The more I think about it this might be the best urban development in the last one hundred years. And it happened not in Tokyo or NYC or Paris or Bonn or Brasilia or Shanghai. It happened in Starkville Mississippi.

The standard excuses:
"Roundabouts don't work with high volumes."
"Roundabouts don't work with low volumes."
"Roundabouts don't work in the suburbs."
"Roundabouts don't work in the cities."
"Roundabouts don't work because we're too dumb."
"Roundabouts don't work because we're too smart."
The constant @USDOTFHWA response:
"Roundabouts are a proven safety countermeasure because they can substantially reduce crashes that result in serious injury or death."
Take a deep dive into roundabout design if you're truly interested in saving lives in and out of cars. And remember that like any intersection design, smaller is safer.
Just because YOU don’t want to live in an apartment or ride a bike to work doesn’t mean OTHER PEOPLE should be unable to do so.
Let’s reform our zoning, permitting, and parking laws so we all have the freedom to choose how we live in society.
We have a broken pole on University caused by the recent storm event. Crews are en route to repair and restore services. Please avoid this area while work is on going. @Starkville_PD@OktibbehaEOC

Many people move to the suburbs when they have a family, but then find themselves more isolated than ever before. In contrast, walkable urban neighborhoods provide nearby access to amenities and more chance encounters that build community.
There are around 13K volunteer firefighters in Mississippi who get up in the middle of the night, burn their own gas, ruin their own clothes and miss time from work to keep our communities safe. As Governor, I’ll propose a state income tax credit to offset the costs they bear.
Pops of color, a sense of enclosure, greenery, and charming architecture all at a human scale.
These are some really important keys to building great places!
Don’t watch the Tyre Nichols video if you don’t have to. It’s horrific, heartbreaking, & the entire Memphis PD should be ashamed of themselves.
Instead watch this & celebrate his talent & passion, which were taken from the world far too soon.
Cool. Same number of units, but the cottages are way better for families, better for social connection, better for hiding parking, better for fitting in suburbs. A development in Rhode Island.
