The culture that is Takoma Park, Maryland

Takoma Park has 180 speed bumps bumping up across just 2.36 square miles. That’s a lot of speed bumps — roughly 77 per mile.

Here is more.  The deadweight loss from a speed bump is perhaps not huge and for that matter not always positive.  Nonetheless this is indicative of a broader problem with our approach to governance, and our approach to mobility, or for that matter with our approach to innovation.
