If more room is made for safety, something else often shrinks: parking, turning space, lane width, speed, or convenience. Drivers experience that as a loss. While vulnerable road users experience the lack of protection as a threat to life.

I have a new #urbanism enemy: bag policies at venues. Sorry not all of us travel with a giant lock box where we can leave our belongings
(Let alone those who have medical needs that don’t fit into a small clutch/purse, though at least some venues are willing to accommodate that with prior […]

A rendering of a planned new intersection. Two green lines drawn on top of it shows the distance you have to travel if you use the bicycle path. Two red lines shows the same travel by car, which is much shorter.
Does this tool exist?
A map where you plot in a "from" and "to" point and it gives you the distance in two different ways: One for the distance you have to travel by car, and one for the distance traveled by foot?

In amazing transit news: Seattle opened the new extension of their light rail that connects the Bellevue line to the rest of the system
The timing is excellent, as thousands of commuters can now avoid spiking gas prices and ride in style

If you’re going downtown today for the protest in Corvallis, consider taking the bus
It’s free and you avoid having to try and find parking on a very busy day

This isn’t fate. It’s policy: federal retreat, exclusionary zoning, financialization, and costs shifted onto cities least able to pay.

The Canadian Urban Condition: From Promise to Policy Failure —and Back. For decades, Canada treated its cities like ATMs and battlegrounds— without giving them the tools to build. The result is a housing crisis we can see from every park encampment to every impossible lease renewal. This essay lays out what a serious city‑building agenda would require: real supply, rebuilt non‑market housing, zoning reform near transit, and fiscal tools that match responsibilities. Would value your perspective from the ground. If you want honest, practical urbanism — minus the spin — subscribe and share. Policy follows pressure. urbanism, housing policy, Canada, homelessness, zoning, transit, political economy, non-market housing, fiscal federalism, land value tax #Urbanism #CanadaHousing #HousingPolicy #Transit #ZoningReform #Homelessness #CityBuilding #Affordability #NonMarketHousing #LandValueTax
Canada’s urban promise is fraying by design — housing, zoning, and a politics that rewards scarcity. We wrote how we got here and how we get out.

this quote is so very much City of Vancouver:
“I don’t mind them shovelling people in here if they provide services,” which isn’t happening, he observes. “The city loves densification, but they don’t like fixing anything.” […]
I rode to the bank (the WF in the center of the pic). Some guy was all irate that there is nowhere to park. All those red squares are garages with 60 minute free parking.
34% of downtown Riverside CA is off street parking. If you can't find parking, you aren't looking.

To slow down rising gas prices, reduce consumption.
US cities should get congestion pricing in all transit footprints ASAP #urbanism
A city tells the truth about itself through its design. If the safest way to move through it requires a car, then freedom has been quietly tied to income and ability.
