Another developer is proposing another data center - this time in Pike Township in Indianapolis on 7 acres of land occupied by a dense forest and television tower.
It’s critical we fight back again. Email planneroncall@indy.gov and tell them to oppose 2025-ZON-116.

Todd Rokita is the biggest loser in all of Indiana politics and that’s pretty incredible when Diego Morales and Mike Braun exist
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has filed a lawsuit against Indianapolis Public Schools over its immigration policies, claiming they violate the state's anti-sanctuary law. IPS requires legal documentation before allowing federal agencies to enter its facilities.

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘Bowling Alone’ by Robert Putnam. The book maps out the causes of the decline of social capital in the US, including mass media and suburban sprawl, and offers suggestions for how to revive social capital in the US.

Some perspective: If Indianapolis completely eliminated parking minimums today, we would be the 101st city to do so. When we elected councillors who said they’d make progressive urban reforms, we would’ve been the 36th city to do so.
I’ve gotta be honest. I’m really disappointed in the new regional center guidelines. No doubt there are some good things in there, but DMD seems more focused on making car dependency less visible instead of reducing car dependency.

Indianapolis is expanding the city’s ’Regional Center’ in an effort to promote more walkable, transit friendly neighborhoods across a wider swath of the city! You can submit public comments beginning today here: www.indy.gov/activity/reg...

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘A Natural History of Empty Lots’ by @christopherbrown.bsky.social. The book follows the author’s exploration of Austin’s urban wilds and advocates for their preservation in the face of irresponsible development.

While many of us were glued to the election results last night, another large commercial flight (UPS 2976) went down in Louisville, killing all 3 crew members on the plane and many more on the ground.

It’s November 5, 2028. You step off your plane at Indianapolis International. The TVs play the news. Andrea Hunley has been elected mayor of Indianapolis, Brandon Sakbun is the new governor, JD Ford the LT Governor.
You walk to ground transportation, where a Blue Line Rapid bus awaits.

I don’t feel like I’ve seen anything and my voter hub doesn’t show that there’s anything on my ballot

With the news that Washington Square is for sale, I can’t help but think of the possibilities for this massive blighted space.
This space could be turned into a large car free village of sorts, with a portion of the property further away from the Blue Line repurposed as a park/preserve.
