Guess @ZohranKMamdaniโs moving out of his rent-stabilized apartment, just like Cuomo asked for!

A bill passed by the NYS Legislature banning One-Person Train Operation goes against best practices both across the country and world, and would leave New Yorkโs transit system far behind its peers. ETA asks Gov Hochul to not allow this regressive bill to become law. Link in ๐งต

BREAKING: Cuomo has fled the NYC mainland following its fall to socialist Zohran Mamdani. Sources say he will establish a new govt on Staten Island with the goal of eventually reclaiming the entire city. Mamdani has promised to purge all remaining Cuomintang on the mainland.

We have been vaccinating people for 50 years. If vaccines caused autism, then North America would be covered in a web of intricate, slightly idiosyncratic bus, tram and train systems.
Autism is the public health disaster, 1 in 32, thanks to vaccines. Get your messaging correct.

Most big city residents want a Bloomberg-esque mayor - technocratic, rich enough to ignore special interests, capable of attracting a talented bureaucratic corps. Only a few cities can consistently attract them. Itโs odd that NY has gone so long without one (and will continue to)
Small businesses and homeowners in San Francisco: permitting is about to get easier. Today, we announced reforms and legislation that will make permitting faster, simpler, and more transparent. These ordinances will cut red tape, save time and money, and finally make our

Automating the Metro in DC would produce tremendous benefits for whole region, but transit unions don't actually care about quality of transit service. Maybe that's fine, but at some point progressive transit advocates need to accept these folks don't share our priorities.

Dear Prime Minister Carney, My name is Joey Politano, I am 26 year old American. My government is depriving us of affordable cars and Mexican beers. Our people and our country yearn for freedom. Please send Bombardier Challenger 650.

I live in Astoria (sometimes I say LIC) and now i am gonna donate to whomever is running against @ChrisMarteNYC This crazy, odd TikTok thing is so hysterical- itโs a perfect messageโฆto vote against him! Would be awesome if this backfire is what leads to his loss!
there's a lot about this video that pisses me off but the fact that this is all in support of a candidate who didn't support congestion pricing REALLY takes the cake. when you do clownery.........

Despite superior, more cost-effective alternatives, the MTA is purchasing battery-electric locomotives for Metro-North to run on already electrified Penn Station Access tracks. This decision is baffling and misguided, and we urge the MTA to reconsider. Read our analysis now.

Farewell to our friend Donald Shoup, the guru who showed how parking can make and break a city. He was decades ahead of his time and we're still trying to catch up with him. The legacy of his life and his times will never expire. https://t.co/R5xy1XAuSV

Professor Donald Shoup passed away on February 6, 2025. Among many other significant achievements and honors he was a founding Advisory Board member of PRN. Donaldโs curiosity, intelligence, passionโฆ

fare evasion is honestly total loser behavior. $2.90 to get almost anywhere in the city is an incredible value, and fare evasion just defunds the MTA and makes the system worse in the long run.

In a recent report, Amtrak made fundamentally flawed arguments against through-running at Penn Station while pushing its unnecessary $16.7B project. The report is simply incorrect and should be dismissed. NYC is ready for through-running. Read our analysis now! (link in reply)

16 school speed violations and more than $3K in overdue fines. ๐คฏ Engineering goes a long way, but enforcement can't be overlooked.
The joys of an early morning bike ride in the "protected" bike lanes patrolled by the @NYPD114Pct. This driver only has 16 School Speed Camera Violations and more than $3K in overdue fines. #bikenyc

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thus reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood.
Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay

In @TheAtlantic today, I argue the safe streets movement has taken an odd turn. Under the banner Vision Zero, not only is there just 1 acceptable solutionโcostly road redesignโbut reformers now dismiss the importance of enforcement. Expedient, but deadly. https://t.co/yyGtK7JDd8

Road-safety activists convinced themselves that law enforcement was unnecessary.
Road-safety activists claim that fewer police and better-designed streets will make driving less deadly, writes @greg_shill. But they should redirect some energy away from the design-industrial complex and โtoward targeting the deadliest behaviorsโ:
