On Sunday, the Moldovan people went to the polls and voted in favor of President Sandu’s vision for a secure, prosperous, and democratic Moldova.

For months, Russia sought to undermine Moldova’s democratic institutions and election processes. But Russia failed.

The Moldovan people have chosen to pursue a path aligned with Europe and democracies everywhere.

Pecan Street (what is now 6th street) in Austin, 1937. This is looking west toward Congress avenue.

Here's what the same scene looks like today: https://t.co/GEwgI691OE

“I had a lot of excitement anticipating another three years of walking my son to school, but I have discovered the walk to the middle school is nearly impossible.”

I guess there is a big game in Dallas at the state fairgrounds this weekend. Here's an example of what what John Lennon called "instant karma."

“This was our Back to School Ride & Block Party. It’s a progressive ride where we pick up folks at 8 schools and then all end at the school where we installed crosswalk art earlier this summer.” — @MarkSussman_ #LetKidsRide

What if every city had “Bike Buses” for kids going to school & daycare? What if safe, protected bike infrastructure made them easy? From Nijmegen NL, a #BikeBus developed in partnership with an after-school childcare. HT to great folks at @Cycling_Embassy

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Tell me this isn’t the best “traffic” you’ve ever seen. A school “bike bus” started off each Friday in Barcelona a few years back, and got big from an initial 5 kids. Safety in numbers — do you think you could do this in YOUR city? #BikeBus Via @lljunca

"If you’ve lived in Austin, San Antonio, or the Hill Country for any period of time, you’ll often hear people say something like, “Yeah, it’s humid, but at least it’s not Houston," writes @Forrest4Trees.

Unfortunately, that's now a lot less true

Aircraft love at Breckenridge Airshow this weekend. The "Tora! Tora!" show was amazing.

From the Archives:
"Housing is a cruel game of musical chairs, because the way you get a better chair is by being rich. And those who end up without one are literally homeless."

If we want to fix the housing crisis, we need to add more chairs to the game.

City planners, if you want to create thriving, people-centric places, you have to make it easier and more comfortable for people to be there. A good step is adding public bathrooms.
