I still have yet to hear a clear explanation of what benefit these have over a bus other than novelty factor. Not against new technology but sure seems like burning money on vanity projects

“I really want Gwinnett & Cobb to start thinking about what it would look like to have public transit in their communities that is connected to the city"

If I was the mayor of Atlanta, the poster child for ineffective governance and inability to get voter-approved transportation projects built, I might focus on getting shit built in my own city before making promises about getting my neighbors to follow suit.

The reason this place has actually stuck for me is because my corner of college football twitter made a concerted, organized effort to move everyone over here as soon as invites started going around, and talking ball is the only actually fun part of social media for me at this point
baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

Totally agree. Getting an ebike changed not only the way I get around atlanta, but my experience and relationship with the city, for the much better to be clear. Ebikes are revolutionary while EVs are a small (but important) shift in the current system.
By me this week - the happiest thing I've got to report of late, with a glorious trip over the summer to Montreal

The promise of the Beltline as a program for equitable, sustainable growth + rail expansion was intoxicating 20 years ago.
Sadly, too many leaders have allowed it to be exploited primarily as a wealth-building tool for privileged property owners, even at the expense of schools. Let's change that.

Apparently Atlanta Beltline Inc. CEO argues extending Beltline TAD/TIF would help city adapt to declining federal $ to city.
That’s almost exactly wrong & more reason NOT to extend TAD. Why give control of $125M+/year in revenue to one largely unaccountable entity spending $ in narrow district? 1/2
