Yes. It’s brilliant. And magnetic.

Not upzoning near this park is the equivalent of running rail in a highway median. Your design choice effectively sets a glass ceiling on community use/benefit. Highway rail is mostly limited to commuting and the mega park to occasional visits. Go big, people.

This is correct. The forever challenge.

First time in Houston. THIS TOWN CANNOT BE REAL.

the best way for California to tax the rich is to simply abolish prop 13

Fat check: True.

Yeah, but we were smart and paid down a bunch of debt during the good times instead of cutting taxes, so we’ve go some fiscal firepower in reserve.

Americans: This proposed duplex will destroy the fabric of the neighborhood and broader human civilization. Also Americans: This double-decker highway will be sustainable and iconic!

DC runs a consolidated RFP for a group of federal and local programs that support affordable housing production and preservation. This is the list of the controlling laws and regulations. Yikes.

Aren’t export tariffs, like, literally prohibited by the constitution?

Brits know how dumb it is to call it maths, right?

Indeed.

3/2 The real impact of driving is congestion, which is non-linear. When and where you drive matters immensely. A VMT charge that accounts for time and location is the optimal replacement for a gas tax. (Note: The system doesn’t need to broadcast out to charge you based on time & location.)

2/2 GPS is passive. Your phone is not. This is because your cell carrier has to know where you are route incoming data/calls. A car’s VMT charging system would not broadcast out in real time (could be done monthly when connected to your home WiFi). @mikemadowitz.bsky.social

1/2 EVs, like all vehicles, should pay for their use. The operative word is *use*. A fee is a property tax, which decouples the vehicle from its impacts. The real solution is charging for VMT based on location and time of day. This can be done without tracking because GPS is a passive technology.

3/3 This isn’t a debate about human drivers, who are wildly dangerous. The issue is how best to transition to a safer future. Is a taxi with no steering wheel the answer? Maybe. Regardless, regulation is the legal mechanism, but not the issue. And so we should drop this framing.

2/2 The answer: maybe. But the outcome doesn’t hinge on “regulation.” It hinges on demonstrating to an extremely high degree of certainty that riders won’t be put at risk or stuck.

1/2 A problem we have in public policy is that we use the word ‘regulation’ in a way that obscures the actual fight/issue. The issues isn’t regulation; the issue is safety. Can a car without a steering wheel be safe given everything that can and does go wrong put in the real world?
