Parking quietly rules everything around us. Questioning that system and imagining and advocating for a different one was and remains a revolutionary act; Soup’s work, advocacy, and legacy will continue to change society for the better for years to come.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Someone explain this one to me.
From a NY Times story on congestion pricing: Some New Yorkers were already devising workarounds to avoid paying the new tolls. Cynthia Jones, who lives on the Upper West Side, was taking an exercise class at the studio. Her husband had dropped her off at 61st Street, one block north of the tolling zone. "I walked the rest of the way here," she said.

@dejankovacevic.bsky.social When I go to the Pens live game file vs the Canadiens it fails as soon as I scroll a little. Just FYI.

It’s widely accepted *that* less expensive housing markets see less homelessness, but this important piece shows *why*: family & friends have more space to spare worksinprogress.co/issue/why-ho...
Why housing shortages cause homelessness - Works in Progress
Why do high-cost cities have more homelessness? It's not just about rents — it’s also about the rooms friends and family can’t afford to share.
