We've legalized these in Post Falls with our cottage home ordinance. The next challenge is communicating this vision to local developers. Our cities can be beautiful if we put in the effort!
@randy_westlund This looks much much nicer than a bunch of stacked up apartments and then a bunch of storage unit facilities and just parking on all the streets because there's no room for parking lots for all those stacked apartments I hope this all comes into play much better
We don't normally put fowl language in city code, but for this we made an exception! Post Falls has legalized ducks and increased the number of chickens allowed in the city. I encourage everyone to start producing some of your own food.

Those are not ticks. Ticks don't fly.
I know there is a lot going on about ticks. Is it going to be a bad tick year, yes. It did not get cold enough this winter. I also think people behind the fake meat shit are pushing the Lone Star Tick.
But people can't be so stupid as to believe that......oh wait..... yes, yes they can.
Stop misleading people.
Nashville Zoo is asking the public to help stop an AI data center from being built next door.
One of America's biggest zoos has launched a campaign against a proposed 69,000-square-foot data center that would sit next to habitats housing endangered species, including vulnerable clouded leopards.
Zoo officials fear the facility's constant noise, artificial lighting, and electrical hum could disrupt animal behavior and breeding programs that have taken years to establish.
The dispute highlights a growing side effect of the AI boom.
As artificial intelligence systems become more powerful, companies are racing to build new data centers to provide the computing power they require. These facilities consume enormous amounts of electricity and often operate around the clock.
Across the United States, communities have increasingly pushed back against new data centers over concerns about energy use, water consumption, noise pollution, and environmental impacts.
Now wildlife conservation groups are joining that resistance.
The Nashville Zoo, which houses more than 3,700 animals representing over 350 species, says the project could threaten one of the most important collections of rare animals in the country.
More than 180,000 people have already signed a petition opposing the development.
The company behind the project says it will use waterless cooling systems, meet noise requirements, and comply with environmental regulations.
But for zoo officials, the location remains the problem.
The battle reflects a growing challenge facing the AI age: how to expand the digital infrastructure powering artificial intelligence without creating new pressures on communities, ecosystems, and wildlife.

They want you to believe this happened in the LA Mayors race…
3rd place jumps to 1st in *every* ballot drop *after* Election Day
Defies all mathematical probability, the law of averages and has never happened in US election history
No one with a functional brain believes this
If you have witnessed potential election fraud, we want to hear from you.
People have been contacting our office wanting to provide information. We have established a dedicated email address for this purpose.
Email tips to: [email protected]
Please do not send rumors, theories, or second-hand information. We require direct evidence. Examples of what to report:
• A ballot arrived at your home for someone who has never lived there.
• You were told someone already voted in your name.
• You witnessed someone filling out ballots for others without their knowledge.
California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls
California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:
-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)
Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8
This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.
We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.
On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.
For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.
@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.
What are they afraid of?
BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.
Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.
The plastic ring around a duck's beak doesn't kill it fast. It starves it slowly. 2 seconds and a couple cuts fixes this problem.
A duck with a ring stuck on its bill can't open its mouth to eat. It can't fish. It can't preen. It tries to scrape the ring off against rocks, branches, mud, anything, until its bill is raw and it's exhausted from the effort.
Wildlife rehabbers see this constantly in waterfowl: cranes, geese, ducks, pelicans, and herons. The birds in the photo below are three out of millions.
The fix takes about two seconds. Cut every plastic loop you encounter before throwing it away. Six-pack rings, jug seals, the rings around milk caps, dog treat bag tops, mask ear loops. Snip every closed circle into an open line.
You won't see the bird your snip saved, but the ring you cut tonight isn't out there waiting to choke a tern next year. It's already a piece of broken plastic on its way to a landfill, no longer a snare for anything.
Still wet from birth, abducted from the mother and placed in solitary confinement. 😢 Immediately tagged by punching holes in both ears. Mother and calf will never see each other again 💔70% of all calves go to slaughter👺 End this madness. We don’t need animal #dairy #EndAnimalAg ✊#GoPlantbased 🌱
We’re hearing talk about increased farm fertilizer & fuel costs. Well these Mules are still eating what they always eat, and we’re spreading what all our animals always give us to spread. No change here. Come visit anytime except Sundays.
