Here in Portland, I believe that the only streets we have with three lanes of traffic in one direction are state highways. Many of our city streets that had 2 lanes in each direction have been reduced to 1 each way, usually with a turn lane. Part of why walking is nice here.
American cities are really cursed with an insane number of crazy wide avenues. One way the built environment of Philadelphia is superior to NYC.
@LOTR_Daily_ The Pyre of Denethor
British-inspired planning of the late 20th century is identical to American planning except the main streets are never completely straight for more than 1km and local streets are better connected. This commercial suburban node in New Zealand might as well be in the West Midlands.
I was in Westgate a while ago, and… City planners of Auckland. Please explain Westgate to me.

@streetfrontier If it has a paid driver, the size of the bus doesn’t matter. A small bus just means it will leave people behind at a lower level of demand.

Another great blast from William Hazlitt in 1817, nominally about Shakespeare’s Coriolanus but showing a fine-grained awareness of the world in 2026.
What William Hazlitt (in 1817) says about “poetry” here is really about performance of all kinds, and it seems especially timely in the US right now. (From his essay on Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, link at first reply.). @AmericanGwyn @JoshPhillipsPhD
It’s from the Coriolanus chapter in Hazlitt’s “Characters of Shakespeare’s Plays”, full text here: gutenberg.org/ebooks/5085.ht…

@atrupar 62 years ago I got a nickel for my tooth. That would be 55 cents today. $20 looks like some kind of kickback to me.

The world is full of complicated, contested questions on which it’s hard to know who’s right or who to trust. One good place to start is to tune out people who say untrue things about easily verifiable topics. slowboring.com/p/trying-to-co…

I went on a plane recently and it was a good example of there being so many warnings that the ones that really mattered were ignored. It surely doesn't really matter if you switch your phone to airplane mode. And yet that was warned with the same urgency as the power bank thing.
A KLM flight from Amsterdam to Curaçao was forced to turn around over the Atlantic on Thursday after a power bank fire. The power bank was being used by KLM´s former CEO and President, Mr. Camiel Eurlings, who was injured in the incident. "According to a passenger who was
@dilanesper Ordinary transit riders too!
@EricEatsPickles Las Vegas hotels are notoriously cheap that way. Nothing to do with this.
Your reminder that lots of people have always wanted to move to San Francisco. Soon, it will possible for more of them to do that. Expect prosperity to rise with population, confounding the folks who push doom-loop narratives about US cities.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CAPITAL OF NIMBYVILLE? Another long-stalled San Francisco tower is suddenly back: 45 stories, 480 feet and 501 apartments replacing a half-acre parking lot in SoMa. It joins a growing list of dormant housing projects waking up across the city. After
