Or even just painting curbs, since they say they'll still ticket drivers parked at painted curbs.

Disagree! I think he has the least pressure on him of any driver on the grid (except Lance). If he's good, then that's great for him. If he's bad then it confirms that no one can drive the car except Max.

If you consider it objectively, it is in Israel's (the country, not Jewish people's) self-interest to encourage diaspora Jews to feel unsafe in their home countries.

Much like the person in the picture, people like attention.

It's annoying, but it's far better attention-seeking behavior than previous outlets for that like being an edgelord or "teh penguin of d00m" type shit.

When I was an intern and first moved to the city, all I had ever known was driving to get everywhere. The suburb I grew up in didn't have any public transit other than school buses.

I think for a lot of Americans (making an assumption here), they don't even consider modes other than driving. Maybe as part of orientation you can explain the public transit options available.

Look, somebody has to tell the unwashed masses that Israel is our perfect baby who can do nothing wrong.

We should have two Waterfront Parks. Take down I-5.

I mean, if you're an AnCap and want to destroy the state and replace it with bank contracts, this is definitely the way to do it.

This is pretty unbelievable, since our local businesses are all hurting downtown, and it only seems alive when we block off vehicle traffic during special events.

Promise you these businesses would be the ones protesting if they tried to remove 12 parking spaces to replace them with a bike lane.

But yeah, I love an "activated pedestrian square" with no means of access other than driving.

shoulda been a Trans Am

 

...and the NLRB agrees with them.

Seems like Nexstar is just trying to stall out the clock until there's another Republican in the White House who can gut the NLRB.

 

The gist is that Portland drivers couldn't stop hitting crucial safety infrastructure (proving its necessity) so PBOT gave up on it.

As one of the commenters pointed out: Since a pedestrian/bike fatality costs PBOT nothing and replacing a concrete planter a car has demolished costs them more than nothing, to balance the budget they're going to go with more pedestrian deaths.

 

This is about the alleged food hall that was going to be coming to the Ritz Carlton Tower. They made a big show about how they'd be offering spots to the food carts they displaced.

Well now e-mails are bouncing and there's radio silence from everyone involved about whether there even will be a food hall anymore.

It sounds shocking, I know, but it certainly seems like the olive branch that they offered to assuage everyone's anger about the food carts they were displacing was a lie.

 

Here's the fallout from Kotek's decision to stop all tolling, as well as a history of promises made and then broken about tolling.

A couple of things I took from this article:

  • Oregon has reduced GHG emissions for most sectors except transportation
  • Tolling was part of the plan to reduce transportation emissions
  • Tolling on the I-5 Bridge will drastically reduce traffic on it, which obviates the need for more lanes
  • Only tolling on I-5 while leaving 205 free creates huge issues
  • The state was counting on tolling money for all of its projects, so car dependence is hurting car dependence, which is a small silver lining
 

He filed a police report for someone brushing his shoulder walking through the aisle and then criticizing his homeless policies.

Him not riding Max anymore has nothing to do with "violent and antisocial behavior" and everything to do with him being unwilling to face his constituents.

 

This seems to not be based on safety at all and is probably Mapps and Williams spending money PBOT doesn't have because of complaints by business owners that are not based on data.

Exactly the kind of stupid decisions I expected Mapps to make when Teddy appointed him.
