A big day for Colorado DAs and the communities they serve. These dashboards will be great tools for communities to better understand the impact of prosecutorial decision making and inform discussions about equitable justice, community well-being, and public safety.
Colorado District Attorneys from across the aisle convene to unveil new #datadashboards, a resource to improve decision making and #transparency. @ThePPIs @Microsoft @FirstDAofCO, @DenverDAsOffice, @DA8Colorado, @DA18th and @DABoulder20th

SPUR's new Digital Exhibition, Re-Envisioning the Guadalupe River Park, is now live on our website! This exhibit is the culmination of years of research and conversation about its future. Check it out at the link below spur.org/guadalupe
Very into this city planning exhibit @discoveryplace! We are really channeling our inner @SPUR_Urbanist today and I’m all for it!

You cannot be a "Climate Mayor" and still force communities to fight for years to convert a few parking spaces for private cars into sustainable infrastructure that serves everyone.
(3/3) This position will carry forward our work around Guadalupe River Park, advance our research on slow streets and shared spaces, develop an equitable 15-minute neighborhood plan for San Jose and much more. You can learn more about the role here: lnkd.in/gJhkFtU.
(2/3) It has been a privilege to work at such an amazing organization filled with some of the brightest minds I have come to know. AND this means we are hiring for a new Community Planning Policy Director!
(1/3) After nearly three years of living in the Bay Area my family has decided to relocate back to the East Coast. We have landed in Charlotte and are excited to be living in one of the fastest growing US cities. With that said, I will be leaving SPUR at the end of September...

The BIG Q: “As @CityofSanJose works to build a more sustainable and vibrant downtown, how might we shift behavior around how people come to and enjoy events at the SAP Center?” @MHuttenhoff #DTSJ spur.org/news/2021-05-21/tra…
What if we address the economic impacts of systemic racism head-on, so that poverty, homelessness and hunger are rare and episodic, not a permanent way of life?
Follow @SPUR_Urbanist to reimagine a Bay Area where we close the racial wealth and well-being gap

Encampments are only the symptom. Demand every single affordable development includes ELI. Fund it. Prioritize PSH in every city. Demand it. Raise minimum wage. Fund UBI. Use all the hotels. Services, yes. Stop talking about moving camps. Demand we solve homelessness instead.

“With federal dollars flowing into cities, we must now leverage the momentum to build back responsive, community-led public spaces that can be a vehicle for communities to address equitable development.” @lillyweinberg @knightfdn @citiesforpeople knightfoundation.org/press/r…

The failed F-35 program is costing us $1.7 trillion. That's enough to house all homeless people in the United States 28 times over.
Fines and fees are an often-overlooked aspect of California’s criminal legal system. A recent SPUR forum took a close look at the role these charges play in a starkly inequitable, illogical and unjust system. Check out our article here spur.org/news/2021-02-09/how… @SPUR_Urbanist

"Cities can make parks feel safe and accommodating for housed and unhoused residents alike".
Thank you @citymonitorai for highlighting SPUR & @citiesforpeople 's new toolkit which teaches our communities how we may coexist.

What if we designed spaces that acknowledged homelessness instead of ignored it? Proud to have partnered with @SPUR_Urbanist on a new whitepaper and toolkit on the topic. Check it out! gehlpeople.com/blog/homeless… @5km_h @eamon_s_oconnor @MHuttenhoff
The most rewarding initiative I have worked on! It also made me acutely aware of how little we engage with people experiencing homelessness in community planning. I hope you find joy in reading this report & ideas for achieving coexistence. Thank you @knightfdn for the support!
For unhoused Bay Area residents, parks & plazas have become places to live. For others who use these spaces, the presence of unhoused residents can feel unwelcoming. How can we all coexist and find joy, belonging and safety in public spaces?
