"Criticism can, and perhaps should, actively participate in the grander project of radical, reparative world-building, while also holding powerful actors in...city-making accountable for lackluster justice initiatives." @AnjulieRao makes revolution irresistible.

Yet more 🔥🔥🔥 from one of my favs, ⁦@AnjulieRao⁩: “No longer is this [merely] a question of who has nicer urban amenities; “who gets what” is a tired trope.” Process process process, including starting vantage point chicagoreader.com/arts-culture/b…

I think this was the pod episode where I learned the most. Appreciation to @curiousliz and @mollyali for letting me ask All The Questions.

Hey @Delta, your PHL gate agent for flight 1607 today could use some accessibility training. Playing power games with boarding access is not cool.

This is a large community, and there’s been a lot of momentum here behind work that matters. But it’s time to shift energy. Because I care about relationships and how work gets done in the offlines, I’ll be switching my short-form energy to Bluesky for now.

I keep a spreadsheet to help me remember what the heck I'm doing while I #AmQuerying, including noting who might feel really warm about the book I'm proposing. I don't wanna jinx it, but this person just requested additional materials... #AmWriting #AmDancing a little

@akgood I don't know what the sets of rules are about concrete curbs but I can tell from how we're installing them in A2 that they're less restrictive. So, yes, it'd be great to move to those instead of the traffic equivalent of this.

@akgood To some extent it's a state problem. MDOT limits the types of barricades cities are allowed to install. Actual bollards, aka something that will hurt a car before a person outside of one, are prohibited in many cases.

@sstrudeau Timely affirmation from the NYT piece this morning on Vienna as a renter’s paradise.

@sstrudeau Incentivize affordability by subsidizing some construction costs if ADU is rented at substantial affordability for X years, usually 15. Santa Cruz does. It isn’t a huge influx of units but it adds to the city’s affordable housing stock and income-integrated neighborhoods.

#A2Council In 2022, Los Angeles permitted ~7,200 Accessory Dwelling Units. Relative to total households, that's a 0.2% increase in one year. If Ann Arbor were building at the same rate, we'd be adding 100/year (we are not anywhere close to that!) 1/3 washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…

I don't think banning people from making specific, suboptimal choices is usually effective policy-making, but it's a popular approach, so I have a few more suggestions for rule-by-prohibition proponents (this is an #A2Council subtweet 🧵)
