Well, I might've put more hours into today's video than any video I've ever done, just in terms of analysis and figuring out graphics to explain what I'm talking about. I really enjoyed doing it, though, and I hope people enjoy the final product! It's another angle on what's probably my favorite thing to talk about, which is high speed rail and the absurd fact that every other economically advanced country has judged it to be massively useful and figured out how to build it.

I'm gonna take next Wednesday off because I'm traveling to St. Pete and San Luis Obispo for speaking stuff. Both of these trips will ultimately yield "city visit"-type videos, but I won't be able to actually produce anything next week due to travel commitments.

HOWEVER! I'm almost certainly going to replace next week's video with a livestream. This time I want to answer Patron questions. So leave some in this thread and I'll figure out how many I can tackle in an hour (with some live questions thrown in during the stream).

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Edit: I'm not going to respond to questions directly here -- I'll save that for the livestream (which will also be available as a recording).

I like the idea of roundabouts, but for large roundabouts with lots of lanes, how can pedestrians be accommodated?

What’s the best way to stop freeway widening? 1 Logic: Present data about vehicle miles, induced demand, pollution,… 2 Emotion: talk about quality of life, racist placing of freeways, nature 3 Pressure: write to politicians and the press 4 Direct action: get out in the streets with signs and chants. I live in Portland and see ODOT really determined to widen I5.
