The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

There’s also a 2 year+ long tactical urbanism project that is attempting to ensure drivers stop driving & parking in the protected bikelane on Blaisdell.
The city solution (yellow flex posts, then nothing for years, then more yellow flexposts) keeps getting destroyed.
But cones survive!
