Well isn't this delicious? The city clowncil says we have great bus service so they'll waive parking requirements to push people out of their evil cars, arguing no one will need cars if we build bike lanes everywhere and push for Transit Oriented Development. Then, when someone calls them out on it and exposes the fact that the developer has craftily gotten around the spotty bus service by using the bus schedule instead of actual headway data, it jeopardizes the project.

And to top it all off, now the activists in the urbanist movement are crying foul that the development was stopped, all because a neighborhood group pointed out the bus service there wasn't what it was claimed to be. They could push the city to get more buses and improve service times. But no, they championed an end run around neighborhood planning, and now they're crying it's backfired on them. And now they're worried that their scheme to Apodmentize the rest of our city is threatened by this ruling.

I love it.
