We tend to talk about poverty in terms of what people earn. We need to talk more about the cost of keeping a roof over their heads. This research reinforces it: reducing housing costs could lift millions out of poverty. Any serious affordability agenda must start there. www.pew.org/en/research-...

My next big project is to tabulate the total amount of public funding spent on the RHNA process and divide it by the number of units built. I highly doubt it was worth it.

20 years of NIMBY lawsuits stopping a 10km tramline expansion (Tramlijn 19 in Delft) are finally over and the line is finally opened. Had to invent a new kind of catenary system. AFAIK there is now no new rail being constructed in the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjm6...

I recently visited and what l’ll say to this is if you looked at a suburban train line you’d just think it was a metro. electrified multiple units, substantially grade separated, high frequencies, 4 doors, and very fast dwell times
