“The imagined payoff—a brand-new, suburban-style entertainment district—is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes downtowns worthy of their designation in the first place” https://t.co/nBFjCrjHHC
To break this down:
If, as TX AG Ken Paxton says, Texas did not consider race in drawing TX-09, TX-18, TX-29 & TX-33, then the districts couldn't be racial gerrymanders as alleged by DOJ.
A racial gerrymander requires that race predominate. No consideration, no predominance.
@dmn_mavericks@townbrad You and your DMN colleagues need to stop taking the Mavs’ spin at face value. Welts’ claim that those non-renewing were short-time season ticket holders is wrong. I had season tickets for 41 years, didn’t renew after the trade, and didn’t renew after the lottery. I wasn’t alone.
@townbrad Brad, TNT showed Nico in a courtside seat. He was courtside in SF. He hasn’t shown his face at AAC. Have you been able to talk to him, including to ask him why he’s hiding in Dallas?
Amazing feat—congratulations, Lael! Most of us won’t go anywhere near 18,000 miles, but every American should have access to good, safe bike routes for recreation, commuting, or both.

In 2006, #Ljubljana's mayor Zoran Janković faced aggressive backlash on his plans to make the center car-free. He stood firm and went ahead. Afterwards, the citizens re-elected him. SIX TIMES!
¡Saludos! from México City, where cycle lanes have burgeoned in recent years; thanks to political will, a fast build pace and holistic vision.
From 2019 to 2022, the city more than doubled the size of its network; from 175 to 380 km in length—reallocating 54,500m² of road space.
A cycle network must be five things: coherent, safe, comfortable, attractive, and direct. “I see all of that in Zoetermeer.”
Add good visibility and wayfinding, and it becomes clear why it’s considered one of the Netherlands’ best cycling municipalities.

Whether it's for commuting or exploring, bikes are an important element of American transportation. Bicycle Safety Month reminds us that safe bike infrastructure boosts local economies and connects neighborhoods.
