@caseybanderson.bsky.social, a person who knows from public meetings, issues this treatise on why public meetings don't work and how they can work better
Opinion: The problem at public meetings isn't who shows up, but the roles that the people at public meetings are expected to play
What are planning hearings actually for?

Algorithm based feeds are toxic are tiring and nobody wants to see them after awhile.
This has been obvious from day 1 but every platform has insisted on it anyway.

Overall social media use is declining.
Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all.
A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.

Just listened to some car lobby dude say transit is a "22nd century solution" bc it takes a long time to build, which is an interesting shift from the usual tactic of calling it a 19th Century solution because it was invented before cars.
