Suburban Sprawl costs 38% more public money upfront & 10% more ongoing public cost than compact infill growth, with only 1/10th the created tax revenue, according to the report discussed in this @CityLab article.

“If you want a conversation about avoiding future municipal tax increases, that’s the only way you can do it…Suburban sprawl is an incredible drain on municipal finances, & thank goodness you’ve got the inner-city and infill development to subsidize it.”

The typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/3rd of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people. #CityMakingMath

Still think drivers pay their way & people on bikes are “getting a free ride?” If commuters had to pay for their impact on society, drivers would pay 87 cents/km. People on bikes would GET 25 cents/km.

“We know factually that walking & biking are the two ways of getting around that actually save society money for each km travelled. And that’s even before we consider all the many benefits that aren’t just about money.” #CityMakingMath Me, in @DailyHiveVan dailyhive.com/vancouver/biki…
There is this false narrative, this dangerous lie, that people on bikes are somehow getting away with something, that they’re not paying their way. This isn’t just a little wrong, it’s a lot wrong.

”The plan is that each citizen riding the bike to work will receive 19 cents per km. This innovative financial scheme is aiming to bring new #Dutch cyclists to reduce road congestion.”
That’s about how much cycling saves society anyway. #CityMakingMath

1/9 @CityMakingMath There are two things that really get me about this eminently sharable @sustpro graphic. #citymakingmath
2/9 First, the data itself is pulled from a report done here in Halifax over ten years ago! #citymakingmath
3/9 No municipality has better data? None monitor the unitised costs of the services they spend billions providing? #citymakingmath
