Gov. Hochul Vague on Free Bus Plans As Her Open Budget Salvo Nears - Streetsblog New York City
Hochul has said she would neither support a plan that would deprive the MTA of a key revenue stream — fares — nor would she raise taxes to make up for the missing swipes.

Congestion relief works – the data proves it.
The city’s leaders should stand with working New Yorkers and stand up to Washington. We can’t let out-of-touch politicians roll back the progress we’ve made.

This is a great article that lays out some of the solutions to reducing deaths and serious injuries. Part of the solution: just reducing driving overall.
I'm excited to share more soon about the work we're doing at @openplans.org on Low Traffic Neighborhoods and VMT. More to come!

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.
My dad truly believed that people just didn't have autism when he was growing up and I had to be the one to break it to him that autistic people who didn't fit in WERE PUT INTO INSTITUTIONS

Sidewalk congestion from sidewalk cafes is real. Here’s a solution: make roadway dining easier and widen sidewalks. Restaurants can flourish and people can walk - that’s much better than parking!

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
