Surprisingly good summary of the theory of change for early civic tech orgs

[Josh Gondelman @joshgondelman]

If politicians can text my cell phone asking for money I should be able to text them directly with policy suggestions.

Shout it from the rooftops (that a representative engagement process might allow to be constructed)

[Planning Department @BostonPlans]

We found that the individuals already engaged with the Planning Department are not representative of the City of Boston. Check out who currently participates in development review versus the demographics of all City residents. (2/4)

@stevevance Are you able to share the code or any documentation? We have been interested in similar analysis of developable lots at @MAPCMetroBoston

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

Not the best timing for this Strong Towns episode for those of us thinking about these issues in Boston

The chairs for this civic data panel are fittingly very “project cybersyn opsroom”

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

Psyched to be back in NYC today for @NYCOfficeofTech open data week. I’m moderating the @DataXDesign artist panel discussion today at @BRICbrooklyn

Come by and check it out https://t.co/M0BZ7crpiD

“When you talk about what do you lose with parking requirements? we’re talking about 125 units of affordable housing”

- Jay Monty, @cityofeverettma transportation planner on the benefits of parking reform / Everett’s TDM ordinance

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

“Councils don’t know what to do about parking [reform]. When you have orgs like @MAPCMetroBoston sharing data on utilization rates of parking at multi family bldgs, you’re ahead of the game” -@henrygrabar giving https://t.co/4Ful1vZA3p a shout out at our panel event today!

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

“Transparency can only get you so far when you don’t have choice. When you go to the grocery store you have a lot of options. That’s not the case when it comes to the internet.”

-@DKLinn @CityofSouthBend CIO on the limits of data and the challenge of monopoly for digital equity

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

Dreams do come true

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

Just got to Philly with the @MAPCMetroBoston digital equity team for the @netinclusion conference. Looking forward to learning about ways to deepen our practice in Digital Equity Planning and Affordable Housing + Broadband #netinclusion24

Do we think this giant pickup truck couldn’t see the bike rack? Doesn’t know what a bike rack is? Or intentionally parked there (not a parking spot) because he wanted to make the bike rack unusable?

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

@jenhawkinsonenb @CentralFalls_RI Amazing to hear! We always hoped to put that building to use.

(Also great to see the parallel between my old city and my current city)

[Stephen Larrick @SLarrick]

Glad my @MBTA commuter rail train is finally stopping in Lynn again as of today—but it never should have been the plan for one of the largest cities in the system to go without service for even a day, let alone for months or years.
