Exactly. Over their lifespans, EVs contribute almost as much to climate change as gas vehicles.

If Biden would commit to nominating Janette Sadik-Khan for DOT Secretary, I would be out knocking on doors tomorrow.

Thousands of white guys storm state capitols with guns and somehow they're "patriots." But two Black football players take a knee to peacefully protest disproportionate police brutality and they are a threat to all democracy.

Housing friends! What are your favorite books about gentrification, land use, or cities that *aren't* written by white men?

As part of earning a graduate degree, every architect, urban planner, and urban designer should be expected to spend at least a day or two shadowing someone with a significant mobility impairment.

People complain about empty buses (usually only those who have never been on transit) but no one seems to complain about all those overbuilt empty parking lots that litter our landscape.

“But if this wealth gap is the result of discriminatory design, could the systems that uphold it be redesigned to support black prosperity?” Great work by @prosperitynow fastcompany.com/90349324/can…

Can cities design policies to shrink the racial wealth gap?

The systems that have kept black families from building wealth in the U.S. were designed to do so. A series of initiatives are trying to build new systems that support equity and empowerment instead.

Literally 100% of the Americans currently roaring with laughter about traumatic sexual assault are seven weeks away from having a meltdown if it doesn’t say CHRISTMAS on the coffee cup.

AVs aren’t sexy. You know what is sexy? Streets designed to work for everyone. In checking out the future of mobility, we can’t turn our backs on the fundamentals of great cities. #NACTO18
