You gotta pay more for houses with walkability because we don't build nearly enough of them...
Walkability shouldn't be a "perk"
It should be the default

#A2Council I get that a height limit in the low-rise 'hoods is inevitable, but proposed unit density limits are so counterproductive. Zoning needs to be flexible, probably through the "neighborhood context" concept, to allow small apartments citywide. Make neighborhoods affordable, win elections.

There is nothing that captures the user-hostility of enterprise software quite so neatly as this prompt. As far as I can tell, it does absolutely nothing. Clicking Yes does not reduce the number of times one has to sign in. I tick the "Never again" box every time, yet it always appears again.

This is a small snow plow for sidewalks
If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?
