The proposed state budget would work with localities to allow for 50 homes per acre around train stations in NYC and within 15 miles.

But what does that average density look like? We worked with the great @alfred_twu to visualize what areas around train stations could look like.

The “smoking on trains” discourse exposed a whole lot of people who have decided that being anti-carceral means there is no social contract. I’m sorry but “people should do whatever they want without regard for others” & “there are no consequences” is not leftism, it’s solipsism.

idea: pittsburgh strings up catenary on the busways & converts the routes that use them to trolleybuses with in-motion charging

has anyone ever done the math on what current routes would be sufficiently under-wire for this to work with current IMC technology like in Dayton?

I opened to a random page--it was parking generation for adult cabarets (yes)--and found this. Two observations, a regression line with suppressed coefficients and diagnostics, but parking rates nevertheless predicted to two decimal places.
