Average 1st time buyer is 40. A 50 year mortgage is economically stupid, and is the concept of home ownership really the American Dream we think it is?

That sounds awesome! I don't smoke, don't dip, drink rarely, very much not over weight, but I have degenerative eye conditions. Where do I fit in? Do I get the discount or the higher premium???/
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

I'm so blessed & thankful to live in a walkable neighborhood on days like today when it's been a very rough vison day but my wife asks me to go pick up a few items from the grocery store. At my old house I would be stuck with Uber/Taxi as only option, but here I can just walk a few blocks!

I've talked about my problems reading paper books due to vision issues before. Found a signed copy of a book I have been wanting to read for a while the other day & it's hard to read. This is where my Magna Pro led magnifier saves the day giving the assistance I need in an easy to use tool!

This is a good idea. A few years ago I interviewed three year round bicycle riders to find out what they wear in the winter. Their list may differ from yours or David's but is a good start. Check it out. e-bikekc.com/2019/11/06/b...

Time to fill out the Kansas City Resident Survey to let KCMO know what I think of their services and state of the city.

Talking about perfect timing: Aventon launched an e-bike trade-in program last Friday. They are offering riders a $200 bonus when trading-in an e-bike, *including Rad Power Bikes*, toward a new Aventon. It appears that the trade-in credit might be able to be stacked with Black Friday deals as well

I fear KC is going to see displacement on a massive scale come World Cup as resident leases are not renewed in order to make way for short term profits.
The Kansas City Council recently changed certain rules around short-term rentals to make it easier for residents to host World Cup visitors next summer. And dozens recently attended a "crash course" to learn how they can capitalize on all those visitors by offering their own rentals.
Kansas City needs short-term rentals during the World Cup. Residents are learning how to host

While I don't agree with TV show persona Duffy on why, I do agree that people should stop wearing PJs on trains and airplanes. Not because it leads to anger & crime, but because you look stupid. Have some self respect, & respect others & the public space around you.

Today was lovely to ride bikes and shop for others. We had a great turnout as hundreds showed up to the event. We even set a new money donation record. Food donation numbers will come later! #CranksgivingKC

For all the bitching & moaning about road diets & bike lanes, something I never hear is drivers complaining about on street parking taking away traffic lanes. Case in point, Meyer Blvd is 4 kane but effectively 2 lanes due to all the parking. Also everyone here has massive driveways, why park here?

Rode the new Broadway Blvd configuration today and wow it's not even finished and already a noticeable difference in feeling of improved safety and flow. The new angled parking gave me room to ride without traffic pressure while the two way cycle track is being finished on the other side! 🚲👍

It's painful to read plans from a century ago that perfectly formulate how to build a world class transit system yet today we still need years of redundant studies to even build a bus lane

Repossessions and defaults on auto loans once again and this isn't good.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I'm a really slow rider and there are absolutely places in KC where I have to switch to sidewalks because people in cars will behave in very, very unsafe ways around me. there's no winning when there are no cycling lanes: i'm either slowing down traffic or i'm scaring pedestrians.
A cyclist on a sidewalk is usually a symptom of bad infrastructure.
As I often say, cyclist vs. pedestrian conflicts arise because both are fighting over the scraps of space not occupied by cars. But what if we took that space from cars to make biking, walking, and rolling safer?

my hot take as a full-time pedestrian and transit rider is that i want cities to do the absolute maximum amount to provide cyclists with safe and protected bike lanes everywhere so that i don't have to feel the least bit bad for kicking one off the sidewalk into the street
