If you have clean blankets or warm clothes to give to our unhoused and you're in the Sparks area I'm happy to pick up donations for distribution this evening with Puff Puff Pass the Love

It would be nice if there were some kind of robust, federal public housing program that wasn’t prison.

Every time I look at Washoe county property records the more convinced I am that we need legislation to prevent long-term vacancies and idle lots.

[Washoe Basics @WashoeBasics]

For a city design that claims to focus on transportation and inclusivity there's a conspicuous lack of mention of public transportation.

Is this another proposal for a company town in NV?

Utopia of the future? The mission statement for Telosa is to "create a more equitable and sustainable future" that can "become a blueprint of future generations."

@OurTownReno @CityofReno I'm very curious on what other orgs might be bidding and what qualifications officials require of operations management teams

[Washoe Basics @WashoeBasics]

@JohnWake @FredYeetzche @PEWilliams_ I hope it's not too big of an ask, but would either of you have links on easy to digest info about alternative housing models?

[Washoe Basics @WashoeBasics]

@JohnWake @PEWilliams_ I'd be really interested in hearing more of your thoughts on coops and other non-market housing models. I just subscribed to your substack for more info.

[Washoe Basics @WashoeBasics]

@JohnWake @PEWilliams_ Your analysis work is interesting. How do you feel about public housing as a solution?

During the #StopTheSweeps demonstration this afternoon some people working on behalf of the city tried to quietly conduct a sweep just yards away.

@CityofReno could you please provide some information on the work orders for these groups?
