@mcucolo57 Pretty confident the B-21s aren’t going to be escorting anything at this point in its cert program.

Trails predict where land will reprice. Years before the cranes show up.

New York saw it. Chicago saw it. Atlanta saw it.

Dallas is next. And it's running the largest version of this experiment any American city has ever attempted.

Here's the pattern:

Every major American city is fighting the same battle. The suburbs keep growing. The urban core fights to hold its tax base. People say they want walkability and community. Then they leave for places that feel safer and easier to navigate.

Cities have big ambitions. Dallas. Chicago. Atlanta. They want to attract people, businesses, and jobs. That takes money. Aging infrastructure needs replacing. New amenities need building.

The tax base isn't shrinking. But it's not growing fast enough to fund those ambitions without raising rates. And raising rates pushes more people out.

There's another approach.

Build infrastructure that makes land more valuable. Not highways. Not stadiums.

Trails.

It sounds too simple.

When you build a connected trail network, you create the walkability people crave. Neighborhoods that were cut off become accessible. Land values rise. Tax revenue grows without raising anyone's rate.

The evidence is hard to argue with.

New York built the High Line. Property values jumped 35%. Chicago built The 606. Home prices spiked 48%. Atlanta built the BeltLine. Developers have poured more than $9 billion into land along it.

The pattern holds whether the city runs red, blue, or purple. Build the connection. Land reprices.

Dallas is now running this experiment at the largest scale any American city has attempted.

The Loop Dallas is a 50-mile trail circuit. It connects the Katy Trail, White Rock Lake, the Trinity Forest, Fair Park, the Design District, and Pleasant Grove. Every quadrant of the city.

The Design District already proves the thesis.

The city built a short connector to plug the area into the Uptown trail network. Before, it was an isolated pocket of warehouses. After, it became part of the Uptown ecosystem. Taxable value climbed 383%. Developers flipped their blueprints. Buildings now face the trail, not the street.

South Dallas is next.

A 1,200-foot bridge is opening the Trinity Forest Spine Trail. Neighborhoods cut off for decades by the river, the railroad, and the highways are about to become connected.

Every city that built a loop trail system saw the same result. Remove the barriers. Capital follows.

Trails aren't expenses.

They're leading indicators. They tell you where land is about to reprice, years before the cranes arrive.

If you want to understand where Dallas is heading, don't watch the skyline.

Follow the trail.

@ABC Lopez Belloza had a removal order since 2015! Seems like pertinent information.

Canada’s tariffs on US goods pre-Trump 2025: Milk (270%), Cheese (245%), Chicken (238%), Steel (25%). High rates protect dairy, poultry, & industry under supply management & trade policies.

@DivaLaci D’s: We lost. We need to change the rules.

R’s: No thanks. We’ve got the House, Senate, SCOTUS, most Governors and the constitution.

@bennyjohnson I guess it is better late than never that she admits her prior positions were not common sense. However, nobody believes her new positions are how she would actually govern once off the campaign trail.

Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic.

It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status.

Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly.

NEW: @NBCNews reporting an Afghan on the FBI terror watchlist has spent almost a year in the U.S. after he was caught & released by Border Patrol at the California border in March 2023. NBC reports the watchlist shows he is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, a U.S. designated terrorist group responsible for the deaths of at least nine American soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan.
NBC reports that in February, the FBI tipped off ICE that he may be a national security threat, and ICE later arrested him in San Antonio, TX.
He was held in ICE detention until his court hearing two weeks ago, when a federal immigration judge ordered he be released on bond, despite ICE prosecutors arguing he’s a flight risk.
He is now out on bond, able to roam the U.S., with another court date next year.

Bombshell and highly concerning report from NBC here: https://t.co/Pr95oxI7LP
