“Where cars meandered thru Mariahilfer Strasse 5 years ago, today people stroll down the street, and children can stroll safely & undisturbed along the former car lanes. People have taken the space, and now enjoy the new quality of place.”— Vienna’s past Dep. Mayor @BirgitHebein
“A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.” https://t.co/Fibc3aiazA
Hey @cobijones you mentioned during commentary of the #RSLvSEA game that Kreilach must be doing something special to get his own corner in the stadium. He has. Out of his own pocket he bought season tickets for all those seats & gives them away to underprivileged fans each game.
“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz
There have been 17 mass killings so far this year in the U.S. with 88 lives lost. The pace of the killings, each one involving firearms, sets a record pace not seen since 2009. https://t.co/oTnHJ9wd11
It's not about whether you personally want to or need to drive. It’s about understanding the simple truth that in cities, if everyone tries to move by car, no one moves much at all. So the more of us that are enticed to walk, bike & take transit, the better it is for EVERYONE.
This fire at a new Shell plant in Beaver County, PA caused mass pollution, endangering their workers & many families in the community. The impacts of plastic production are detrimental to our environment. Sign the petition to hold @shell accountable.

When it comes to achieving more housing in and around downtowns, remember, we’re not building “units.” We’re building homes. And we’re not just building homes, we’re building livable, lovable downtown neighbourhoods that people really want to live in. #LivableDowntowns
We don't know how many homes will be destroyed by the widening of I-15, and they're doing public comment over major holidays?
Not a chance.
@UtahDOT needs to extend the public comment period until after the holidays to give people a chance to process the plan. @SweetStreetsSLC
