They say “We can’t do that. We’re not #Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that the cities we admire made CHOICES. And they’re still making choices TODAY. They make more tired excuses. You don’t accept them either.

@BrentToderian I have never enjoyed being in a city as much as I enjoyed amsterdam. The public transit was fantastic and just walking around the city was amazing.
Apparently the netherlands has 1.3 bicycles per person.
I also found out that the netherlands made a mandate of road types so that roads are consistent and you don't get the weird half highway half not roads with 6 lanes but full of people turning in and out of driveways while everyone's trying to go 65.
