@theillustrious Loved Tomorrow… felt the same way but then picked up The Latecomer. It was great, too.

@DanImmergluck I’m so sorry! Such a hard loss ❤️

Designed for danger:

Urban, four-lane roads owned by GDOT are known to be deadly.

New data shows that they're the sites of 12.5 % of severe intersection crashes in the Atlanta region, even though they make up only 2.7 % of the lane-miles.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities

"Hey, I'm all for [urban density; new transit lines; bike lanes; low-income housing]!"

"I just disagree with the one-size-fits-all approach of this proposal because [it's near my house]."

People who don't understand what 'all for' means.

We live in an era when it is safer to fly in an airplane 30,000 feet above the ground than it is to walk down the street.

We must do everything we can to cut fatalities on our nation's roadways.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”

It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last.

Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic.

This is new. This is leadership.

Cities are a result of choices.

@dfmcmurray @Decaturish The next public hearing is Monday 10/17 at 7:30pm - another chance to engage!

Climate is a massive problem but there is stuff you can do right in your neighborhood. For example, show up to a meeting where people are opposed to a housing project and speak in favor. That’s a great way to start.

Excited to host #affordablehousing #planning table today at #DBF2022 to talk missing middle, “inflection points in housing” & efforts to “policy our way out” of housing crisis. I have some of my favorite planning books, too. @DanImmergluck #RedHotCity @DecaturBookFest

[City of Decatur- GA @CityofDecaturGA]

Two public hearings will be held in October to discuss Decatur’s housing affordability recommendations for missing middle housing.

Tomorrow, city staff will begin placing blue signs throughout the city to give notice of the hearings and remain in compliance with HB1405.
