If you spend some time in the bike movement, you may notice it is 100 years old. It is sobering to consider how little progress has been made in 100 years. It’s not that we are wrong, we just need more and better memes. Follow @urbantruth.bsky.social to sharpen your skills.

Na de zomervakantie moet de bouw van TreeHouse starten pal naast Rotterdam Centraal. Als je hier een appartement weet te bemachtigen aan de noordkant van de toren zie je de Eurostar naar Parijs en Londen pal voor je huis langs komen! De toren wordt ongeveer 130m hoog en is een mooie verdere verdichting van het stationsgebied waar de komende jaren nog veel meer torens komen. Beeld is van ontwikkelaar Provast. Architect is PLP Architecture. #rotterdam #construction #yimby #skyscraper #skyline

Duolingo creator:

"I went to school in Guatemala. I went to the school where basically all of the kids of the rich people go. Or like the kids of ambassadors and everything.

"Even though I was not rich, I received the education of a rich person, and that made me see things differently.

"This really changed my view in terms of what education is. A lot of people, when they talk about education, they're like, 'Oh, it's the thing that can bring social classes together.' I always saw it as the opposite. I mean, generally, wealthy people can get themselves a much better education."

You could argue all you want that housing is not a right.

Let's say I agree. Perhaps housing is not a right.

But a hill that I will die on is that one's ability to provide housing is a fundamental human right.

Good. Scott Weiner is a YIMBY real estate shill and ought to be unendorsed, unelected, and mercilessly mocked.
