I really don't understand why they didn't make the developer of those modern homes to make the sidewalk wide to the same width of the planned Trolley Line Trail.

The proposed $2B is nowhere near the cost of all transit projects.

Jesus Christ, Atlanta Police on a power trip today, blocking the marta bus I'm on from using the roundabout under I-85 and waving through cars instead.

That is not how traffic works, but I would not expect APD to know traffic rules or to be helpful towards society.

I've seen this same sentiment when it comes to PSH in Kirkwood. The 'yard sign progressives' don't care about the vulnerable residents in their city.

not the only factor here ofc, but we have so completely “othered” homeless people that there’s a ton of democrats who do not believe they could ever be homeless, even as trump actively crashes the economy, criminalizes being unhoused, and wrecks the nation’s safety nets

Reading about Democrats who agree with Trump's plan to forcibly commit homeless people

I see CPD has lowered their standards of acceptance.

'Training'

Nostalgia should not stand in the way of progress.

I've been at Grady the past 2 days and can claim it was not overwhelmed by 'undocumented immigrants' but rather Americans seeking healthcare.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 7d

The vice president, who previously asserted that undocumented immigrants were eating our cats and dogs, has now settled on the lie that undocumented immigrants are eating our health care.

All politicians lie, but he's really elevated it to an art form.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Mayor of MARTA @mayorofmarta.bsky.social · 7d

Thankful for Grady, but fuck Atlanta.
