Yeah - so Britain is always the uptight, conservative place it broke away from, not the one that exists in the 21st century, which is messed up but in *entirely* different ways. Where are you actually from, btw? Think I was first aware of your work on NYC so had always assumed you were a New Yorker
Israel and the expat ghetto of Singapore. I lived in New York 2006-11, people just associate me with New York because a) I visit a lot, and b) I mostly write about its inability to build rail infrastructure.
I can't remember what it was now, but I definitely first encountered you through something you'd written about New York transit back when I was editing a website on such things, some somewhere between 2014 and 2020
Yeah, I was (and still am) writing a lot about construction costs and New York is the worst in the world.
