I’ll say it again. There IS such a thing as “vertical sprawl.” It’s not tall buildings. It’s tall buildings IN CAR-DEPENDENT SPRAWL.
If you do tall buildings in walkable, multi-modal urbanism, then it’s VERTICAL URBANISM, not vertical sprawl.
Suggesting otherwise means you don’t understand sprawl.

I thought at first this might have been a hoax screenshot, but it's not. I checked out Massie's account on Xitter.
It's really his account, and he really did tweet that.

I see reports that Trump told a Palm Beach police chief about Epstein in 2006.
What I'm *not* seeing reported is this was not to turn in a criminal, but part of Trump's campaign to undermine Epstein's credibility, as he feared Epstein would out him for money laundering.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”
The Trump administration has revoked the key rule allowing the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. What's next? A big, stupid mess, reports @mollytaft.com:
The Fight Over US Climate Rules Is Just Beginning
As the EPA moves to roll back the endangerment finding, which allows it to regulate greenhouse gases, experts predict uncertainty for business and a protracted legal fight.
