“Because Berlin’s sprawling city limits encompass large swaths of what would be suburbs in other capitals, voters on the urban fringes cast ballots with a vengeance.”
In city-regions with CAR DEPENDENT suburbs, urbanists need to be context-specific with our talk about cars, lest we fuel backlashes.

€2.5 billion is being invested to make housing projects accessible. A large portion of this will go towards cycling infrastructure, such as continuous cycle routes. 👌

Marjorie Taylor Greene is trash. She's always been trash. She spoke at Nick Fuentes's conference and hasn't renounced him. She is a white nationalist.
I'm glad a lot of Democrats want to embrace her and absolve her, but what about the rest of us whom she continues to attack?
