A war on walking.
A war on biking.
A war on public transit.
A war on better cities.
But a war on cars? Hardly.
The #UrbanTruth is that #CarDependency is still the norm in far too many cities, and the #RoadLobby will do everything they can to keep it going.
Don’t buy the lie.

One of the biggest debates in cities is whether tall buildings are a good idea or a bad idea. Our own @brenttoderian.bsky.social obliterates that debate, while changing the perspective of one of the most vocal tall building opponents.

They tried their best to make the idea of having more things we want nearby, more options and choices in our cities and neighborhoods, seem like a conspiracy. But never forget what the REAL urban conspiracy has been — moving everything further away and making us car dependent. #1HourCityConspiracy

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. It’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for.
Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it.

This was our very first poster release, 6 months ago or so.
Some people really want you to be angry about, or afraid of, having more things you want closer by.
They don’t want you to think very hard about how absolutely ridiculous that is.
Good cities provide more choices. #UrbanTruth

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices?
The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.

It’s nothing to cheer about though, as the proceeds of ridiculous gas prices fuelled by irrational wars and rampant car dependency go to oil companies instead of to the public as useful carbon taxes. #UrbanTruth

I took this in while working in Riga Latvia years ago. A busy arterial road cutting off the downtown from the waterfront, and this is the way to get to the water for pedestrians. On the one hand, at least they have a “connection”…on the other hand it turns pedestrians into mole people. #WarOnWalking
