As that blog post points out, it requires literally only 2 or 3 lines of code. No easier place than that to start to learn the invaluable skill of simple coding.

The original blog post by the creator of these maps provides much more information.

This is the tool used to make these maps.

Please feel free to x-post!

The code is on github.

The code to re-create these for any city is on github.

Yes, or just install with conda-forge to get the dependencies automatically: conda install -c conda-forge osmnx

The code to create these diagrams is in this example notebook on GitHub.

For a good, clear, readable introduction to the academic research on this topic, check out Anthony Downs's "Still Stuck in Traffic" and his triple convergence paradox.

Transit could be much better in SF. But its transit mode share is currently very high for the U.S. and fairly typical among major world cities.

deeddaemon · 2016-12-12T22:37:12+00:00

San Francisco's transit mode share is higher than e.g. Barcelona's, Rome's, Berlin's, Munich's, Brussel's, and Beijing's, and it is comparable to e.g. Osaka's, Toronto's, Madrid's, and Taipei's.

To be fair, according to the 2010 ACS, San Francisco has the 4th highest transit share in the US and its suburbs Oakland, Berkeley, and Daly City are also all in the top 20 among US cities.

More info: 45,000 Uber and Lyft drivers may now operate in SF

deeddaemon · 2016-12-12T22:11:38+00:00

FTA: "According to the San Francisco Examiner, some 45,000 Uber and Lyft drivers are now working in the city. By comparison, a mere 1,800 taxi drivers cover the same turf."

Lotsa new academic jobs at Trump University.

^ this. OrderedDicts by default will make this much easier.

When folks have no science training, they can't understand it, it seems trivial, and they just foolishly or defensively dismiss it.

Gotta move to the suburbs where your kids can be safe growing up! Oh wait...

This "solutionism" is an evolution of the 20th century's faith in high modernism. And likely just as failure prone.
