If everyone on NYC mass transit switched to driving: ~1.28B trips/yr → 24/7 gridlock. Drivers already waste $9.5k/yr sitting in traffic (~$15k in Manhattan). Transit isn’t subsidized by drivers, transit is the only thing that makes driving possible. 🚇🚗💸

More Green NIMBYism. Stop voting for these rank hypocrites

Inner West Greens are hosting a meeting to “force a grassroots planning process” on a DA to replace ten $3m houses with 156 apartments near the new Dulwich Hill Metro station.

I fear next week's Twitter cabbie meltdown over Oxford Street's pedestrianisation will be apocalyptic. In 3 months' time, no one will care and will wonder why it wasn't done years ago Remember the outrage when they removed cars from Trafalgar Square? Aldwych? Now, no one cares

Deregulate quantity, not quality.

The way NIMBYs throw the word "deregulation" around you'd think the main fight in housing was over bringing back asbestos insulation instead of whether a single-family homeowner should be able to build an apartment building under a basically otherwise unchanged regulatory regime

So motorists talk about the disabled and their need for parking 🅿️. Fair enough although would be great if able bodied people didn’t steal their parking spaces

A minor (maybe left wing) Fusion Party, seem to make mostly good arguments on FB and seem to be more sophisticated and articulate than the greens or the socialists (Squatters party) m.facebook.com/groups/987259…?

If you’re a member of the Liberal party you should write to your MPs to ask what’s going on here. Adding apartment buildings around the three(!) new Metro stations in the Drummoyne electorate shows “contempt” for it apparently.

basically the LNP/On campaign especially where they get outraged about debt and if they keep their promises (which they won’t as it will be impossible to repay debt with their tax cuts and spending promises) facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=…

Hopefully this is the start of a lot pf sensible and much needed upgrades to the existing rail network. Much of which was neglected under the previous government

A reminder that Sydney's just opened secondary airport is beating Melbourne Airport on PT access to surrounding suburbs. More, including a plan to better connect Melbourne Airport, here: melbourneontransit.blogspot.… #springst

Local councils are excessively obstructionist. 95% of refusals that are appealed are overturned. "Local control" is code for stopping new homes. smh.com.au/national/nsw/the-…

The developers, the courtrooms and the battle over what gets built in Sydney

Developers are increasingly turning to legal appeals to overturn council planning decisions and a record number of NSW development appeals are being finalised in court.

Calling a corrugated iron shed in a Geelong sheep paddock a 'competing international airport' is elite levels of Melbourne cope

Western Sydney International Airport, Day One. Most of the developed world and the Anglosphere in particular have lost the ability to build mega projects. May Australia never fall into that degrowth trap.
