Your regular reminder that the world's most famous cycling city could have gone a very different way. Post-war Amsterdam prioritized more cars and new freeways, following the same playbook as many North American cities. By the 1970s cycling modal share was just a fraction of daily trips. The lesson isn't that some cities are naturally just "better suited" to cycling, it's that change is possible, and doesn't happen by accident.

A fire sale has office buildings across America going for more than 90% off.

Landlords and their lenders held on to their office towers for years, hoping for a turnaround after Covid. Now, they are accepting enormous losses.

Owners and creditors are capitulating to the reality that more employees are splitting their work time between home and office. They are also resigned to stubbornly higher interest rates, which lower property values and make it harder for buyers to borrow.

Nothing underlines the sensitivity of stocks right now quite like what happened on Monday, when one of the factors behind the Dow’s 800-point drop was a 7,000-word hypothetical.

A viral report by Citrini Research tapped into a new strain of fears about AI, painting a dark portrait of a future in which technological change inspires a race to the bottom in white-collar knowledge work.

Concerns of hyperscalers overspending are out. Worries of software-industry disruption don’t go far enough. The “global intelligence crisis” is about to hit.

“For the entirety of modern economic history, human intelligence has been the scarce input,” Citrini wrote in a post it described as a scenario dated June 2028, not a prediction. “We are now experiencing the unwind of that premium.”

Many of Monday’s moves roughly aligned with the situation outlined by Citrini, in which fast-advancing AI tools allow spending cuts across industries, sparking mass white-collar unemployment and in turn leading to financial contagion.

Software firms Datadog, CrowdStrike and Zscaler each plunged more than 9%. International Business Machines’ 13% decline was its worst one-day performance since 2000. American Express, KKR and Blackstone—all name-checked by Citrini—tumbled.

Nationally, Atlanta ranks as roughly the seventh-worst traffic city in the United States.

In its latest “worst traffic cities worldwide” listing, INRIX placed Atlanta at No. 16 globally, just behind Miami and immediately ahead of Rome, Italy. According to the study, drivers in the metro area lose roughly 75 hours per year sitting in traffic, a figure that represents a 15% increase compared with last year. For the average driver, that time lost adds up to nearly $1,400 annually.

The firm identified Interstate 285 on Atlanta’s east side as the city’s busiest corridor.
