most annoying thing about the free transit discourse is that i think a lot of people are pretty much on the same page but there's always one dude who expresses that point in the most loud and rude and pedantic and patronizing way possible and it just sets off such a dumb shitshow if you're a transit-loving technocratic who wishes to reshape America towards a world where buses are ubiquitous and frequent and reliable, spending time "well actually"-ing lefty folks instead of collaborating with them to mutually empower each other reflects such smug arrogance

strenuously attempting to avoid being That Guy who shitposts in a reductionist manner about cars but I think the inherently isolating nature of what our transportation/land use systems do to how we experience the built environment have significant impacts on lefty social projects rubbing shoulders with strangers on the bus, in public plazas, sharing public parks, sitting next to each other in libraries..

when policy forces us to live in detached houses and drive detatched cars, it's awfully hard to cultivate that necessary empathy.

my hot take? given this rash of needless traffic violence and the lack of progress towards our zero-traffic-fatalities-by-2025 goal, i think transportation advocates should demand that the renewal of the city's gas tax funnel a larger % of money towards safety improvements. tonight, a hit and run on division that hospitalized a six year old.

unconscionable.

Two weeks ago, ODOT released the Environmental Assessment of the RQ Freeway Expansion; the document said the widening would improve air quality, lower carbon emissions, and reduce traffic congestion.

(that's a pretty bold claim! freeways don't generally do that sort of stuff) 1/ Since that's a bold claim, the @nomorefreeways team wanted to double check ODOT's arithmetic - like a middle school math test, you only really get credit if you "show your work" and can prove you didn't fudge the numbers.

Unfortunately, the EA is missing the datasets/appendices
