It must’ve added 50 feet to his trip

Oh I didn’t know that, thanks. Well with all the drought stress, it’s going to be a hard time for oaks.

Thanks. Now I just worry if someone has a gun. Crazy that that’s something we have to worry about.

“Drive until you qualify” (rent/mortgage) means people accept that they have to drive/bus/bike “X miles/Y minutes” to downtown. So that’s their travel limit Because of minimum lot sizes, you generally get people of similar incomes/classes within a wedge pointing to downtown This is all by design

The motorist drove around the block and rolled down his passenger side window as he passed me and yelled “FUCK YOU!” as he drove by. 2/2

Urbanism is… I just blocked a motorist in a white Subaru from a closed road under construction (44th & France). He was trying to drive his car on the walk/bike path. If I didn’t physically block him he would’ve continued. (A man and his daughters on bikes couldn’t believe what was happening.) 1/2

Not oak trees now. Ugh

Started a new urbanism channel on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@UrbanLou First episode is about how Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo built an equitable & sustainable Olympics that also benefits residents. Working on a series about “What Urbanists Don’t Talk About”. (Forgive the terrible name & logo haha)
