Should transit be free? I'll let you know in my latest.

they have incredible messaging, i can’t deny than. better at making reagonite ideas look progressive than most other urbanist groups
gotta make a longer video about them someday lol
more lefebvre vids soon, that’s my goal. an evenhanded but leftist critique of jane jacobs at some point in the deep future too lol.
It was around 3% in Red Vienna and RV is my baseline
We shouldn't live our lives based on Victorian proverbs nor should we plan out a socialist future using neoliberal anti-poor policies. Where do these two things intersect? At the 30% rule - the idea that housing is affordable as long as it's under 30% of your income. youtu.be/ilVjEv91adE
thumbnail of me holding a piece of paper with a pie chart of a monthly budget showing rent as 30%. text above reads “why is rent 30% of your income?”

if you ever wanted a succinct explainer on what radical planning theory is, today is your day:

very liberal. i’m working on a few things, i hope to be posting more through the second half of the year. currently reading all of the books recommended in the Sims 1 manual and forming a critique of the relationship to work and home off of that lol
this is a lifestylist-ass website
talking about Bookchin on my patreon - just three bucks a month for exclusive monthly vids.

im a starving child starving to death and this is the very last thing i have ever read. gootbye.
pretty sure i saw jim e brown an hour ago and am still shook about it and none of my friends understand why because i didn’t tell them about my parasocial deep dive into an unknown post punk musician committed to his own bit. and he made a vid at stargazy on passyunk??

is it more vindicating or more depressing that all of the most heinous people i've coordinated with at FTA are delighted to tell us environmental justice is dead? my career has taught me that believing transit should not exist and working for a transit agency are not mutually exclusive things.
*study shows that increases in market rate development do not result in increases in affordability for low cost units*
elizabeth warren: we are going to pay developers to build more market rate units!
The neoliberals who got us to this place—whose triangulation and capitulation undermined progress for the working class—now think we should “roll over and play dead” rather than vigorously fight these fascists. I don’t know why anyone still listens to these pundits of yesterday.
solo trips to the used bookstore >>>>
do the yimby underlings notice that every one of their thought leaders is coming out against trans rights and immigration or are they ignoring what’s in front of them like always?
lot of liberals on this site who think that further restricting democracy will help them restore their world order. hate it here.
it’s an interesting theory because at the time, Friedmann was not very far left. it was a sort of logical+philosophical journey but he ended up in a place that feels very close to municipalism. if you liked the video i do recommend reading the book- he’s a very enjoyable writer.
andy you’re a star
likely!

but the contrasting group - those who don’t care about what they create and only want money…ugh it just makes me feel gross. these people can only imitate what they see and that’s so sad to me. if you’re going to take the time to make something, you should really believe in your own work.
i want to be successful on youtube for sure, but i also love making videos. i love sharing what i know with other people. i love hearing their response to it. and i’m sure these niche hobby creators feel the same way- no one can honestly say “i don’t want to make money off of these” i don’t think.
it’s kind of depressing- i don’t really understand it. like first of all, you aren’t successful on youtube so why would anyone watch this. but second, why would you ever want to create something that you don't really understand or have experience with? i’m witnessing a crisis of creativity here.
i got into a niche hobby and have been watching tons of vids by small channels on youtube. awesome to see so many creators who are making videos for the love of the hobby. but now the algo is giving me a lot of micro channels (under 500 subs) that solely discuss how to be successful on youtube.
feels so nice to be seen as useful to capitalists! keep spending! this is queer liberation!
