Percent of Louisville households that do not even own a single car. When you build only for cars instead of transit, bikes, and walking options across the county, you are leaving up to 50% of households behind and unsafe. Based on 2022 Census tract data: data.census.gov/map/040XX00Uโ€ฆ

Sometimes, man-made infrastructures can influence the weather of the surrounding area. Check out the extremely rare and very cool weather phenomenon dubbed "interstate-induced clouds" in our latest weather blog: bit.ly/4eajazx

Public agencies, consultants, advocacy groups, teachers... they'd all benefit from having a digital library with explainer videos like this one. Any and every transportation topic.

Megaprojects do not make real urban neighborhoods โ€” in one image: "For American cities, the moral of the story is clear. On large brownfield and greenfield sites, cities should stop treating whole districts as single development packages to be handed to master developers. They should do the more civic work first of laying streets, subdividing land into buildable parcels, and issuing clear 'parcel passports' that specify what each site can become."
In what is BY FAR the best contemporary case of courtyard urbanism that I have seen, the Dutch are building fine-grained courtyard blocks (good ones!) on ARTIFICIAL ISLANDS off of Amsterdam. But reclaiming land from the sea for courtyard blocks is not even the most interesting aspect of this. It's the development system, which uses a subdivision and parcel "passport" system to avoid megadevelopment and allow many builders and owners to participate in building out the courtyard blocks. This is fascinating. You will want to read it. Link below.

The biggest misconception I hear in real estate is that high property taxes are bad for home values, but property taxes (when spent effectively) protect your home's value. Check out this clip from my latest livestream ๐Ÿ‘‡

Transportation in NYC includes trains, buses, ferries, pedestrian space, and bikes. In San Antonio, transportation includes a left lane, middle lane, and right lane. ย  Let's Go Knicks!

Big things are coming to Butchertown and Louisville Slugger Field. We have great momentum with these two projects, including more than 500 new apartments planned between the Butchertown development and the Louisville Sports Entertainment District on Main Street Downtown.

Have an appointment in the LOUMED district this morning and its insane how much quieter it is thanks to the I-65 closure. First time in 3 years working downtown where I heard silence in this district. Crazy how we make peace and quiet a luxury for patients and medical workers

Going to take the opportunity of I-65 closing to shill the field notes article about the very tumultuous history behind its construction: udstudio.org/stories/the-dowโ€ฆ When it was proposed, Louisville's Board of Aldermen President called it a "montrosity"

It's the height of rush hour across Louisville. The sky has not fallen, the world didn't end and there's lots green across the metro. I-65 Shutdown

This is why Arlington keeps getting richer while much of America keeps sprawling A prime site directly next to Clarendon Metro is being transformed from a diner, parking lots, and an auto shop into: ๐Ÿ  290 apartments ๐Ÿจ 229-room hotel ๐Ÿ›๏ธ 16,000 SF retail ๐Ÿน Rooftop bar ๐Ÿš‡ Transit-oriented development steps from Metro Thousands of people pass through this area every day, yet for decades some of the most valuable land in the region was occupied by surface parking and low-rise buildings. Cities aren't built by expanding outward forever. They're built by using their best land better. ๐Ÿ™๏ธ๐Ÿš‡ #Arlington #Clarendon #Virginia #VA #NoVa #DMV
