What is something you wish was never invented?

@DanReese21 It’s a great city.

What US city has the largest gap between national perception and reality? My answer: Detroit Everyone seems to think it’s a run down hell hole w nothing but boarded up buildings. In reality: > Completely rejuvenated downtown w businesses, residential, restaurants, & nice sports venues – Ford Field (Lions), Comerica Park (Tigers), Little Caesars Arena (Pistons & Red Wings) > One of the best airports in the country – Delta hub w direct flights all over the world > Tons of history, culture, and classic architecture > Diversifying economy beyond auto into tech, medical, etc. > People are genuinely nice but also super tough & resilient Of course it’s not all unicorns and rainbows. While some parts of the city are making a comeback, others are being left behind. There’s crime, traffic and all the other things most big cities battle. But if Detroit has a national reputation of 1/10, in actuality I think it’s more like 7/10.

@cityaestheticss This kind of beautiful architecture was built when individual entrepreneurs had influence, before short-sighted planning took control of our cities. Later, many downtowns were replaced with parking lots and only a few scattered buildings.

It’s a miracle that any historic building survived that era the US had of destroying urban centers just to have massive parking lot districts.

@Architectolder The issue is affordability, not lack of design.

We should be able to have these homes all over America. We would be a happier country, if we did. Is this enough for you?

@Architectolder Neither country living.

Nice little home on an acre or two of land is a nice goal for anyone. City living is not for everyone.

@Boenau The future is not bright for people without cars.

19% of people aged 20-24 don’t have a driver’s license. 30-40% of people over 85 don’t have a driver’s license. Planning and designing places that force everyone to be dependent on cars is cruel.

@elonmusk I agree with you. I call myself a blind optimist because I choose to see the good in people.

For quality of life, it is better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong, rather than a pessimist and right

@TexasTribune @KathleenHicks That’s a lot of students. Great job.

The University of North Texas announced Wednesday that it will cover full tuition and mandatory fees for incoming freshmen from Texas families earning $100,000 or less starting in fall 2026. bit.ly/4qYPxVE

Not every corporate job is a prison. If yours feels like one, it may be time to change workplaces, not assume the entire system is broken. Every job requires creating value, whether it’s corporate or small business. That doesn’t mean you’re being exploited. Let’s criticize bad cultures without villainizing all work.

@SteveOnSpeed Maslow got this right. If basic needs aren’t met, loving your job won’t make you happy. Motivation speeches don’t replace fair pay and stability. Take care of people’s needs first then talk about passion and purpose.

This may not be popular, but I'm going to say it anyway: I'd much rather work a $120,000/year job I don't like than a $60,000/year job that I love.

Never be sorry in the corporate job for… 1. Attending to personal medical emergencies 2. Seeking clarity on your role, responsibilities 3. Asking for leave or personal time off 4. Pursuing opportunities for growth 5. Prioritizing family commitments 6. Speaking up about workload 7. Advocating for fair treatment 8. Taking breaks during work 9. Not being available 24/7 10. Being yourself Remember: Your worth is not defined by your job, but by your courage to prioritize your well-being and authenticity. Stand firm and thrive unapologetically.

@berkie1 Walkable access like this fuels local economies and helps communities grow and prosper. Sadly, in much of the U.S., small businesses are being pushed out by corporate chains, which weakens neighborhoods, hurts the middle class, and makes today’s affordability crisis even worse.

94% of Parisians live within a 5-minute walk of a bakery. Proximity like this means fewer car trips, stronger local businesses, and streets designed for people and community building, not just for cars and parking.

@ProducerCities It is the same all over the country.

Chicago’s Middle Class Is Disappearing: “The middle class is declining because the top 10% is swelling” in the city, says demographer Rob Paral, “& the bottom 20% is swelling. In a place like North Center, the median income is going through the roof” chicagomag.com/city-life/chic…

@amazingmap Cities in the USA are much more scattered.

Passenger rail networks in the United States vs Europe

@SteveOnSpeed Yes, but you have to show me how.

Would you support the U.S. severely limiting the availability of AirBnBs to improve home affordability?

@oneplanetmikey This is sad.

I am disappointed in my work place today. A longstanding staffer retired and no one from higher in the ranks turned up to say goodbye. For 21 years this woman has turned up five days a week, 6:30 to 2:30 and no one up top lifts a finger to say goodbye.

@Simon_Ingari Don’t ignore the Maslow pyramid.

Resignation Letter Sir, A person can adjust to a low salary. Even if the workload is heavy, they can tolerate it. But when respect starts decreasing daily, staying becomes more expensive than self-respect. So this decision is not for growth, but for self-respect. Regards

@SteveOnSpeed I live in Texas. We have both.

If you had to live in a place where the highs are 110 in the summer, or where the highs are 20 in the winter, which would you choose?

@MiStormChasers Replicate this.

The City of Holland Michigan rarely ever plow or salt their roads or sidewalks in the downtown district. Yes, you read that right. Holland has installed a unique snowmelt system which circulates 4,700 gallons of water per minute at a heated temperature of 95°F through a network of underground tubes that would span a whopping 190 miles in total length if all tubes were to be connected into 1 straight line. This underground system can handle up to 1” per hour snowfall rates at an air temperature as low as 20°F. The system is responsible for keeping nearly 700,000 square feet of roads & sidewalks within Holland clear of snow and ice. This means that plowing & salting are rarely ever needed from the City of Holland. To read more about this, visit Holland’s website! cityofholland.com/879/Snowmelt-S…
