I'm pretty far left, but every time someone makes the argument that substance users in the subway have no impact on the people around them (except an "aesthetic" one, sorry) I get nudged a tiny bit toward the right

If you want to make a compelling argument for getting drug users off of public transit, make one that centers the interests and priorities of the users, who are the only "victims" of their activities. Stop focusing on the aesthetic preferences of other riders.

The daily drumbeat in the UK/Ireland NYC Tourists FB group: person asks “is the subway safe? I heard I’ll get stabbed” and 40 people reply “actually we were visiting from Twatfield and a lad wearing a ‘fuck you and your mom’ hoodie helped my gran down the stairs at Times Square”

It's always funny that some people think the New York City subway is some kind of hellscape, whereas in reality yesterday the older man next to me politely asked for help in correcting the time settings of his Apple Watch.

This guy lived in his house in a deserted neighborhood for TEN YEARS after all the other houses nearby were demolished pending development, and declined a house swap with a $500,000 move-out bonus. Idk but seems like some of this is on him

A Florida man who refused to sell his home to a developer now lives in the shadows

Orlando Capote has been engaged in a two-decade struggle against developers and the city of Coral Gables to save his family's home. But his success comes with a price.

Great! Since you’ve got the flatbed out anyway, could you take care of these illegally parked vehicles too?

I probably would have died at 0:24 when the guy had to jerk to the right to avoid being hit. I don’t think I could have reacted fast enough there. A traffic violation is not a capital offense. Evading an officer trying to stop you is not a capital offense.

Riding a bike in the city gives you a different kind of intimacy with your environment that you get from walking, because in addition to everything that a person on foot experiences, you also have a view of the city as a network. Example: 1/

Delete your own, mooks. You want to send me a straight speeding ticket, I pay without comment. You send me one invoking a school-zone violation, I am going to rightly note the fact that no school is operant on the date and time. In my city, we employ that statute judiciously.

@RobD2020 @maxdubler LA wasn’t built around rail so it will never be economical to build rail. It will always be a money losing system that drains society of resources. I’m referring to political decisions related to infrastructure projects (not regulations) like “we are going to buy all American”…

Street cleaning day, San Francisco. Traffic agents one block ahead of the street cleaner, getting every occupied car to move and summonsing 100% of parked cars. The city functions because the city government imposes consequences on people who obstruct it.
