Land-use policy 🤝 transit policy
Transit Alternatives, Urban Living, and Texas predominate. Not necessarily in that order.

@ProgressCityUSA @boss_angeles @43SquareMiles Got a chance to finally listen to this episode and wanted to share; last summer, my wife & I had a chance to visit the Tokyo parks. The Country Bear show there was, indeed, a jaw-dropping fever dream... just an absolute joy

@adamconover @SomewhereinATX Yup, we could practically end homelessness, yet choose not to in this country...

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz

What an amazing development

[Taste Project @tasteproject_]

Taste Project Community Restaurant will soon have a second location in Arlington! Our 13,000 square foot space will include a dining room, covered patio, traditional and production kitchens, a culinary classroom, offices, and room for expansion. @cityofarlington

La Ciudad de Fort Worth tiene un plan de crisis y centro de calentamiento para ayudar a los residentes. Hay tres centros comunitarios y dos edificios de la biblioteca listos para recibir a los huéspedes durante la tormenta. https://t.co/fvd2xs63hj

I imagine this is soon to find its way to the shelves of @SpaceAboveUs...

Celebrating 3 years without off-street parking mandates in South Bend!

Another year of not missing them. Another year smoothing the way for more affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization.

[Loren S. @txbornviking]

9th "worst" in the nation... but also something @UrbanFortWorth created this visual a few years ago to drive home the point on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Loren S. @txbornviking]

Surely we can do better @CityofFortWorth... 28% of @DTFortWorth land used as surface parking... what a terrible use of our most valuable & economical productive land.

And heck, would @Nerd4Cities believe this is a city with no parking minimums downtown?

If only there were some quality #TransitAlternatives to the daily highway gridlock...

Imagine if @TxDOT & @NCTCOGtrans invested half as aggressively in transit expansion as they do in highway expansion, it might ACTUALLY make a difference.

[Christof Spieler @christofspieler]

VALUE URBAN DESIGN. Main Street was transformed by rail — 6 traffic lanes to 2, with wider sidewalks and new landscaping. It became a much better place, not just a better transit line.

@jahorne For months, since reading the intro, my copy has been sitting beside my chair taunting me. Its size and density is so intimidating .

@krissymmurphy Always a grand time along the Sassagoula

In 2022, @KaleyAJohnson found Carswell has long been plagued by sexual abuse and cover-ups.

From 2014-2018, 35 women reported staff sexually assaulted them. That's more than at any other federal women's prison in the US.

Kaley's investigation is here: https://t.co/r6gOodFCLl
