While some cities still say, “That would never work here,” others are setting aside excuses and turning ambition into action—reclaiming streets, reimagining mobility, and shaping safer, more inclusive public spaces.
These are 35 cities in 20 countries we visited this year that are leading the way.🧵

A somewhat liberal interpretation, but definitely inspired by your study!
The amount of details of past life preserved in the fossil record never ceases to amaze me. Nor does the creativity and tenacity of paleontologists, working to tease out that information. What a cool study!

it rules to pivot at this point in time from metaverse to ai wearables. it's like if your 8-track tape company finally realized no one was going to want them in the age of the CD, so you changed the business model to only recording nursery rhymes on wax cylinder.
Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the ‘Metaverse’ has cost Meta more than $77B
The company now plans to cut spending on it and shift focus to AI wearables instead

A Republican Congressman, in good standing, referring to Muslims peacefully praying and exercising their 1st Amendment rights as "barbarians."
But, no criticism for Israel's genocide against Palestinians. In fact, Fine is a full-throated supporter.

The minimum wage in Portland Metro is $15.45. That’s a net of about $2600 a month, working 40 hours a week. Of course many low-wage jobs are part-time, which means stringing together several jobs and no overtime.
And that’s more than double the national minimum wage.
And that’s more than double the national minimum wage.
Nearly 2k affordable apartment units sit empty in Portland, according to data crunched by the O.
A chief reason: Rising rents have closed the gap between market rate & so-called "affordable" housing, keeping subsidized units out of reach for low-income renters.
