Paul Krugman reveals why New York is defying expectations, achieving remarkable success! He argues NYC’s crime has fallen sharply, immigration is powering growth, and congestion pricing is paying off—while affordability remains the toughest test. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/not #NewYork #UrbanPlanning #Affordability #Economics Great analysis from Krugman.

What a perfect example of when densification works.

Being able to age in place and help solve the housing crisis and the loneliness crisis at the same time. It brings us back to the days when communities really were this local.

Thanks to the Munster Express for printing my recent article about Solving Waterford's Traffic Problems!

In recent days and weeks, many in local media and on social media have been highlighting the horrible traffic congestion faced by those living in and around our city. Alongside these many complaints, some have highlighted supposed ‘solutions’ to the gridlock - conservative suggestions, which ultimately include even more lanes for traffic and additional parking spaces. There is a better alternative, which is actually based on best-practice in urban planning across Europe; reducing the number of cars on the road by providing additional transport options and by planning for medium-density, mixed-use buildings, which can build thriving, walkable communities. The traffic congestion in a city like Waterford is not normal. Nor is it normal in Galway, nor in Dublin. This is caused, simply, by too many people driving. And that is due, in part, to a lack of freedom to choose how we want to travel safely and efficiently. I am one such example; despite never once driving anywhere else I've lived, preferring to cycle or use public transport, my life in Waterford is dominated by driving, due to a lack of safe and segregated bike paths, severe urban sprawl, and abysmal public transport for a city the size of Waterford. Our lack of public transport infrastructure in our cities makes Ireland the clear outlier among European countries. Many similarly-populated cities across our continent have at least one tram line, and a large number of bus routes - with some providing 24-hour coverage.

Halifax's rail cut: The century-old project that ruins your daily commute
The peninsula's peculiar road layout is not the result of confused urban planners, but the result of a massive and disruptive engineering project from over a century ago.

Clickbate title award goes to, CBC Halifax!

Ah yes, the rail line, that used to be double tracked, used to have all day intercity commuter train service, could have daily commuter rail service again, except our Province is stupid.

BUT SURE, let's go with oh yes this is totally why traffic if shitty in Halifax! 🙄🙃

Sometimes North America's car culture really f*cking burns me.

F*ck you CBC, you know better.

I guess nobody could think of any objections. Trees can be a noise barrier as well as the "green" benefits.

Next was "Liberty's Grid" by Amir Alexander, who reviews the historical forces that led to the widespread default of using grids at different scales of land development in the US. This book shows how Thomas Jefferson's bizarre fascination with Cartesian coordinates drove him to impose a farm-centric, gridded-vision of development in the American West and urban development

Update, I've added enough algorithms to my Sidewalk Priority Toolkit for in an initial release and tested it now with the QGIS model builder:

Successfully created a model which took several custom layers for a city and then was able to generate a heatmap which could factor in walk potential (demand) and other metrics like already traffic-calmed locations and demographic data like percentage of car ownership in the area.
