Build homes not highways
ODOT now concedes the I-5 Rose Quarter freeway widening will cost $3.6 billion, fully eight times more than the $450 million it told the Legislature the project would cost when it was approved in 2017. www.oregon.gov/gov/policies...

My information from the frontline🇺🇦 today :

"It’s absolute hell. We’re tearing them apart, honestly, the pounding they’re taking is something we've rarely seen. We don't wait them to attack us, over a stretch of 25–35 km, we’re hitting everything in sight."

huge theft of culture, particularly from Black communities that were largely the ones bulldozed for highways

If we want more family-friendly apartments, we should talk less about mandating particular apartment sizes and focus more on how to build apartments in places families actually want to live: closer to parks and schools than to highways.
We find very clear evidence that zoning disproportionately positions high-density development, like apartments, near high-traffic, high-pollution roadways.

Across multiple datasets, we show that areas near highways are more likely zoned for multifamily buildings; opposite is true further away.

Yeah, it's kind of like government-only roads, highways, bridges, police and fire, public education, etc.

In Catalunya, where demonstrators blockaded more than 60 highways and major thoroughfares as part of today's countrywide general strike against evictions and gentrification, demonstrators also shut down television studios, interrupting a live broadcast.

This argument is distracting from the more important argument that we should be pushing more and better public transit rather than more ways to operate private vehicles. The 400 series highways are absolutely plugged with cars, and our response is always "build more highways!"

The news never brings up the important point, which is that these kids don't have safe, efficient, connected bike infrastructure to use. Nobody wants to ride a bike on streets designed like highways. They're there because it's the only direct option.
Here is the full video of what is described as "dangerous" behavior in the article. I see kids stopping at a light and then going. A few scooters on the sidewalk that then ride into what appears to be a bike lane. The only mistake these kids made was not getting driven to school by mom and dad.

3/ "Guys, the situation on the front lines is consistently fucking awful. It’s getting hard to rotate personnel because those faggots are reaching the rear and attacking any vehicles—even civilian ones—and the highways are completely littered with burning trucks and cars.

People began the day in Spain by blocking highways as part of the general strike in response to runaway gentrification and evictions.

The movement began in response to the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, a disabled 87-year-old woman, who subsequently passed away.

Rosneft has introduced fuel purchase limits at filling stations across Russia, according to authorities in Zabaykalsky Krai. The regional economic development ministry says motorists can buy up to 30 liters at urban stations and 50 liters along highways. #Russia

That won’t happen. The snow plows were protecting ICE last winter, blocking highways except for ICE, and preventing ambulances from entering Whipple.
If they don't name this year's snowplow "Abolish ICE" we're gonna have to do a general strike.

Rosneft has introduced fuel limits at all their gas stations in Russia as drone sanctions on refineries continue.

The current limit is 30L in cities and 50L on highways. Expect further rationing as more Russian refineries are hit.

The road to victory is lit with oil lamps.🔥
