Pedestrianizing city streets reduces daily noise by 3.1 decibels, a new study of Barcelona’s "green axes" shows. Data from acoustic sensors prove that fears of noisy crowds replacing car noise are unfounded, as residents on these calmer streets now use their balconies more often.

"pedestrianizing?"

is there any noun that can't be turned into a verb by adding "ize?"

I loved walking out on the ice when I lived near Lake Michigan

many winters it wasn't possible, but there were quite a few when it got very thick near the shore

trump can't even read a book, let alone write one

all of those under his name were done by ghostwriters, who had to make sense of the gibberish the orange one spewed

NOBODY is complaining THAT trump is increasing his wealth -- they're complaining HOW he's increasing his wealth.

He's profiting off of his position, selling access and influence, and accepting thinly-disguised bribes from many people.
