How Blocking Oil and Gas From Leaving the Strait of Hormuz Ripples Around the World (Gift Article) Trade is trickling through the vital artery connecting the Persian Gulf and the world, creating an economic shock thousands of miles away.

Where oil and gas normally travel by tanker ship from the Persian Gulf. A story by @lazarogamio.bsky.social, Blacki Migliozzi and River Akira Davis 🎁 tinyurl.com/5dd83fk3 #sankey

A map of the snowpack across the western United States compared to average snowpack for this time of the year. In nearly all, large swaths of the mountain ranges have less than a third of the normal snowpack for the year. Nearly all of the Colorado River Basin has below-average snow. Snowpack is below average in every western state except for parts of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Washington.

Record heat is colliding with a snow drought across the Western United States, where snowpack accounts for much of the water supply

Welcome to Paris, the City That Said No to Cars Outgoing Mayor Anne Hidalgo leaves the city more walkable, bikable, greener and cleaner.

La victoire écrasante de @egregoire.bsky.social ce 22 mars prouve qu’une majorité de Parisiennes et de Parisiens souhaitent poursuivre les transformations urbaines profondes initiées par @annehidalgo.bsky.social ⤵️

French cities, including Paris, will vote on Sunday for their city councils & mayors.

Transformations in Paris over the past decades are astonishing (see @bloomberg.com article below!) & are the product of years of transit & bike investment, changing how people move: www.urban.org/urban-wire/h...

This map displays the dramatic surge in bicycle use across Paris over a four-year period, using vertical green arrows to represent the increase in average daily cyclists between May 2021 and May 2025. The most significant growth occurred at the Boulevard Sébastopol counter, which added over 7,000 daily riders to reach a total of 17,000. While the growth is most concentrated in the city's central core and near landmarks like Notre Dame, the presence of upward arrows throughout the city illustrates a comprehensive shift toward cycling.

And look at these increases in average daily bike counts!

This map illustrates a significant decrease in fine particulate matter across Paris between 2015 and 2024, with the most dramatic improvements concentrated along the city's densest transit corridors. Data from Airparif and IGN shows that pollution fell by as much as -17.0 µg/m3 in high-traffic areas, specifically highlighting the Peripherique Boulevard, where speed limits were reduced from 70 to 50 km/h, and the rue de Rivoli, where a surge in cycling replaced traditional vehicle traffic. While the entire metropolitan area saw a reduction of at least -2.0 µg/m^3, the deepest green "heat" zones on the map align almost well with major arterial road.

Air quality improved significantly over Anne Hidalgo's two mandates: fine particular matter concentration dropped, especially along major roads.

The Role of Historic Preservation in the Rise of New York Mega-Mansions Ultra-rich buyers are carving out mega-mansions in historic NYC neighborhoods. Also: Oslo’s new government quarter aims for openness

A screenshot of 3 3D modeled townhomes side by side. They are all rendered using a grey material, but the two on the right have a brick texture.

A detailed 3D exploded isometric diagram of a multi-story mega-mansion, resulting from the combination of two townhouses at 105 and 1017 Bank Street. The graphic highlights several features, including an excavated subcellar containing a wine cellar, gym, sauna, and media room. Above the subcellar, the kitchen and family room occupy the garden level, with the main entrance and living/dining area on the parlor floor, above. A grand spiral staircase is shown connecting all levels, replacing the two original staircases. The upper floors include a primary suite with a 2,000-plus pound bathtub and multiple secondary bedrooms. The diagram is topped by a rooftop level added during construction that features a study and a bathroom.

Come for the story and data, pls stay for the many hours spent in Blender texturing façades + building that spiral central staircase – was it very crucial, probably not

Two side-by-side neighborhood maps showing the West Village and the Upper East Side, color-coded to identify specific types of residential developments. Purple markers dot both maps and indicate single-family roll-ups, while yellow markers indicate where two or more townhomes were combined. The maps illustrate a dense concentration of these high-end combinations throughout both historic districts.

This phenomenon is concentrated in the West Village and Upper East Side of Manhattan. So are single-family rollups. In the West Village, one out of six small multifamily building has become a single-family home over the last decade.

The Rise of the Manhattan Mega-Mansion In the West Village and other historic neighborhoods, buyers are consolidating apartments and combining townhomes, a sign of New York’s allure to the ultra-rich.

We looked at where and how the ultra-rich are buying and combining two – sometimes three – adjacent townhomes to convert them into single-family housing (often featuring an elevator and a flashy central staircase.)

Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Ultra-rich buyers are consolidating New York townhouse apartments into giant single-family homes. Some are buying two, even three adjacent townhomes to build a franken-house.

Inside the Plan to Demolish and Rebuild Trump’s Washington When President Donald Trump demolished the East Wing in October, it came as a public shock. But the White House likely won’t be the last historic DC building to face a wrecking ball.

One way or another the changes coming to Southwest are going to have huge consequences for the District. Read this feature by me and @mariepastora.bsky.social on the city's past, present and possible future: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Inside the Plan to Demolish and Rebuild Trump’s Washington When President Donald Trump demolished the East Wing in October, it came as a public shock. But the White House likely won’t be the last historic DC building to face a wrecking ball.

Washington has long weighed a plan to redevelop a vast federal office enclave in SW DC.

Along comes a president willing to demolish the East Wing without warning.

Neoclassical designers sense their moment.
