I'd describe my interests as eclectic if that didn't make me seem like a bit of a tool. But if the shoe fits...

Urbansim, politics, history, cycling, football, and a whole bunch of other unhealthy obsessions.

Build more homes!

Sydney, NSW, Australia
I also like that buses stop in the traffic lane, rather than pulling into the kerb. Proveds more space for people, and helps to make clear that moving cars isn't the goal. Good use of Movement and Place, and the transport hierarchy.

In short, find ways to say yes, instead of instinctively saying no

It's not on the same scale, but Transport for NSW moved a 140 year old building 60 metres to build a much needed new concourse at Redfern station in Sydney. www.transport.nsw.gov.au/about-us/sus...
Redfern reimagined: Connecting people, preserving culture and heritage
The Redfern Station Upgrade is a significant infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the accessibility and connectivity of this important Sydney transport hub.

It would take their political masters to direct them to do it, but that then eats up loads of time and effort. That also presumes that the politicians aren't incentivised to take the same "we're the best" approach.

"I won't apologise for demanding the best for the people of [insert state]..."

I wish you were right that it wouldn't rock the boat, but every state-based regulator is convinced their way is the best. They'd happily come on board, if only everyone else would bow to their superior methods

Even worse, a lot of them aren't formally required by law, but you'll have a very hard time of it with a regulator if you don't comply with them
