New boss same as the old boss
Always on brand!
I had no idea how anti-urban she is until she ran for Mayor. What a disaster.
Yes
Amsterdam street completely jammed with colourful cars
Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.
Aging is a privilege.

Streetsblog New York @StreetsblogNYC X.com NEW: NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams + City Hall are colluding to kill a long-awaited bill to ban parking near all intersections for better visibility — a dramatic, lame-duck gambit that advocates blasted as an egregious form of political gamesmanship.
It’s funny how a lot of folks were worried that Zohran was the Trojan horse YIMBY candidate who would have a anti-urbanist heel turn but it actually ended up being Adrienne Adams
I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment.
There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.
Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

And yet it’s ridiculous that we still have to make this argument over and over and over again.
Here’s a suggestion for an enterprising Dem with national aspirations: start talking about how Trump is cooked, and everyone should start thinking about what comes after.
He’s a pedophile with dementia running 18th century tariff policy in the most corrupt administration in history. We can win.
This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.
The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!
Zak and I coded over 900 upzoning requests introduced in Chicago to analyze how home builders responded to the city’s parking reform (part of the Connected Communities ordinance)
Guess what: they responded by building less car parking 👏
She’s being “groomed” to lie for Trump and get a pardon.
Agree. I was not a fan at all but she seems to have found her footing, at least on some issues. And she handles Trump the right way.
Mamdani needs to give a speech like Obama’s, I’m not anti war, I am anti dumb wars that achieve nothing but heartache and wasted resources. I’m for community safety. And the vast majority of the NYPD and the public are for that as well.
Good. Even those with the best of intentions need pressure to continue on the hard but right path.
Classic case of doing things in reverse … instead of laying the groundwork for material change, make an announcement and then do as little as possible to bring people along.
Oooh you got him now! 🙄
Save shaker lakes
Sunday coming on Monday vibes.
But he’ll try again in the general! 😂
Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.
We need him in NYC as First Deputy Mayor working for Mamdani. He’s going to need experienced people he can trust.
Her role is to take black votes away from Cuomo, not to win. Not sure if that’s gonna happen either tho.
Dayum. He is good at retail politics. I’ll give him that.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
