waking hours. I went in search of the truth, including the cities where it’s not remotely close to that, and cities where it’s horrifically worse. Watch at your peril

I already knew that many of our worst urban freeways were intentionally driven through Black neighborhoods — but this week I learned that some of them were later renamed for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pretty revolting stuff.

If you ever wonder how difficult it is to get (and maintain) a driver’s license in the US, the answer is…not very?

In the year of our lord 2024, we’re STILL allowing people to drive and park their cars on one of the busiest pedestrian streets on the west coast. Just crazy-pill level stuff

Is it really too much to ask that elected officials actually understand how traffic dynamics and induced travel work if they’re going to be making billion dollar decisions about it

I’m just gonna say it — there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being taken hostage in a botched bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973

Begging urbanists to stop using the term “induced demand” as if it’s some sort of checkmate. Inducing demand is exactly what pro-growth/business people want. Talk about induced traffic or induced congestion instead

Another city closed a bunch of roads in its central business district to cars and destroyed local commerce. When will we ever learn?

Someone said this graphic from today’s video is misleading because it uses population as a denominator instead of VMT. I disagree. The fact that we drive so much is one of the major components of our nation’s abysmal transpo safety record, not a mitigating factor. Sheesh
