@theRealZenz Or the BRaT—this is WI, after all

@mertzigzag Whether or not ranch homes are shitty or good land use is less to the point than the overwhelming resistance to losing even one ranch home amid a monotonous monoculture of ranch homes. Swapping out just one single family home for any increase in density is rigorously opposed. Sad

@theRealZenz Who is going to make that point at the upcoming Plan Commission and Council meetings regarding the West Area Plan?

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

It’s infuriating how little credit Kamala Harris gets for being a highly successful Vice President.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

How do you feel about the Vice President? Give me a couple minutes of your time and let me know if that changes... @VP

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Unsolicited advice for Democrats: unleash and support Kamala Harris. She's the VP. She's the first female to hold the position. She has been excellent at campaigning on women's rights and attacking the GOP for overturning Roe. Stop being afraid for once.

@del_poblano @HailMike @IsaacRowlett “Stellar public service sector”? This is only partially true. There certainly is homelessness. There is a terribly racist school achievement gap. The lakes are in a terrible state. There is PFAS in the drinking water. At least the BRT is coming to improve the lousy public transit

[Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway @SatyaForMadison]

Milwaukee is a terrific city.

Pass it on.

This isn’t Amsterdam, this is Minneapolis. This country can have great biking infrastructure too!

@CityofMadison Great addition to Elver Park! But the residential areas should be higher density.

[yim yonson @PedVU]

@PCEDMadison Great addition to Elver Park but the housing could be higher density

[yim yonson @PedVU]

@theRealZenz The part of the argument they are missing is that if Madison doesn’t allow denser housing, Deforest and Fitchburg will— which eliminates farmland and natural areas and those new suburb residents add to the traffic on Madison streets.

The effort by Shawnee Park and Climate Alliance to turn Shawnee National Forest into the Shawnee National Park and Climate Preserve sounds promising and is gaining backing. https://t.co/aI8gMwjriR

There was good support for allowing additional density in the West Area Plan at this evening’s neighborhood meeting hosted by the City. Don’t miss the second note about Sequoya Commons. @aligarfield_ @isthmus @PCEDMadison @CityofMadison @MadisonForPpl

“It's a great evolutionary mystery: This is a species most people have encountered somewhere in their homes, places of work, hotels, or restaurants. Yet there seemed to be no trace of its origin.”

Until now

If you can be convicted of a felony and continue to run for President, every one convicted of a felony should be able to vote.

@CapTimes Formerly “a source of progressive opinion,” I recently ended my 20+ years of support for this paper thanks to the publisher’s string of misleading and regressive pieces.

[yim yonson @PedVU]

@CapTimes Why not increase tax revenue by letting the private sector build more housing without TIF?

[Naqiy Mcmullen @NaqiyNY]

Most of the country is neither dense nor walkable, but every state has at least a small amount of urban places. To highlight unheralded urbanism, I’m mapping the highest density Census tract in every State in descending order 🧵
