@RoryDiamond LERP was never intended to be funded with public dollars, but in any case Parks and DIA removed it from the plan. They also removed the planned Pearl sculpture at the RiversEdge park. Public did not have a say with either of these decisions.

🧵Legislators think they’re voting on property taxes.

They’re actually voting on who controls local government.

For 50 years, Florida’s deal was simple: local communities paid their own bills, and local voters held local officials accountable.

Break that system, and the question isn’t what gets cut.

It’s who takes control.

@Watchman_motto A homeowner before us took similar looking doors going to our side room, formerly an open porch. In our historic neighborhood, many homes still have them, and I’m envious! I suppose we could have some made…/

@kylamb8 GOP legislature has passed budgets in Florida for how many decades?

@lmower3 @NateM_Tributary Looks like a good article, but paywalled.

@LHWesteman @atrupar @le61968 Masterful writing!

@SimpleCRE Greenville?

Watching the Gauff Potapova match…so many empty seats and on a Saturday? Is it that ticket sales are so low or are people not showing up. Sponsors need to give their tickets away, bad look on TV.

@Martina Lacoste needs to step in and remove them. Why would a brand want this?

One of America’s great delusions is conflating great cities with the presence of skyscrapers.

Want to find the most boring and soulless part of any American city? Go straight to where its tallest towers are. That's true even in Manhattan.

Our cities would be so much more livable if we could reset our imagination and accept vastly larger areas of mid-rise homes.

@rolandgarros So fun to be able to tune into this today! What a treat.

[Nancy Powell 🌳🦋🐝🚴🏻‍♂️🏫 @nanjpowell]

@usopen What an incredible match! Such a high level of tennis all the way through. Looking forward to seeing more from Fonseco.

This is how it’s done. Wider sidewalks and larger tree beds.

The @cityoflondon is planning to transform Fleet Street.

One of their options includes widening the pavement by up to 2m, more seating, planting trees & gardens and restricting eastbound through traffic (except buses, cycles & taxis).

Have your say:

@Watchman_motto Hard not to love a room with those windows.

[Nancy Powell 🌳🦋🐝🚴🏻‍♂️🏫 @nanjpowell]

Love this expansive experience of the park, river and Main Street bridge at Riverfront Plaza. Soon it may be obstructed by a restaurant planned for this spot, an unfortunate switch from the original plan.

This is an outstanding thread.

NYC and every city across the US needs urban bio swales as well. These work in concert with your sewage system by diverting a portion of rainwater into the ground, recharging the aquifer, absorbing carbon, supporting pollinators, and making the city beautiful. More please

@DanielPink So who and how is anyone checking the AI output? And where is that on the workflow or workload?

[Nancy Powell 🌳🦋🐝🚴🏻‍♂️🏫 @nanjpowell]

@Watchman_motto @sjgiardini Stove makes the space! Why can’t they make them like this today?

[Nancy Powell 🌳🦋🐝🚴🏻‍♂️🏫 @nanjpowell]

How appealing and useful!
