The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog USA.

In today’s newsletter, we consider the humble public space. Whether it’s a downtown plaza or a sprawling subway system in an urban area, how we manage our shared resources is critical to life in our cities.

First, Kea Wilson offers another episode of her always-insightful podcast, The Brake. And below that, Streetsblog NYC investigative reporter Nolan Hicks takes a long, sprawling, deep dive into why New York City’s $30-billion social safety net continues to fail homeless people in the subway.

It’s the kind of coverage you won’t see anywhere else.
