From toilet plungers for bike lanes to community gardens on vacant lots to locally sourced incremental development, citizens are finding creative ways to make urban space while bypassing traditional bureaucratic systems.

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2024/03/15/urbanists-doug-burgum-lovefest-shows-the-why-behind-our-advocacy

I am far less interested in talking about Gov. Doug Burgum's politics than talking about his values, and how those values shape his urbanism, and thus the actual lives of the people he governs.

Why is efficiency more important to us than justice? — The Lab of Thought

https://www.thelabofthought.co/articles/why-is-efficiency-more-important-to-us-than-justice

All for the benefit to move people and goods fast from A to B, while in the meantime forgetting what we used the streets for in the first place. It is time to shift focus and challenge the dominant mobility narrative.
