the thing is the Gateway funding is just not something that can be negotiated on. it's our money. it's appropriated. attempting to trade it for something after it's been appropriated is merely acknowledging that the grounds for freezing it are wholly fictitious. in a sane world, it's impeachable.

Can't wait for the next breathless headline that be like "White House examining paths to lower home prices for Americans"
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians.
