They could just go buy Florsheims in the proper size. This not rocket science.

You don't have to have read the Constitution to know that.

Unless, of course, code can substantially reduce the need for physical assets.

What Ogles -- and others -- said about Muslims is beyond despicable. But I wouldn't be so sure that similar remarks about Jews are out of the question.

Have to keep in mind that the average voter has never heard of Miller.

Cities lose so much in property tax generation, cost of utility construction and lost transit fare revenue by refusing to allow density in most of the city

So if a country dropped a nuclear bomb on the US, it would not be an act of war? Hmmm.

I firmly believe there are people who would still be alive today if not for the government delaying the blanket 30km/hr speed limits for urban areas. More will die while we wait for local councils to act #spéirgorm

Building supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless is the right moral thing to do. It’s also the right financial thing to do, since it actually saves public money. It’s a no brainer, so don’t let wrong-headed ideology get in the way.

Tell your leaders to build supportive housing.

Why I’m voting for Valerie Foushee:
I like Nida, personally. But Valerie Foushee has credibility amongst her peers, good committee assignments, a 100% rating by the League of Conservation Voters, and she brings home federal $$$. NOW is not the time to send in someone who has to start from scratch.

Opinion | Something Surprising Happens When Bus Rides Are Free

Sorry, but this @nytimes.com op-ed on free fares in New York City, by @galvinalmanza.bsky.social, is deeply ignorant of the issues.

It proposes that pretty social justice vibes and some careless citations will change facts of math. Thread: 1/

When Buses Are Free but Trains Aren't — Human Transit I’m in Bloomberg CityLab with a piece on the dangers of applying free fares to buses but not to trains in the same city.  Key quote: When we encourage people to get off trains and onto parallel buses,...

Can buses be free but not the subway? I explained to this problem back in ‘22, and it sounds like more folks would benefit from this piece. Pls share.

It was often said that in America anyone can grow up to be president. Trump proved it and now others are trying to replicate the feat.
