An absolutely insane day for @cayimby. The California legislature passed: (1) AB 2011, legalizing mixed-income multifamily in nearly all commercial areas; (2) AB 2097, effectively ending parking mandates near transit; and (3) AB 2221, which further streamlines ADU permitting.

This was a parking lot less than 10 years ago in the heart of a major American city.
Now, it's a beautiful apartment building with more than 300 homes, a grocery store, small retail spaces, & bike share, in a neighborhood that desperately needed it. We can still do great things!

There was a lot of handwringing over whether SB 9 would work with all its rules and exceptions, but a mere four months into it being law, folks are already making it work. This could soon be the standard path to homeownership in California. – at Los Angeles, CA

America doesn't have a shortage of gas.
We have a shortage of bike lanes, five minute cities, and safe pedestrian infrastructure.

I need like a big sign to shove at politicians that just says "When normal people talk about 'Affordable housing' they mean affordable market rate housing, not subsidized housing" They want buying a place to be achievable, not an apartment subsidized by government or neighbours.

Relative road wear is exponentially correlated with vehicle weight. Taxing large SUVs at 2-4 times that of a small car (like the gas tax does) doesn't make up for the damage they do.
Currently, small vehicle owners subsidize the wear and tear caused by larger vehicles.

It’s becoming clear as the science gets better every year: if no action (or even acting too slowly) is taken to immediately, drastically #ReduceEmissions, it’s likely by 2100 our society -possibly humanity itself, will collapse. What will this graph look like in even 10 yrs? 😳

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of Montgomery County Planning Board public hearings and then asked it to write a public hearing transcript of its own. Here is the first page.

40 new homes in one of the most historic & walkable neighborhoods in the country. It proves we can build well in HDs.
For fans of newly built traditional architecture & urbanism, it doesn’t get much better than this.

I made this plot to convey how humans are changing the climate. This plot shows 35,000 years. Future projections are from a SSP2-45-like trajectory.
The pink band shows the fossil fuel era, which will last just a few centuries — just a brief spark in the history of humanity.

It's good to me that this is likely the most stable and chill period the United States will experience for at least a decade politically and, climate wise, ever

so, the answer to questions like "How will you get people in Houston and Atlanta to stop driving everywhere" is "climate change will likely force most residents of those cities to leave by end of century, and those who remain may not want to live so spread out, but who knows?"
