@rooster_ohio Had to sit through his prayer tonight at the Women’s Suffrage event at the Statehouse. No shame doesn’t begin to describe this man.

@rooster_ohio @andrewbrenner I had to sit through a mandated realtor training by this woman and let me tell you, she is probably the biggest trash human being in central Ohio and cannot stand up to even one second of pushback.

@rooster_ohio @ShillcockGeorge “I am a very deep, logical thinker…” Pierce said. A board full of very stable geniuses, I am sure.

@rooster_ohio 😂😂😂😂

@rooster_ohio While biking on town street in the lane with a bike sharrow I once had an angry motorist on town street waive papers out their window towards me while shouting about how ORC says I need to be in the other lane. Giving the same energy.

@rooster_ohio Personally I don’t blindly think sherrod will win but I don’t think you can pretend that there aren’t a lot of good reasons from 2018 - 2023 to believe that it’s highly possible.

@rooster_ohio I think you need to give NPR a TL;DR on hog voters https://t.co/tk1Seu6AeT

@aaron_renn It’s hard to dispute though that the cultural connection of both upper classes (British & American) weathered the storm of pretty much all conflicts from the Revolution onward.

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn Like most sensible things it has now become a culture war issue, and I assume we will see solar development grind to a halt as nearly every township with the land to accommodate solar is controlled by Rs

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn Wish this were true in Ohio. The R legislature has created a situation where 2 local officials can ban solar and they effectively have anytime one gets proposed

@SarahIngles Thank god there is an actual adult in the room that CCS that appears to care about the schools and the community!

@HistoryExtra What percentage of the population was in domestic service at its greatest extent?

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@reroutethe23 😂 Zak left us for MIT!

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn Same seems true for Ohio (and really all the Great Lakes). I feel pretty confident there will be a resurgence in momentum, but will it happen in my lifetime? Not sure about that.

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@Mounlrr IMO this is why we need a zoning code change so bad. They can build SFHs by right and sell them for nearly 1 mill but if you want to build a duplex or quad on the same spot and maybe have it be more accessible you jump through months worth of hoops.

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn The questioning tends to be more about whether the skills are actually being passed on or just the money and titles. In my own world I’ve seen a few 2nd gen businesses fail because the talent wasn’t passed along with the last name.

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn I keep wondering if this is ultimately a bad thing? Affordable rents tend to allow for more risk and innovation (think most “arts districts”). I think of this even with commercial rents - my firm would likely not have been able to move to our downtown office without lessor rents

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn Ohio began allowing these around 2015/2016 and since then they have become a very popular tool. Interestingly they took off first and most prominently in suburbs and smaller cities, and I think that’s where you still see them most viability

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@rooster_ohio @j_aimejm … this you 😂???

[Josh Lapp @josh_lapp]

@aaron_renn If you haven’t been to the National Veterans Memorial & Museum it is def worth a visit (along with the growth of the nearby area).
