@sgoodyear.bsky.social "biking is one of the most reliable sources of joy!"

@kutnathan.bsky.social asking @vanessaforatx.bsky.social about legalizing corner stores; she responded in a supportive manner. The audience vocally supportive also.

@brooklynspoke.bsky.social mentionong that one of the first steps can be allowing easier walking to schools

@kutnathan.bsky.social saying he's a suburbanite, and discussing challenges of traveling outside a car. Examples of places without sidewalks.

@sgoodyear.bsky.social saying that everyone deserves the dignity of living in a place that everyone can walk to the store to get a loaf of bread (groceries)

Hosts get a question about nimbys. @brooklynspoke.bsky.social saying one way is to ignore them. Expands on that.

Other part is when bike lanes are a concern that seems to be related to change. Saying to try to separate that concern with transportation changes. 'Stark conversations'

Discussions to the broader panel with @vanessaforatx.bsky.social @kutnathan.bsky.social and Talib Abdullahi.

Hosts discussing the parking podiums downtown, that we've eliminated parking minimums.

@cityjane.bsky.social letting them know we're the largest city in North America to have done so!

Me: a LVT would help tackle the immense parking podiums! 🔰

Enjoyable and entertaining roasting of the network happening now
