New video! Raleigh, NC is a great case study for a mid sized city dealing with a housing crisis. I got the opportunity to interview the exiting mayor and former city councilmember, @maryannbaldwin.bsky.social on the subject. This is my longest video yet! Watch now: youtu.be/98cwl6QJ7EU

100 percent support this big idea. Multi-generational housing can bring support to seniors and young people, building community. Thanks for always thinking big!!
The commissioners, along with a few neighbors who spoke in opposition to the Gordons’ request at the meeting, seemed most concerned about the wide range of retail uses permitted by residential mixed-use zoning.

This has been more than a decade in the making. Can’t wait for Smoky Hollow Park and a beautiful gateway into our downtown…And a wonderful amenity for the most densely populated area of our city.
Council authorized the selection of Clancy & Theys Construction Co. to be the Construction Manager at Risk for the Smoky Hollow Park Project, a new 13.7-acre park located north of downtown at the intersection of Capital Boulevard and Peace Street: go.boarddocs.com/nc/raleigh/B.... | #Raleigh

Watching this made me sick. Saying he supports police but pardons the Jan. 6 cop beaters. WTH?
Trump doesn't get to talk about supporting police officers when he pardoned cop beaters in his first week on the job.

They wanted Trump to win and now that he won they can accurately report on the state of the economy that Trump is inheriting from Biden
For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...
Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story.
President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
