Safe streets & Transit. People need somewhere to sleep and the sidewalk isn’t it. Believer that better more livable cities are possible. Let's stop letting perfection get in the way of progress.

We did it, and it's a good deal, although they're a pain in the ass about putting monitors in your home.

Huh, I'm in the midst of doing this now. I'll have to see about the monitor thing. That hasn't come up yet

Ah yes, I'm reminded I did a whole pod on this!
And your interview with Dan Savage, on the occasion of the twenty-year anniversary of that piece, would be a great entry point for anyone interested in Political Voltsthought.

Dan Savage on blue America in the age of Trump
Dan Savage joins me on Volts to discuss how NIMBY-captured city leadership is failing Democrats — and why making cities better is the key to building the party’s future.

So Dems just need to Make More City. And luckily, they have the power to do that! They govern almost all the cities, so they can pass policies to infill, build up, add transit, add multi-modal transportation, etc. etc. Where they govern states, they can pass state-level laws to upzone everywhere.
