People should be out in the #streets with torches for this particular $vision of Jeffrey „Blue Origin was founded by Jeff Bezos with the vision of enabling a future where millions of people are living and working in space to benefit Earth.“
It is real estate 101. Those living and working in space will benefit Jeff Bezos’ descending plutocracy. They will be the only ones who will afford Earth. We are sick for not going out of our way to topple this vision. It is one of the most deranged visions that were ever spelled

Jane Jacobs talked about the ballet of the street. Lil Wayne exposed the mean side of the streets. Prince wanted to woo women in his daddy’s Thunderbird on Alphabet Street.
Bruce Springsteen lamented young men scattered like leaves on street corners. And today, #feminists, #housing #justice activists, and climate crisis heroes use streets as sites for progressive protests.
Streets are at once referred to as “hot,” “mean” and “complete,” as economic engines and social. They are a locus for community, collective memory, democracy and joy. It is where the unexpected delights of public life unfold.

I've had some time to digest the recently-released Leicester City Street Design Guide, thread 1/: #leicester #cycleinfra #streets leicester.gov.uk/media/186708/l…
