today’s mass media layoffs really go beyond “industry news.” we’re watching the removal of the people who explain what’s actually happening to us, beyond canned press releases and official narratives, at a time when we need that the most. healthy democracies need journalism!!
Today Baltimore City Council's Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to repeal parking minimums citywide by supporting @zacblanchardd11's Spaces for People Act.
On to the full council!
If this moves forward, the only safe way to implement it is to fully invest in all of the transportation improvements long promised in the Jones Falls Valley:
1) End car through traffic
2) Implement the Jones Falls Gateway
3) Install a sidepath from the switchbacks to Union
@blanchard4bmore We bike on Falls all the time, it's an awesome road and is so held back by the lack of vision for what could be a great greenway. Also congrats to your wife!
Mayor Scott and YIMBY leaders on the City Council introduced bills today that would roll back Baltimore's restrictions on development density, allow people to build closer to their property lines, and do away with requirements for off-street parking https://t.co/x4fS2IvIHt

I will re-introduce the Abundant Housing Act in the coming term, along with other necessary changes, like single stair reform, to set us up for success.
The top of the ticket knows it’s too hard to build. Local government must remove the barriers it created.
