Cable cars/gondolas are often seen as an ineffective gimmick just for tourists. But they do fill a genuine transport niche in urban places with rough cliffs and ridges—like the Palisades in Hudson County. We should build some here.

"The narrative arc of Vance’s redemption is not long, and it bends toward power." The only good thing about JD Vance's new book is that it provides an excuse for smarter, better people to dissect and diagnose his odiousness in smarter, better essays, like this one in @commonwealmagazine.org.
