Submitted by MLewyn on Mon, 05/20/2013 - 12:54pmBecause of the release of a new book about the growth of poverty in the suburbs, there has been all sorts of chatter on Twitter and the urbanist blogosphere about the growth of suburban poverty. Obviously, poverty anywhere is not a good thing. But as long as there is poverty, is it such a terrible thing that some poor people now live in suburbs?
Speed Bumps Are Not All Bad
Submitted by MLewyn on Sun, 05/19/2013 - 12:25pmI have generally been pretty skeptical of speed bumps (also known as "speed humps"); they can be harmful to cars, but don't do as much to calm traffic as some other techniques.
How (Some) Drivers Suffer From One-Way Streets
Submitted by MLewyn on Fri, 05/17/2013 - 2:34pmGenerally, supporters of a less car-dependent society are critical of one-way streets, while supporters of the sprawl status quo favor them.
But I have a somewhat different perspective after driving around downtown Atlanta today. I drove there to do an errand for my mother, and the maze of one-way streets added 10 minutes to my drive time, as I searched in vain for a southbound street to get me home. So it seems to me that one-way streets are actually inconvenient for someone who has business downtown and is trying to navigate his or her way home.
