Art of the Day - a city street that prioritizes people and homes rather than parking for @yimbyaction.bsky.social!

Streets make up most of the public land in our cities, they can be used for so much more besides vehicle storage.

Just saw this shared. You can see which stations stand to lose more than 50% of their funding adoptastation.org

Department of Justice declares it has a new sweeping power to use antitrust laws to regulate the *marketplace of ideas* because words have no meaning and the federal government is run by a bunch of feckless thugs with the collective IQ of hamster bedding.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Radical opinion of the day: on-street parking is a bad use of public land. Especially in extremely walkable places like @downtownroyaloak.bsky.social the space should be reserved for 15-minute parking, ride-share pickups, and handicap accessible spots.

In the 2.5 months I've worked in Detroit, I've lost track of the number of cars I've seen in the bike lanes (which includes at least one cop). What a great way for the city to warn revenue.
