Trying to be genuine on the internet. If we interact, please assume positive intent. Doesn’t mean I won’t disagree. Loves trains, hates parking minimums.

@StephMachado What’s that font?

I’m very glad to be re-electing @SamuelWBell and @JohnJLombardiRI this year.

@SethMagaziner: you’ll get my vote when you secure a permanent ceasefire in #Gaza.

How much more must this neighborhood endure?

POV: you donated to one national democrat.

Good morning!

Who dresses better? Alpha males or little dogs? Let's explore. 🧵

Waiting for the R line on NMS and reading about how “Another pedestrian has been killed on North Main Street in Providence” last night. “Another.”

We have had so much loss and trauma on one street. Stopping pedestrian deaths on NMS is an emergency.

I mapped out the named squares* of Providence!

*and a bunch of other public spaces that memorialize the people of Providence like plazas, piazzas, parks, parkways, fountains, tot lots, little league fields, and even a telephone pole.

@laterbacon this is amazing

@laterbacon An R-line conversion for the 78 and 35 along with frequent service along Mineral Spring would be a total game changer for RIPTA’s hub and spoke

Planning and zoning choices are budget choices.

When we restrict building we increase rent and decrease municipal revenues.

If we want to support or schools we need to build in our neighborhoods

[Dylan Conley @Dylan2DC]

Everytime we decide on building less than the market wants to build, we’re choosing to artificially restrict the size of the pie

4 stories instead of 6 in commercial zones? Ok, then we don’t fund an after school program

Single families instead of duplexes? Ok, no COLAs.

[Dylan Conley @Dylan2DC]

Read this. Budgets are level 99 difficult

This thread is why we need to be hell bent on raising municipal revenue

If the pie is too small, people are hungry no matter how it is carved

We gotta stop arguing about the slices & focus on growing the pie

@phileil @the_transit_guy Saw you both post about union terminal and I did wonder if it was a coincidence!

[Jessie Singer @JessieSingerNYC]

Janette Sadik-Khan's genius was understanding that you need to SHOW people what it looks like to rewrite the status quo -- and sometimes the only way to do that without drowning in red tape is to hustle some $5 lawn chairs into the street while everyone's asleep.

@DigitalSciGuy But if I'm at Metro International Airport about to leave Omaha, of course I want the 7-day forecast!

@waham That's why I shouldn't do this stuff past my bed time. Let me know if you find any others!

@ClickErik What's the liberty tree? I've never heard of it.
