The city of Stamford opened a massive new parking garage right next to the city's main train station. Now, just two weeks into its life, it is filled to capacity.

This is a basic lesson in induced demand, a concept that planners have understood for decades. It also highlights the inadequacy of the city's transit, bike infrastructure, and pedestrian infrastructure. The only way to solve traffic is giving people alternatives to driving.

Solidarity to Trader Joe's workers working to build a union to fight for a living wage, safety, and dignity. I remember how lax the company's approach was when Covid-19 first broke out. My family and I refused to shop there. Essential workers, and all workers for that matter, should feel safe to unionize without corporate retaliation. Shame on Trader Joe's.
