Tornado touching down in Scotts Valley, just outside Santa Cruz, CA.
A neighbor has just told me that a tornado came through one of our main streets. At least one car upside down and no known injuries
Wild times. We heard thunder which is scary for us with fire. Lucky it’s very wet lately.
Police text message we just received to follow:

When I go to Guangzhou I would pass by Ruyifang Station a lot. This station is embedded in a massive web of underground infrastructure with metro lines, high speed metro lines and road tunnels all overlapping each other. As shown on this public project info board. (1/8)

Owners of even the cheapest fleabag motels know they must keep track of how many rooms they have and whether they are empty or full.
But today, the year’s busiest shopping day, most retail areas won’t be tracking how many parking spots they have and whether they are empty or full. 🧵/1

It has stations in Marin and Sonoma, based around the SMART train stations.
All bikes are electric, and quite zippy!

City Of Yesterday
As a Queens resident for over 80 years, I’m angry at the hostility of City Council members and community boards toward Mayor Adams’ City of Yes for Housing Opportunity program.

Thanks to everyone who has shared this starterpack and made recommendations on who to add.
While there are several great urbanist starter packs out there, the idea behind this one is to include:
-researchers
-city planners
-orgs
-activist creators
-official activists
-etc
