The military-industrial complex’s greatest crime is this land use. https://t.co/A65WHelfe7 — PolitiTweet.org

@itsmercadante I don’t know anything about it in detail, but it’s hard to imagine there’s a large downside to requiring it. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t spend hundreds of millions of dollars to accomplish something every sleepaway camp counselor has solved with a chore wheel. https://t.co/rBmv1CYN5O — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
We need to reshape the transit spending landscape to have exactly that same structural feature money goes in —> ridership comes out. It shouldn’t be a makework jobs program or an architectural showcase. Invest in “good enough” infrastructure that’s useful! — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Why focus on transit waste rather than overspending on highways? Well note that when urbanists complain about highway spending they’re normally conceding that the spending is effective at generating more driving — they just don’t like that goal. https://t.co/sxCCBX2WYh — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This is why I think a useful reset would be to create clearer and less equivocal criteria for evaluating grants — when a pot of money is being divided up, priority should go to proposals that generate large ridership/dollar. https://t.co/z0tRpu1oU0 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Of course when you actually are investing in new service you genuinely do need to build stations. But this same mentality carries over — useful projects are bundled with unnecessarily large and expensive station structures. https://t.co/TdQyAmckbl — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
They very openly propose large, expensive construction projects that don’t let trains go faster or more frequently or to new places. https://t.co/VN6gkfGlWI — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
You see in a big range of contexts that American officials have a predilection for investing in train-related buildings that don’t have any particular transportation function. https://t.co/v1NQEruCP7 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The Transit Costs Project — @ericgoldwyn, @alon_levy, & @elifensari — has come up with a lot of nuanced insights to improve American civil engineering. But there’s also one pretty simple takeaway: Stop building huge stations for no good reason! https://t.co/SUBRoQxpUS — PolitiTweet.org

This is why all jurisdictions require license plates and have speed limits — these are uncontroversial ideas! All that’s at issue is the shift to more reliance on automated traffic enforcement (a good idea!) has created a need to tighten up on the license plates rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I just want to clarify that despite the high visibility this platform invariably provides to unhinged people, the feedback on these posts has mostly been positive — most believe license plates should be required, speeders should get tickets, and fines should be enforced. — PolitiTweet.org

You reach a certain point and you literally have nothing to say to guys who can’t debate speed bumps vs road diets. If you don’t know how to report a parking violation to 311, that conversation is 15 mins max. Losers who still think congestion pricing is regressive? Drop ’em. — PolitiTweet.org

The Roald Dahl thing is absurd and also has an actual policy solution — works should enter the public domain sooner so that nobody is empowered to definitively withdraw old things from circulation but everyone is empowered to modify or remix them. — PolitiTweet.org
