I wish more members of Congress understood these things.
Donald Shoup explained to Americans the high cost of free parking, showing the way toward more walkable downtowns and affordable housing. That argument was near-impossible to get a hearing for when he began making it. Still, through his intellectual leadership, the trend of subsidizing cars at the expense of people is beginning to buckle. I admire the professor's courageous & contrarian wisdom, and I send my respect & condolences to his family & loved ones.

@PatrickJEvans @jdub3o And at least those events downtown have a localized positive impact on the downtown businesses. As opposed to being contained in a development all owned by the team’s owner.

@ohio_notary_ @AyJayCLE lol yeah that’s never happening. And if it does, it’s because they stole events away from the Q or convention center.

@ohio_notary_ Yeah, as a visiting fan or member of the media or whatever , it would actually be a pretty lame experience.

And if we want to host big mega events to get positive exposure for the city, hosting a big event in the middle of February in Cleveland probably isn’t the best.

This is obviously a very dumb policy move that will have very real negative consequences, but it’s also insane that we allow the president to have the power to do this unilaterally without an act of Congress.
Breaking: President Trump has imposed tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, the nation’s three largest trading partners, in the first official actions of his second-term trade war.

@JEmersonYoung1 Anecdotally it feels like it’s super late all the time. I’d love to see data on that since the Floridian service started
