CityBeautiful recently released a great video about how to fix stroads.

It's accurate, and lines up exactly with the advocacy that my wife and I were doing 10 years ago, right down to using StreetMix to redesign streets.

It's also extremely depressing and makes me glad that I don't live in North America anymore.

My town is like this. We have a huge stroad in front of what used to be an old GM plant, but there's no interest in intensifying the industry there.

Instead the plan is to "preserve green space" and "reduce traffic congestion" by having businesses move to the 170 empty acres on the west side of town that's 5 minutes off the highway.

“It's quite sobering to think that we had an 8 ppm drop, and we potentially had population decreases in the new world of up to 90 percent,” said Bauska.

@arstechnica schedule I is "defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse".

Did the DEA finally hear of medical marijuana?
