I love walking in America. I prefer my sidewalks to be a bit more natural and the mega big cars blow the trash away from you. 👏🙏

Nothing makes me smile more on the road than seeing pedestrians assert their rights to cross safely at crosswalks.

Urban is HOW people live, not simply where they live It means living locally, engaging in direct experiences, and becoming part of the social fabric

We need more walkability maps in public spaces! I was pleasantly surprised to find this one in my neighborhood—showing transit and public attractions within a 15-30 minute walk. mapping distance in time is better for making cities more intuitive and accessible

I wish more American land developers understood this strategy back in the 1900s instead of building American cities for cars instead of people. Maybe we'll figure it out this century. It's hard for me to want to live anywhere outside of NYC because an urban pedestrian lifestyle isn't really possible anywhere else today in America.

Can't believe we fumbled covid dining sheds so badly. The diversity of style, the takeover of the pavements, the reclamation of the streets. Felt so joyfully human. Yes, they weren't perfect. Unsafe, nor as hygienic, and noisy to neighbours. But just to go straight back to boring rivers of cars. Booooo
