The Miser Plan (miserplan.carrd.co)

Not sure how many people follow Miser but he's been a big influence on pushing for change in the NYC area. Apparently Mamdani asked him to come up with a plan to make the city's streets better and this is what he came up with. Pretty incredible work and I hope it can be implemented!

But I'd like to see people pushing for this in every city, not just NYC. If you haven't already connected with local urbanist activists, I highly encourage it. I've been surprised how few people it takes to make an impact. If you're not sure where to start, check to see if your area has a local strong towns chapter.

Excellent. I love walking places. I'd ride a bike more but it's just not safe.

Walking around park slope is so much more fun than driving. And then I stop in to shops because it's easy, and I don't have to worry about parking.
