We explained this to Whitmire's TIRZ board repeatedly but he ignores the community. Montrose is a dense neighborhood full of streets on the High Injury Network. His TIRZ board has done so much damage to a community they are suppose to represent but they don't.
DESIGN INFLUENCE BEHAVIOR Researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health studied over 1000 streets on a quest to save lives. The result was something that any behavioral scientist or psychologist could tell you.

It doesn’t say anything of the sort. Smith just saw a 80 follower anon say so in the replies and didn’t bother reading the paper. People pay to read this dotard’s opinions!
New paper by India's former Chief Economic Adviser says the country's GDP has been overstated by roughly 22%. A fifth of the economy doesn't exist.

The Mayor has paused, cancelled and radically changed dozens of projects to remove safety improvements. This is what happens.
Years of complaints ignored. Google StreetView literally shows a temporary fix from the last time a vehicle went over. This could have been prevented if Mayor Whitmire hadn’t forced @METROHouston to water down the METRO BOOST 54 upgrades.

Gotta love that people like Matty Yglesias and Jason Furman and the New Liberalism folks fully support legalizing casinos, sports betting, weed, and so forth, but when Lina Khan says she will seek to bring the price of beer at NYC stadiums down to street level — suddenly they all become tee-totalers who are *super* concerned about people drinking too much alcohol at baseball games.

I feel like it’s time to pull the plug on this decade long McKinsey experiment.
Pete says he’s not supporting Mamdani but then says he was also a young mayor who was counted out and look at him now.

As you can see, the Democratic Party has made so much room for Zohran that they’re not gonna acknowledge him
New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing @MikieSherrill and @SpanbergerForVA as their next governors! They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

I think whatever kind of campaign glide to victory despite this kind of money imbalance is more interesting than an unremarkable Democrat beating Winsome Earle-Sears in a blue state

My hot take is the people who previously called for Cuomo to resign but are now happily backing him as if nothing happened do more to damage the Democratic Party’s brand + credibility than any prominent Democratic Socialist has.

I grew up in San Francisco, walking with my family by the Golden Gate Bridge. I still remember the thick and iconic chain railing that gave the place a sense of distinctiveness. Now the chains are gone, and they've been replaced by a soulless metal railing that's colder than a hospital waiting room. I'm sure some bureaucrat somewhere justified it with a tidy spreadsheet, but they stripped away a little piece of San Francisco's soul in the process. This is how a culture loses its charm: slowly, quietly... one small decision at a time.

Así de fácil @AlexSvarch tira las mentiras del The New York Times “Si hubiera sido fentanilo lo que estuvieran produciendo, la persona que estaba haciéndolo hubiera durado 30 segundos y hubiera caído fulminado producto de los vapores”

NEW: After GOP Rep. @brianeharrison posted on X that @TXWorkforce’s employment discrimination website contained protections for trans Texans, the agency was sent into a frenzy, guv got involved + the language was cut. More from behind-the-scenes: houstonchronicle.com/politic… #txlege

one of the worst parts about america right now is the court and justice system is completely taken over by far right activist judges and there’s not really a democrat/leftist response to this at all right now

I think some people are more upset about unusual violence than structural violence because they assume the structural violence is an inevitable feature of modern society so not only is no one to blame but, because this is ~best of all possible worlds, there's no problem at all.

Austin's police union president calling on officers to stop responding to mental health calls is even more stunning when you consider the $218 million labor contract officers just secured. Council gave officers huge raises. Now, their union boss says they should do less work.
Officers are in an impossible situation. While we’re trying to hold this city together, DA Garza is tearing it apart. The war on law enforcement must end.

This comment represents profound ignorance about both criminal law and history. No person with knowledge about the financial crisis either inside or outside US Attorney’s offices with whom I’ve ever spoken believes this..

I know our elites want to talk about everything except this, but as a historian it is my duty to tell you that in such conditions you simply cannot keep a democracy alive. It requires ever more propaganda, authoritarianism, and violence. It is is not sustainable. It is dangerous.
