Yeah… there’s certainly some progress in the works and the mayor in particular seems to get it. But I wouldn’t bet on Cleveland becoming Amsterdam either.

2024 will be a critical election for defending democracy and defeating MAGA extremism—there's no time to waste so we're starting to organize now. We must re-elect Biden-Harris, defend our narrow Democratic Senate Majority, and win back the House—giving Democrats a federal trifecta that can strengthen our democracy and make progress on the issues we care about. And we must elect a Democrat as the next Governor of North Carolina. Let's get started. I hope you'll apply or share this listing with someone who might be a good fit.
Very cool. Yeah, Cincinnati’s sprawl is crazy - but there’s a lot of opportunity for transit oriented development so I guess that the optimistic perspective.
Cincinnati's streetcar is setting ridership records. Will that lead to more transit? Check out the video where I lay out a transit plan Cincinnati!
Like many cities, Cincinnati has strayed far from its urbanist roots over the past century. And like many cities, it’s slowly working its way back. For this video, we’ll dive into Cincinnati—its urban heritage, its sprawl-y present, and its slow progress towards urbanism. And for the first time, I’l...
Cincinnati was once one of the largest and densest cities in the country—before highways and sprawl tore it apart. I made a video about how it can get back on the right track - literally 🚋!

Whatever dude. MAGA extremist nearly overthrew the government two and a half years ago and last year five MAGA Supreme Court Justices stripped women of fundamental rights they’d had for 50 years. There’s like one Socialist in Congress and his most radical idea is to… checks notes adopt the same healthcare system that every other developed nation uses.
I don’t think I want to know what you think America stands for.

It was very safe, because of the large number of riders and because of the police presence. Sadly, the crowd of bikes came together for the...
Columbus is on track to have more people riding bikes die on our roads this year than any year on record. The city isn’t doing nearly enough to protect people who walk or bike.
