As a native of NYC during the bad old days, I well understand that our social experiments with public housing in the US have ended almost entirely in disaster, and that is precisely because those developments were built with efficiency as the only goal, not human dignity and community.

This does not mean we should not build apartment buildings, it means we need to build apartment buildings with human dignity and community as our foremost concerns. #urbanism #architecture #design #housing

In the war against public spending, infrastructure, services, and supports, we are ALL the "undesirables".

Too bad it's on Instagram rather than an open website, but WOW.

(Following the breadcrumb trail from BikingInLA.com got me there.)

This is just glorious. It's @notjustbikes utterly, comprehensively destroying John Forrester's arguments for vehicular cycling.

It included reading through Forrester's books, going to the 1970s studies Forrester cited, and finding he fraudulently claimed the studies said the opposite to what they actually did.

(For the unfamiliar, John opposed bike lanes and protected bike infrastructure in the US because he wanted to promote a macho masculine MAMIL cycling culture where cyclists ride like cars in mixed traffic on busy main roads. Then he whined that few people wanted to cycle, and that cycling was a niche activity few people engaged with.)

Apparently Forrester also claimed to be a cycling expert yet never actually visited The Netherlands.

Neither the one above, nor this one, were the exact photos I saw of it. The one embedded from Blue Chunks on BikingInLA.com is a better shot, but I'm not sure if that's where it originated.

This is the same event. Looks like the designer's thesis work was borrowed (likely with permission) to make an impact while asking for cycle lanes.

I kinda wish someone printed these as stickers for people to stick onto oversized SUVs as a guerilla campaign.
