my favorite new york social code is when a lone person needs to get a stroller up the subway stairs. nearly instantly, a stranger picks up the other end of the stroller, helps carry it up, then departs as quickly as they appeared. no words are exchanged. eye contact is minimal.

"NYC is nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there." The thing about NYC that's unlike any other American city is that visiting here and living here don't have anything in common. They are entirely different things and cannot be equated.

The degree to which we’ve accepted that housing should be a mechanism for wealth generation is horrifying.

I'm not sure why it's so hard for so many smart people to understand what's going on here The crazy science projects are emblems of the waste, they are not the point of the efficiency thrust

Spent the long weekend losing my mind over Montreal’s urban design. It’s the best in North America by a wide margin. Want to see some fantastic public spaces? 🧵📸
