When a driver wrecks into a freeway barrier and the DOT response costs an amount of resources that could be painting fifty crosswalks, who is paying for that? Kinda looks like the cost is being passed on to the children walking to school. The problem isn't that they don't have money for safety, it's that they choose to spend it on the safety of car speeds, which costs everyone else more exposure to the hazard of speeding cars. #transportation #Oregon #Portland #orPol #ClimateArson #ZeroVision

A different, but related, type of flooding along the #Texas coast.

The Petrofuture maps are editorials on the role of petro corporations in climate change.

The vintage base maps invoke nostalgia, but nostalgia is a dead end that delays needed change, and will lead to disaster.

Unprecedented #ClimateArson!

The US federal government: still performing #ClimateArson. I'd hoped this would be stopped under Biden, but sadly not. Oh well, it's only 2024, we still have plenty of time to turn this around in 2040 or whenever, right?

The US Department of Transportation just awarded $450 million to the $1.9-billion Rose Quarter 1-5 project, which opponents have long called one of America’s most-notorious highway boondoggles.

Across the SF Bay, and with a 1956 #ShellOil base map, is Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond.
