Defenestration

Retweet != Endorsement, Opinions my own.

Grew up in the upper midwest, fan of #DCStatehood and good public transportation.

ONE MILLION WASHINGTONIANS

[DC YIMBYs 🏗 @dcyimbys]

Really incredible work by @ggwash here. Two things to highlight:

1) 63% of residents support allowing fourplexes everywhere in DC.

2) 63% of voters would be less likely to support a candidate that voted against more housing.

@alanthefisher like yes it had a lot of issues with the design BUT there was literally funding allocated multiple times to fix it and expand it to actually useful destinations that were repeatedly killed off!

@alanthefisher Me, a DC resident watching this on the same weekend Bowser kills off the streetcar with no planned replacement...

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@alanthefisher @maustermuhle Hopefully the new mayor can push for more density+transit? JLG explicitly referenced Paris as the goal in her GGWash survey.

@maxdubler 2 stairs in a small building is just silly tbh. My old apartment had each stairwell on either side of the elevator with a tiny (useless) hallway between them. It's just obvious how silly the whole thing is in such a context.

@bipbipletucha @vivian39_ no skyscraper ban out in Maryland or Virginia!

Why not, Bethesda/Tysons/Reston? Step up your skyscraper game, we're slacking!

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@cityaestheticss the fake shutters look so insanely tacky

one of the brick houses by me has them and they're SO UGLY

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@vampiiremiilk @skupor not to mention schools are apparently all cancelled for tomorrow. So most parents will have to stay home.

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@clary_co And yet, it sounds like OPM wants everyone in tomorrow?

@yhdistyminen this is quite literally true of anyone on twitter lol. the average person just doesn't care about you being weird on the internet, yet people like eigen have convinced themselves they're the center of the world

@big_pedestrian growing up people in ND claimed that we had the largest nuclear arsenal so we could be independent

very funny considering how well that's working out for Ukraine, pretty sure 40 million vs 700k people in this case would not be a viable resistance

@Jesse_Brenneman next you're gonna tell me it has the ability to honk (only available through an accessory menu 7 layers deep)

@GuiveAssadi @cairoasmith Came here to say this. A lot of the factors behind the Chinese century of humiliation were self-inflicted as they refused to modernize both technology and political systems since they had been so dominant for so long.

By the time they tried to change course, it was too late.

@shashj Thanks for being one of the only outlets covering this with the levity and context that is necessary. Whatever might be in the best interests of the Venezuelan people, Trump has not proven he cares.

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@GraphCrimes what comes next is what really scares me. If we can just arrest random world leaders what's stopping Russia and China from doing the same to Ukraine and Taiwan?

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@GregNotSure @Urban_Immerser @diaper @milesintransit1 But Greyhound isn't a service! It's a for-profit corporation that abandons its users and has completely given up on multiple cities with populations greater than that of entire states! Do people in those cities simply not need transportation?!

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@cmarschnerde @sam_d_1995 you can have both, like in DC

[Defenestration @madwonk]

@bryancsk this is quite literally one of the main reasons I use Linux. There was geniune innovation that took place on Desktop Windows/Mac for about 20 years that we were behind on but now they're getting worse so we literally have to do nothing and win!

@krito_carde @kevinxu on sale in the last few months I've gotten 2-3 frozen pizzas at Safeway for $5 a piece (and not the crappy DiGiorno, but the "fancy" ones)

@craigsjr_pa @cafedujord ok but have you ever tried eating in-n-out on the beach while watching the sunset
