You know what keeps me up at night? Literally the police helicopter way too often and I’m going to lose it.

Eating stone fruit, watching fireworks from Grizzly Stadium, at the top of the spiral garage. Happy 4th.

@MarekTheBee thinking of your recent piece.

[Building Culture @Build_Culture]

The meme going around w/ these pics was: “30 people getting coffee", which is catchy.

But one of my primary concerns w/ endless sprawl is it makes drive throughs the only economically viable biz option for low margin goods, and thereby reduces everything to a purely economic/consumerist transaction (rather than loose neighborly interactions AND a coffee), plus makes the barrier to entry so high for small businesses, and the risk of failure so great, that National franchises thrive and locals never get a shot—the very people who make up our cities are reduced to consumers rather than citizens, creators, and members of coherent communities without a choice.

It’s one thing off a highway to serve people in transit and moving between places. It’s another when we load our local communities with them. We keep doing things that make even casual interactions within a community/neighborhood incredibly difficult and rare. Those casual interactions act like glue; they are what make a community feel like a community. What happens when you get rid of all the glue?

I used to have a nice Twitter bubble filled with urbanists and bike stuff and Fresno stuff, but now my feed has all this borderline neo-nazi propaganda, so…I’m probably going to take a break from the bird app for awhile.

The Calhoun Isles Condominiums - This luxury condo complex started life as grain silos from 1890 and was built into condos in 1983.

Openings were cut for the windows and balconies, and the insulation was installed on the exterior of the silos.

Yes.

LA put the major rail line to the port in a trench.

@SanJoaquinRTD I want to share a huge thanks to your service agent who helped me not get stranded at the 163 stop behind an abandoned dollar store today.

It is a good day to be wearing purple in this little Sacramento place.

TRAIN TRENCH!! Put a trail on top.

What we mean when we say that #speedkills: Higher speeds literally lead to more fatalities.
Curbing speeds - through ISA and other measures - is a proven method for saving lives.

So don't most folks see this as an urgent need?

Oh this confederate surrender day, remember that MN has this flag and we aren't giving it back

@DShapazian @mmwpro63 @AaronGilbreath Picked this up at a petunia’s place bookstore at Bullard and Palm a few months ago and would recommend, too.

[Fresnoland @fresnoland]

Could community land trusts make housing more affordable in Fresno?

@MeganTagami explores that question, how other communities are using them in California, and their limits. https://t.co/z2p9K5oVw6
