Thank you @RebeccaDNELP, @MarcBayard, @KKM_Econ, and @ValerieRWilson for sharing your research and frank critique of which policy metrics need to be focused on and which "interventions" need to go away - 'methodological individualization' blew my mind because it's so pervasive.

I learned more about racial equity during this webinar yesterday than I have, in aggregate, over the past year, and I read a lot of articles on the topic. The panel was amazing - thank you @EconomicPolicy for bringing them together!

@SenKatieBritt is a racist classist human who doesn't care about anyone that isn't white and rich. Please please please hear her voice and recognize the racist classist language. She and the ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY does not care about anybody except rich white people. #racist

This week the Flint City Council unanimously passed an upzoning of many commercial corridors, making it easier for businesses to invest and to build new housing. Much credit to @EmilyDoerr's leadership in making this happen! Details - tinyurl.com/FlintZo

People assume your soft heart and gentleness must have come from an easy life. They don't know you walked through the darkness alone & transformed your wounds into wisdom, your pain into power, the mistreatment of others into boundaries, & your generational curses into blessings.

American cities have grown over time, but at a huge cost. We’ve built wide, dangerous stroads that are too expensive to maintain over time, and we’ve separated residential homes from businesses to necessitate heavy usage of those stroads. Our car-dependency is bankrupting us.

Upzoning is a necessary step in building stronger towns, but it isn’t a magic bullet. It’s the first of many locks that we need to remove and should be paired with ending parking mandates, minimum lot size requirements, setback requirements, and more. strongtowns.org/journal/2023/4…

The world needs more car-lite and car-free public spaces that center people walking, rolling, and biking.

How can we make housing more affordable? Or downtowns more walkable? Neighborhood streets safe and accessible? Cities economically productive and resilient so they can fund services and infrastructure? Here are a few ideas to share with fellow residents and public officials! 1/2

Michigan wants to talk about population growth? We don't just have poor transit here. On the whole, we have a deeply rooted culture of hostility towards anyone who relies on bus-based travel. My generation is increasingly expressing disinterest in car ownership. Listen to us.

I think this is generally true. Here's the catch for local governments.... Do cars first and accommodate pedestrians second, you'll go broke. Walkability as a side fetish is mostly a financial loser. Put people first, then accommodate cars, you'll be super wealthy.
Ryan Johnson@ryanmjohnson

It’s not just Tampa. Everyone is waking up to how deep the demand for walkability is. 92% of Gen Z would pay more to live in a walkable neighborhood. Every city is in a dogfight to become more walkable before the others do. Even if they don’t know it yet.

In 2010, Lancaster, CA transformed Lancaster Blvd. from a 5 lane road into a tree lined, 2 lane street. The positive impact was immediate with 50+ new businesses opening and $273mm in new economic activity and w/ reduced speeds, traffic related injuries plummeted.

Strong Towns is about raising awareness to the issues of North America’s fragile development style and building a bottom-up movement of people empowered to make changes locally so our places become productive, livable, and centered around people before cars again.

Without a doubt, just stumbled upon one of the most gorgeous lakes in Michigan. Nope. I'm not telling.
