Every city has a bunch of municipal parking lots that should no longer be parking lots.

We're using City-owned land to build the affordable homes New Yorkers need.

Don't forget that the cranky Radon Abatement has our tape release tomorrow at Visible Records, playing with Added Dimensions and Ear Infection. Gonna be a barnburner. I will be heavily drugged and iced up, and DJing between sets. E-par-TAY, motherlovers. Ladies and gentlemen... Grace Jones.

Why have “boarding” at all? Just let people on and check tickets once you’re underway. It’s just a train

Why does Amtrak do train boarding in a such a weird and inefficient way?

Being in a band is the best fun. Seeing other bands play is a close second. Come see us on Friday if you’re in the neighborhood. We’ll have tapes for sale (and shirts and maybe posters). Guaranteed good time and sick tunes ❤️

Growth is good. It’s what built your home.

When urbanists take pictures of a Paris street (like Rue de Rivoli) showing all the people on bikes now taking advantage of protected infrastructure, it’s not just because we “like bikes.” It’s because we’re picturing the gridlock if they were driving cars. And the public cost, pollution, noise…

A motorist in Amsterdam was pulled over for being a public noise nuisance with his car. Noise measurement tests were done and the car was found to be in violation. The driver had to continue his journey on foot and the car is not allowed on public infrastructure until the exhaust is properly muffled

general elections are community input

what's really funny is when they go through multiple cycles of community input until they get to the layer that tells them "no," and then that's the one that counts as the community

These edibles worked! My brain is going overboard thinking of things to poast and then pondering them a moment further and realizing they’re actually really stupid ideas I should keep to myself

NYC’s small business owners have said it over and over: endless paperwork and uncertainty has made getting their stores up and running too difficult. So we’re cutting red tape, eliminating redundant permits (did you know you need a permit just to serve some ice cream?), and speeding up inspections.

Can’t tell if something smells bad in here or if ‘twere I what dealt it

What’s this? A refreshing breeze? Inconceivable.

this shot is so bleak lmao

France right now:

The French don’t look like they care about third place. Relatable! Anyway i hope everyone’s having fun

Heat dome, smoke event, and now thunderstorms. INDOORS is really taking the W today

Begging US grocery chains to figure out how to make smaller stores work in urban (even suburban) situations. The stores are too damn big and too spread out.

Hey, urbanists, has anyone done a starter pack of Black urbanists? Urbanists of color? I have not found one. I could get one started but do not want to duplicate efforts.

Flyer for the upcoming Radon Abatement tape release show is here. Excellently risographed by our own @joshkrahn.bsky.social. Added Dimensions rule & will play as will local heavies Ear Infection (some of the best musicians in town) including @gorgonparis.bsky.social. Will be a good one!
