The DNR told me they won’t salt this bike trail because it’s bad for the environment… don’t mind the 8 lanes of salted highway right next to it though…

I really wish news orgs would call this what it is, a Capital Strike. Uber and Lyft could just raise prices and still operate here, but they've shown they're not in the business of providing a service, they're in the business of exploiting drivers for profit.

Minneapolis Mayor J. Frey: if Uber pulls out, the car-less, disabled, bartenders, late-night workers and out-of-town visitors will suffer. “When we do this policy, we have to do it right…These decisions have consequences.” City Council didn’t touch base with enough stakeholders.

@soft_fox_lad The reason it’s a problem is in smaller communities these are the only homes that exist so when they all get bought up by rich investors across the country, they can raise prices dramatically with no repercussions

@Tedfest @digitalFlaneuse @mndnr From what I can tell this trail was designed with proper drainage and runoff. Biking also requires about 5x less pavement than cars, so having reliably maintained trails is vital to reducing car trips and the need for salt on roads

@soft_fox_lad Buying homes and renting them out is already incredibly profitable at any home price, and even if they only own 20% of the rental market they can raise prices as much as they want because you can’t build new housing fast enough to offset it and people are reluctant to leave
