@wfaach8.bsky.social The riders are ready for their 5 minute interview regarding the DART legislation HB 3187. Representative Shaheen vastly understated the impacts of his legislation. Contact us at [email protected] and we can set something up.

#parkingreform underway in Dallas! So many advocates showed up. I tried to use the "costly parking mandate" language that @parkingreform.org shared earlier today and missed, but made the point that the city's finances were dire and we needed the density to bring in revenue. That got their attention!
we’re finally at the parking reform section of the CPC meeting! Staff is starting out with their presentation. Lots of emphasis on customizability to developers’ needs and vehicle demand management.

Thread on the first Dallas CPC public meeting where #ParkingReform was on the docket! Hopefully @parkingreform.org will be able to update the tracker with good news for Dallas in 2025!

It was an exciting day in Dallas w/ the Planning Commission hearing what seems overwhelming support for eliminating minimum parking mandates to allow people to afford a variety of housing & lifestyle options.

Here’s some background from @txnewsprincess.bsky.social

How Close Is Dallas to Eliminating Its Parking Requirements?
Dallas has been discussing the parking requirements in its city code for going on five years. There now seems to be momentum to rethink the city's relationship with cars.

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs.

I have a love /hate relationship with these posts. Republicans are dumb W.r.t government debt but also debt isn't bad for the government in general.
A reminder that the Party of Fiscal Responsibility added $7.8 trillion to the debt the last time they had unified control of government.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
