@SecretaryPete I should also add, that I'd love to see you succeed in doing so.

@SecretaryPete I'd love to see you practice what you preach.

@bing no longer registers searches on app (iOS 14.4.1) for #Microsoft Rewards. How does this app get worse with 5th update? Newest UI refresh also takes out tabs. Come on. @Microsoft get your act together...

I think this is more achievable. Although I've never been to Melbourne, it'll have to be added to a places I'd like to visit post COVID

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

By Comparison, a “City of 20-Minute Neighbourhoods” (a core of Melbourne’s city plan) sets a different definition of success — MOST (not all) things needed for a good life within a 20-minute walk, bike OR TRANSIT RIDE. 3 important differences that affect/reflect a different city.

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

I'm sure @HaveAGo agrees

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

If you’re still wondering what a “15-Minute City” really means, at least as proposed by Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, it’s really simple.

Everything you need is available within a 15 minute walk, wheel chair or bike-ride from home.

Everything.

NOT by car trip.

Not even transit.

Unincorporated areas of Alameda county have been a destination for low-income people of color displaced by rising rents, with implications for services and access to opportunity https://t.co/w1mY4J2kly @UCBDisplacement

@hslatkin would you know of any branch of @nycgov that would have #architectural plans or #construction plans for the Bank of America at One Bryant Park tower? Could not find in #zola or @NYCDOB

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

@OneBryantPark are there any architectural plans for the project that students can access? #Construction of this project is of great interest to me - planning to write a report on some of the components.

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

@ArchDaily Any chance one can access architectural plans on this project? Like some of the images in the gallery.

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

@NYCPlanning If only the @NYCDOB website wasn't constantly being maintenanced or out of order.

@sayrer @yeekaychan Just cunch the numbers again... DID IT HELP?

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

I request a #graduate students version of this... Have a feeling the results may differ. Also, happy to know @Columbia may actively be trying to create space for students - @gsapp_planning may be of service !

@Noahpinion @eean Well, nobody’s perfect. My theory is that lots of great cities, like New York, charm you at first, then slowly reveal all their bad parts over time. In L.A., you see all the bad stuff at once, so the love that comes later is more realistic. Or something.

[Varand Onany @voaVarand]

@Noahpinion @TaupeAvenger @laura_nelson @eean I cracked HARD at this comment. I'm an Angeleno, but I love Philly. And LA.
