In the latest episode of The Urbanist Agenda, guest Ellory Smith argues, "infrastructure is apolitical…because…it benefits everybody."
Unfortunately, this is projection, and the most insidious form of both-sides-ing: the unknowing kind.
Ellory is assuming that no one could possibly be so brazenly evil as to disagree with this goal, but they do. They really, really do. :dragon_sad:
In reality, the fact that infrastructure helps everyone is precisely what makes it directly political, because helping everyone is a Left-wing value. It is diametrically opposed to the Right-wing value of leveraging one's advantages over other people into successively greater advantages.
And for those of you who are new to this: yes, this does in fact mean that the Left side of the political spectrum is the only side that is even remotely morally defensible. :drgn_knife_angry: If a supposed Right-winger seems to want to help everyone, then there are three possibilities. The most likely is that your definition of, "everyone," excludes the people they're screwing over. The second-most likely is that they're just lying. The last option is that their personal politics are incoherent, probably because they don't know what "Left" and "Right" actually mean.

6 Captivating Murals by Cristian Blanxer and Victor García Repo
Welcome to a collection of some truly amazing murals by Cristian Blanxer and Victor García Repo. Their murals are more than just art on walls—they’re visual stories woven into the urban landscapes across cities like Aarhus, Huarte, Aracena, and more. Each piece reflects their unique ability to capture human emotion and interaction, seamlessly blending realism with abstract elements to create something extraordinary. From intimate portraits to urban scenes, Blanxer and Repo’s […]https://streetartutopia.com/2024/11/08/street-art-murals-by-cristian-blanxer-and-victor-garcia-repo/

@typewriteralley #Seattle's commitment to #SchoolStreets #StayHealthyStreets #StreetCafes and #HomeZones is an excellent move #MayorHarrell.
It makes me happy to see that US cities CAN change course and provide #StreetsForPeople.
Thank you to advocates like @GordonOfSeattle #SeattleNeighborhoodGreenways @qag @urbanistorg @seabikeblog who have been amplifying and piloting these ideas for the past decade. Go Seattle Go!

Fascinating piece about NYC's last remaining 19th-century gaslight lamp post, preserved on Patchin Place in Greenwich Village. It's remarkable how this single piece of urban infrastructure survived the wholesale modernization of the city's lighting system. These preserved elements offer tangible connections to how our cities once functioned and looked. #UrbanHistory #NYC #Infrastructure #Preservation #GreenwichVillage #19thCentury
