Would be really sick if we just built super tall in America, no more expanding into farm land, no more car dependency, more parks, healthier population, more local shops thriving, just fucking imagine guys

@hybridhavoc Yes, verbatim,
"I see, the commitment to 'free speech' is just as unwavering as the commitment to "release dates."

Methinks (hopes?) they might be starting to realize how shitty this looks and maybe to defend it would be undeniable bootlicking.

"Championed as a kind of liberation, car ownership — all but mandatory in most parts of the country — has for many become a vehicle of capture and control."

Cars promised liberation. They delivered something very different.

I remember hearing somewhere that if 20 children getting gunned down doesn't make the US get rid of guns, nothing will.

Depressing, but true. I'd like to take away the 2nd amendment entirely, fuck it. Quit killing our own.

The good news here is that the local community is way ahead of Mayor Adams. That's a sign the fight against restoring this highway to its original configuration can be won.

Could the B.Q.E. Return to Six Lanes of Traffic?

Why aren't more offices being converted into apartments? Seems like a slam dunk for cities trying to become work from home hubs and stimulate their economies. Cities should incentivize this. Oh and convert their parking garages to apartments while they're at it too. #urbanism #yimby
