Transit should be at forefront of any climate resiliency plan. Take snow. A bus is heavy and piloted by a trained driver; much safer in snow (or heavy rainfall) than the relatively light vehicles driven by civilians. Bus riders take vehicles off the streets, which speeds plowing, emergency response.

A eulogy for RadioShack, the panicked and half-dead retail empire
This may very well be RadioShack’s final holiday season. Jon, a former employee, looks back on a strange, craven, five thousand-fingered strip-mall monster from a forgotten age.

A snow globe broke open in one of our tubs of Xmas decorations and black mold grew over everything. Inauspicious!

1. Continuous sidewalk/bike lane, sharp entrance curb for cars entering side street.
2. "Parking lane" alternates between car parking, bike parking, bus stop, trees. It's a multi-use lane, essentially.
3. Wide bike lane + mountable curb means a stopped car is no problem for this cyclist.

if you live here, you should be able to vote here
Noncitizen voting in local elections was common during the 18th and parts of the 19th centuries and some municipalities in the U.S. have revived the practice. New York City passed a law permitting it, but this year it was struck down.

For a brief moment, it seemed some noncitizen New Yorkers may gain the right to vote locally. But with the law struck down earlier this year, they remain at the margins.
