In NYC, most street space isn’t for people, it’s for cars. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Why is a $4 hot dog suddenly $14 inside a stadium? The answer explains a lot more than just ballpark prices.

There’s a tree in Brazil so BIG people thought it was an entire forest. But it’s actually just one tree.

Tokyo’s city center is some of its least dense land. That’s the opposite of how modern cities are supposed to work.

Two places. Same geography. Same people. Completely different outcomes. The reason might surprise you.

This place had 30x the density of the world’s densest city. And it existed within a single city block.

What if iconic places like the Pantheon or the Louvre had to follow U.S. parking laws?

There’s a metric that predicts where crime increases… and it’s not what most people think.

New York made one small change… and traffic dropped almost overnight. The results are hard to ignore.

Where did everyone park when tens of thousands went to the Colosseum? The answer says a lot about how cities used to work.

San Francisco nearly spent $1.7 million on a single public toilet. The strange part isn’t the toilet, it’s why it cost that much.

TVs, phones, and gadgets keep getting cheaper. Housing, healthcare, and education keep getting more expensive. How did our economy get this backwards?

California started planning high-speed rail almost 30 years ago. The tracks still aren’t finished. The reason might surprise you.

Some of the cheapest housing options in American cities… were made illegal. The reason why might surprise you.

Engineers planned a dam for years. Beavers built one in weeks. The story behind this is wild.

39,000 people in one Tennessee county had to drive 2 hours just to see a doctor. A hospital tried to fix it… but something strange happened.

Which arguments ACTUALLY change people’s minds about housing? Last year I worked with researchers testing different messages, and the results were... surprising! New video on it: youtube.com/watch?v=aCKr... Enjoyed working with @cselmendorf.bsky.social @jkalla.bsky.social @dbroockman.bsky.social
