Art Deco knew a thing or two about transforming theatres into some of the most spectacular interior spaces

Only 34% of American Jews say they feel safe being Jewish in the United States today. Imagine finding that acceptable.

Probablemente estamos viviendo hoy uno de los 10 momentos más importantes de toda la historia para la causa de la libertad en este continente. El recibimiento de Maria Corina Machado lleva ya más de 10 HORAS de recorrido con la gente en las calles.

This is the Miami Building, a landmark Art Deco residential complex located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was completed in 1936 at a cost of $90,000 and the design has been crucial in introducing a unique architectural style in the area.

I live in what is often considered one of the top 10 most rural counties in America. There used to be a trolly that ran regularly into the nearest very small "city." The rails were more direct than the modern roads, I think it was about 65 miles each way.
Light rail already did cover the massive expanse of the United States. They were called interurbans. You're deeply uneducated and also rude.

Building office parks with residential towers is easy. Building dense, walkable, fine-grianed neighborhoods that work for people across the life cycle ... this is harder. But worth the trouble!
This is a neighborhood. Latest Courtyard Urbanist proposal is a walkable, fine-grained neighborhood for ~2800 homes plus retail in Tanforan, San Bruno. Retaining Target, movie theater, and BART station. More than 1,000 homes more than current proposal, and brings count of family-friendly homes from 0-2000+. Let people have density AND protected outdoor space AND amazing public realms. Read about it in latest Substack concept proposal piece (link below)

The tech job market is bad nationally, but it's awful in California Official state data released today showed the Golden State has lost 30k tech jobs over the last year alone and is now 36k below pre-COVID levels
The US tech sector continues bleeding jobs in official data released today—overall, employment decreased by 17k last month and is down 69k over the last year That's nearly as bad as the worst of the 2024 tech-cession, and much worse than the 2022 boom or even pre-2020 norms

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

Amsterdam has built remarkable public transport and cycling infrastructure. It’s been a great learning experience and a real joy to witness it all firsthand.

If you’re Millennial or older, like me, I don’t see how you can avoid noticing that the left tends to lurch from one thing to the next, and forget what it had been saying a just few years before.
