It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history.
Please share it as much as you can.

New Yorkers should feel safe everywhere. That’s why we’re launching an emergency hotline for walkers stranded in unwalkable cities, trudging to brunch on the shoulder of a highway because Google maps told them it was technically possible.
Help is coming. 1-800 number pending.

This is so rad- someone living next to a bus stop in Philly programmed an old clock to let folks know when the next bus is coming.

Policy decisions like this are anti-family and anti-children.
Imagine a 20 something watching this... does this look like a life they want to live? Hell no!
Want more young people to have babies? Present them with a better vision for the future than whatever the hell this one is.
Cy-Fair ISD did away with bus routes for a large majority of the districts population to save money due to their massive shortfall last year. This is the pickup line for Anthony Middle School sped up by 225%. It’s not even the entire line. @WileyPostKHOU

"Cities are meant to stop traffic. That is their point. That is why they are there. That is why traders put outposts there, merchants put shops there, hoteliers erect inns there. Rationally one wants to have traffic *stop* there, not go *through*."

When we used to manufacture things, people cycled to work.
Now people drive 4x4s to sit in an office for eight hours.
The idea that we need 41 million motors on our roads in order to qualify as an industrial society is - quite obviously - absurd.

North Americans obsessed with stadium parking please take note – at Sydney, New South Wales

Sometimes on Google Maps little numbers show up in the middle of empty lots, as if there's a building there.
Those numbers are the addresses of buildings demolished long ago, but the lots still legally exist complete with their old outline.
Ghost numbers.

“What could possibly be causing the epidemic of loneliness? 🤔” ask people living in environments like this one and then conclude, “You know what, it must be the phones.”

Public safety is essential for everything progressives care about. People with resources or options will not stay in a place where they are or fear becoming victims of crime. If we want walkability, transit, flourishing cities or a high trust society, we need to deal with crime.

Things can be so much better. We’ve given so much of our precious streets, our channels of life and vitality, over to cars and traffic and fumes and noise and fear. The moment we decide to take them back will be revolutionary for our society.
