Though of course libertarians would think you should be able to live with whoever you want as long as you aren't harming anyone. 22:57:06, 2015-01-17
I think there's a good libertarian angle on allowing equity co-ops. They'd allow people to directly & voluntarily offer personal subsidies. 22:54:38, 2015-01-17

RT @JustinWolfers: How could a democracy not pass a tax plan that redistributes some of the huge gains accruing to the top 1% to the other … 20:51:15, 2015-01-17
@DOTsNeverSay RT @Kurt_Vonnegut: Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance. 20:41:34, 2015-01-17
Need to improve snow removal at Junction Pl. & Pearl Pkwy. Wall of ice forces bikes into traffic, on sheet of ice. http://t.co/nBOiFknwLh 19:44:49, 2015-01-17
It's a beautiful bluebird winter day. I want to go for a bike ride. @BldrFoodRescue needs to be picked up for @MasalaCoop. How convenient! 14:16:25, 2015-01-17
Giving a talk on programming, modeling, drones, & climate science to super diverse bunch of CoderDojo middle schoolers at @denverlibrary. 11:02:59, 2015-01-17
My computer is grinding itself to a halt… coincidentally, in the month leading up to its warranty expiring. #EngineeredObselecence 12:46:55, 2015-01-16

The older I get, the less it seems that wisdom, intelligence and vision are correlated in the world at large. 07:53:35, 2015-01-15
That thing where all the time you spend trying to legalize community living interferes with actually living in community. 23:03:39, 2015-01-14

Holycrap, the comments on my @dailycamera piece about building cities w/o traffic (or parking) are actually civil: http://t.co/Q2J7lDO8QY 09:21:23, 2015-01-14
RT @BikeChoir: Does driving a car preserve our quality of life in Boulder? Great opinion piece by @ZaneSelvans in Daily Camera http://t.co/… 08:49:09, 2015-01-14
Objections to infill are usually about cars: parking & traffic. So most of us are "anti-car" for other people. I’m anti-car for myself, too. 00:49:48, 2015-01-14
@drgrist Main difference is “letters” tend to be shorter more timely articles. Still peer reviewed. Some journals just do letters, like GRL. in reply to drgrist 00:19:07, 2015-01-14
To allow infill w/o more traffic, we need human-scale neighborhoods & very little parking. Me in the @dailycamera http://t.co/Q2J7lDO8QY 00:04:11, 2015-01-14

@kbcran And this is why god invented sock puppets. in reply to kbcran 23:29:28, 2015-01-13
Okay, this one is harder: anybody have a copy of the 2014 IEA Energy Technology Perspectives, detailing their 2°C emissions scenario? 23:18:57, 2015-01-13
@trueanomalies @CaltechPlayers I totally want to name our new co-op after Parsons’ crazy house on Orange Grove. Did it have a name? in reply to trueanomalies 10:53:15, 2015-01-13
@ClimateWest Always a strange feeling of slow dread in the background when one of those trains rolls by. in reply to ClimateWest 10:49:11, 2015-01-13
@trueanomalies Is there a video of Pasadena Babalon online anywhere? Or the script? The play about Jack Parsons? 08:27:33, 2015-01-13
Anybody happen to have a copy of this laying around? http://t.co/Kygt5d8POL 00:59:29, 2015-01-13
@ericmbudd Sometimes climate change policy makes me feel that way too. in reply to ericmbudd 00:02:33, 2015-01-13
@subnaughtsounds Actually, you could even distribute an encrypted version via BT and then sell keys… in reply to subnaughtsounds 00:01:52, 2015-01-13
@andrew_leach @nature Interesting. Curious how this differs mathematically from impact of using a lower discount rate. in reply to andrew_leach 23:38:41, 2015-01-12

@mattsebastian @meltzere @DaveKrieger @dailycamera Great! We should talk. Maybe check out current TAB packet. I’ll be at DC tomorrow PM too. in reply to mattsebastian 20:23:17, 2015-01-12
@meltzere @DaveKrieger Is the @dailycamera interested in doing any coverage of @RideRTD’s proposed Bus (not so) Rapid Transit service plan? 19:59:34, 2015-01-12
US36 seems to be the only FasTracks corridor that @RideRTD is unwilling to deploy additional operating resources in. Why? 19:53:22, 2015-01-12
Certainly for peak hours BRT service with full buses, headways should be short enough you don’t have to think about a schedule. Please? 19:28:45, 2015-01-12
Seems unlikely that #Boulder will be satisfied w/ re-distribution of existing service hrs. What we want is MOAR BETTER service. 19:16:25, 2015-01-12
Also Boulder Junction getting treated like a bedroom community. No night, midday, or weekend service. C’mon @RideRTD! WTF, it’s TOD! 19:13:17, 2015-01-12
US36 @RideRTD BRT service plan to be done in May. Still issues w/ current proposal. Like no direct Boulder Junction to Union Station run. 19:06:20, 2015-01-12
That must be it! RT @moishel: @ZaneSelvans unless they count people walking from their car in a parking lot into a store? 18:50:41, 2015-01-12
When talking about repurposing lanes for BRT, maybe good to look at person-trips served by the lane. If it’s much more w/ the BRT, awesome! 18:48:01, 2015-01-12
Supposedly 18% of trips in E. Arapahoe corridor are human powered today. I find this quite hard to believe, having walked and biked there. 18:34:40, 2015-01-12
@RickHackett @humantransit Most examples of high bike+transit use are bike on train, or bikes on each end. http://t.co/6krUyyhRqm in reply to RickHackett 18:33:09, 2015-01-12
Most expected changes in transportation use attributable to “business as usual” scenario, rather than additional options we’re considering. 18:31:04, 2015-01-12
RT @CommunityCycles: New Boulder Bike Station. Ribbon cutting 1/28 noon http://t.co/t4TgKHBd9N 18:27:49, 2015-01-12
None of the scenarios proposed for E. Arapahoe would fulfill the TMP objective of reducing overall VMT. It’ll still be a car corridor. 18:26:05, 2015-01-12
Tonight we’re talking about the transportation aspects of #Boulder Envision East Arapahoe corridor planning effort at TAB. 18:04:51, 2015-01-12
