The statement “Don’t California my Utah” applies to days like today

It’s about making space more permeable for pedestrians and cyclists. I would have preferred ped/bike only paths. Also, your snark will earn you a lot of blocks on this platform. If this is what you want you’re doing great

I like whiskey but it doesn’t pair well with Italian food

I found that in Colorado. Never seen it here unfortunately. It’s excellent

Every wine I tried that has this certification has been excellent demeter.net/certification/

Indeed

This is a different but related issue: incremental suburban development that has no grid and misaligned streets. Street patterns like the below make it nearly impossible to build decent pedestrian and bike routes unless cities can afford to buy some land to build better connections

We need some catchy phrase, like “heal the grid” or something like that

The Colorado Convention Center in Denver is another bad example

In SLC, the areas around the Salt Palace Convention Centers are some of the worse parts of downtown. Interrupting 100 S is awful, and the 200 W underpass is really bad for pedestrians and cyclists

It’s definitely both. And I don’t know if there are workable policies that would prevent those locals from buying 50 properties

It’s both, and the order of magnitude of the issues that these villains bring is vastly different

Thank you for all you do. Happy 2026!
