On top of everything, this chart is wrong. Willis Tower including its antenna is taller than the Empire State building including its antenna. Willis with antenna is 1,729 feet.

President Trump unexpectedly called press into the Oval Office to talk about the reflecting pool project.

Minutes later, he holds up this chart:

Waymo AVs, for example, doesn't pay for public parking and has already wracked up over $65,000 in parking fees in San Francisco alone. Meter Feeder CEO says all AVs should be paying for parking like the rest of us. https://t.co/uP7ZFdeTCk

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

A Pittsburgh company @MeterFeeder has completed a humanless public parking transaction w/ an autonomous vehicle. They say it's the first step in unlocking $20m, and potentially up to $500m, in public parking revenue that AVs aren't paying to munis. https://t.co/uP7ZFdeTCk

@AndrewHilaryUS It’s the best when it if filled with water. I love seeing it filled with water

Tina’s in Bloomfield has started full-service dinners. A 3-course dinner comes with 7 dishes including dessert and is $55. Highlights seasonal ingredients. I enjoyed every bite.

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@amellis_84 No, but it’s a bar so they have plenty of wine, beer and great cocktail options

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@markinpgh Lmao, the faded mural was still up in the side for a long while

@vhexcellentmail Idk, can’t just be geography. Cook county Illinois (Chicago) has more municipalities and its flat. Probably has more to do with a lot of industry starting company towns and influence from Ireland and their creation of home rule charters imo

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

Allegheny County has 130 municipalities!!! One of them has only 83 people!

[Lemmings 2: The Tribes @lemmingstribes]

Municipal consolidation is like a #1 civil reform issue in the United States. It Has To Happen.

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@owtahear Cook county, IL (home to Chicago) has 138, so looks like they have more. We are second, far as I can tell

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@jmarshfof About 2,400, according to most recent census estimates

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@justrightjim A recent Wilkinsburg annexation attempt into Pittsburgh also failed pretty spectacularly. There really is no local appetite for it, even though a lot of civic leaders I know say it would help

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@pghshecat What’s funny is I bet if you polled people on if their towns should shrink and have more “local control” they would support splitting up even more.

@BrodyMK64 Haysville!

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

@pittchagg @MattGajtka Haysville, a small area off Route 65 just before Sewickley
