One argument out there is that some homeowners object to building more housing because new housing might lower their home's value or slow the increase in value. But given the population decline projections here in Port Huron if we can't attract people to live here, home values will plummet.

Been nursing an achilles tendon injury for about a month. Rode 29 miles yesterday. That was a bit too much. But, it was so nice to get out. Great fall gravel ride with a friend.

Don't remember if I posted this, but here's my discussion with Council Member Barbara Payton. We discussed bikes and trees. Going to focus on trees. In this I argue that there were three events that PoHo's tree canopy has never recovered from.

Evidence of my first cyclocross race from last Saturday. I was so gassed at this point. My bike looks absolutely sweet, though.

Traffic in downtown Detroit in the 1920s was terrible, with cars, streetcars, pedestrians, and bikes all mixing. Detroit tried but failed to win the war on cars.
