Maryland has a D trifecta, Ds in the White House, and we're still doing highway expansion.

You don't make money with empty apartments.
(Also this would make them pay property taxes without using services, which is awesome)

Population density, a lot of those neighborhoods were denser. also churches.
Harder to run a club when you have a 25 minute drive vs a three minute walk.

the way most national teams could have just taken the bare minimum of covid precautions (respirators + air filters in room, eating outdoors) and won more medals from that alone. 🤦♂️
Texas drivers are literally half of a percent of all carbon emissions.
We could change the planet if we changed our communities.
Everything counts in large amounts.
Formula One is coming to Downtown DC this weekend 🏎️
Bring the whole family to see the transformation of Pennsylvania Ave into a temporary track and to get up close to the F1 fun.

This is an absolute disaster. Governor Moore campaigned on transit expansion, while his proposed budget kills essentially all expansion and slashes service funding. This will have devastating impacts on both the MTA and WMATA.
1/. DC is undergoing one of the largest changes to zoning in years, and it is going basically no media coverage 📰
The change is being finalized, but here are my biggest takeaways

@RahneAlexander
Beyond the obvious racial justice impacts of only putting them in the ""black butterfly"" it is dumb to have gaps in the rest of downtown where ostensibly you still want to detect shootings...

Violet Affleck holding it down at the LA County Board of Supervisors demanding mask availability, mask mandates in hospitals, and clean air in all government buildings including jails and detention centers. Go Violet! 😷🍉
This is GOP rhetoric. Literally Heritige Foundation. There is a housing surplus in some areas. A shortage in others.
"Rolling back red tape?" Quality controls?
We had a surge of fly by night contractors in the 1990s, causing massive safety issues. Houses were falling apart.

I love the interior courtyards in Guate. they aren't that common in the West but I think they are a smarter way to have a little bit of geeen space without lawns.

feel free to lodge a complaint to the medical system, no official compliant basically means it "didn't happen".
Gotta do the paperwork.
Two months out, this is the lowest one-way

fare NYC-BOS for 2 adults+2 kids the day before Thanksgiving. We desperately need a regional transit policy that's not "everybody can just drive!"
Kamala Harris has announced, that if elected, she will mandate the construction of Town 2.0 complete with multiple dance floors. "People deserve a place to go to the club and hear club classics."
Most of the cans on the right have 3/4g connections to tell when they are too full and the routes for trucks picking them up go dynamically rather than stopping where not needed.
this is common in 🇨🇿🇵🇹
Americans on Twitter are always like, how have you not figured out waste containerization yet like every other city in the US has? Well, we are a real city, not an overgrown suburb like San Francisco where a bunch of little cans are enough. We need a real man’s solution…
