I no longer have the energy required to build this account and share urbanist musings to likeminded individuals. Follow what me and my team at the Urban Design Center are up to by following our Eventbrite page. We have some fun things planned for ‘25! https://t.co/ZU3D88O1YK

@AmericanAir I’ll be contacting the NC Department of Consumer Protection and USDOT to file complaints.

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir you guys seriously damaged a 600 dollar suitcase that I just purchased before a trip (the extended handle won’t stay extended) and you denied my claim with a no reply email. You also charged me for checking my carry on and then offered to check it for free. Why?

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir You didn’t handle it with care. And you overcharged me with my bags. Never even addressed that, did you?

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir Who can I call to discuss this further?

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir This is the response. Are you saying that it’s normal for you to break a bag the first time it was used? Are your employees more likely to throw items you believe to be overpacked (even though they’re under your 50 pound limit?).

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir So are you saying there isn’t anything you’re willing to do to protect my hard earned assets and time? And what about the charge for a checked bag that would have been checked for free had I declined to pay? It’s wild that you’d ask what we want to check and THEN offer

[Will Linville @willplans]

Hey @StateFarm. 🖕🏼for dropping us over paying out 300 bucks. 9 years a customer.

[Will Linville @willplans]

@AmericanAir I got in at 7 last night and was told to submit a virtual claim. Now if I want to appeal I have to drive back to the airport by Saturday. My time is valuable.

[Will Linville @willplans]

That resulted in me paying 90 dollars extra to check a bag (both ways) that could have been free. Why not ask that question on the front end? Why say you’re not liable and in the response you allude to over packing as the cause? If it’s under 50 pounds, how did I overpack?

monolithic, sterile, and unaffordable developments are a byproduct of our corporate megaproject era

America, it is time to Lisbon-ize your urban parks and plazas.

Bring Metromover to Charlotte!

[Aaron Leibowitz @aaron_leib]

Do Miami Beach residents want Metromover? A new poll enters the fight

@damonhemmerding I understand it used to be a required trip out of the urban design program

[Will Linville @willplans]

Charlotte needs this. Lamenting what we’ve lost is a Charlottean’s favorite pastime.

Staying at a friend’s in the Gold Coast this weekend. Late century apartment that probably peaked in the Belushi Chicago of yesteryear. Outside the gym, I can’t help but think this poster reads so much of a fallen empire

The very eco-friendly, anti-global warming North Ayrshire Battery Recycling Plant---just blew up.

The amount of toxins released are equivalent to 1,000 trucks with poorly tuned diesels driving nonstop for over 10 years, according to reports.

The planet laughs at our stupidity.

[Will Linville @willplans]

@SustainableTall But how would you provide concierge trash pick up without the corridors!?!?

[Will Linville @willplans]

@JATompkins @UrbanLandInst Right. Probably too low a budget for anythig other than a TAP. Could’ve been used to fund a design competition with 10k to the winner!
