@clmarohn They have that fancy sign that says that they've made a "place"! If you can name it, that's all you need to do, no? (kidding)

This street won multiple Complete Streets awards. It's a horrible & deadly stroad that separates a residential neighborhood from a DC Metro transit stop. Check out these before and after photos (I double checked -- we don't have this backward).

Dhiru Thadani: There are about 20,000 cities and towns in the US, and 9% of them are failing, usually because their original economic engine has gone away. #CNUcouncil

@clmarohn “If the City charged just $5.50/day for each of its free spaces, that would raise $6 billion in annual revenue—revenue that's currently being left on the curb.” WOW.

Straight out of the old advertising messaging strategy: "the more you spend, the more you save!" landroverhuntvalley.com/business-tax-a… Don't ask if you need a vehicle over 6,000 lbs. Just buy it because you'll get a tax break. Amazing.

@Boenau @ProfitGreenly @Boenau Google “range rover tax break” and check out the law that supports it. There’s a policy reason why there are more of these 6k lb vehicles around. Dothemath!

@Boenau Any pickup over 6k lbs qualifies. As well as a Yukon or Suburban.

@UrbanizedOkie @downesphoto @pmonies @cityofokc Can you send us the addresses that you are looking at? I think we have OKC data. Also, as a simple rule, you can do your own "value per acre" analysis for tax comparisons by just dividing the value into the acreage. Do it for this property against the houses across the street.

Controversial opinion: @cityofokc should not permit this use in the inner city. These drive thru only buildings belong in the suburbs, not the urban core.

Glad to see Indiana's GOP addressing the big, critical issues facing the state today. Almost certainly another lobbyist backed piece of legislation. We can add puppy mills to slumlords, gambling, and deadly nursing homes as a core industry in the state. indystar.com/story/news/pol…

@JimBarrows @cdempc Tracks with everything we’ve seen. We use “per acre” rather than “per foot” cause it better demonstrates the issue. Also, land is commonly broken into acre units.

On a per-square-foot basis, the dense, walkable, transit-oriented, mixed-used neighborhoods of #Brookline pay much more in property taxes than the parts of town that are more automobile-oriented. #mapoli

@unreckable @the_transit_guy And for extra fun, I put a very beautiful Italian hilltown, that's been around for a few 1,000 years (with a pop. of several thou.) side-by-side with a walmart. It helps to understand them if you've been to any of these places, but I like maps too. urbanthree.com/urban-mirror/

A casual reminder that downtown Houston has 54,000 parking spaces per mile. You can fit 3 Vatican Citys into all the parking spaces in the area shown below, or 89 Super Walmarts.

@unreckable @the_transit_guy Lots of points. For starters, the use of land for placemaking. The start of the thread was about the Vatican vs. Houston, so I used our website to put them side by side at the same scale.

This city will require owners of vehicles weighing over 6k lbs to pay an annual $500 vehicle registration fee, almost 7X the cost to register a “modest” sedan. No other US city has done something this significant yet. Via @DavidZipper. Should YOUR city? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
