there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Come out to Loop de Ville this Saturday! Circumnavigate Cville on a our wonderful trail system with fellow walkers, runners, or bikers.
It will still happen in light rain, so join for any or all of the 20 miles! Snacks along the route & a big party (with a GONG) at the end.

New mixed-use building on Broadway in Lakeview that retained some ornament and design elements from its much-smaller predecessor. Turned out well!

People oppose bike infrastructure because “not everyone can bike”, but you don’t have to bike to use it. I commonly see mobility scooters on bike infrastructure here too.
It’s typically smoother and wider than the sidewalk. As long as there’s enough room for everyone, it works fine.

Always good to rewatch and share the @livablecville.bsky.social webinar about missing middle housing and density. All of it is worth watching but especially the convo starting around min 17 about how building housing at any level helps demand at every level.

Natalie says public housing isn't enough. Says rent control isn't enough. Says we have to let the market build. Allowing developers to build takes that off the city and contributes to the tax base. She gives examples of developments that would increase revenue.
