@HamptonPrezcott I can't even imagine who works in those downtown buildings now or why You'd have to pay me a minimum of $250k for a job I'm not qualified for to make me even consider commuting down there

@Ripburger Atlanta was the original version of this dynamic, stretching back to the 2000’s when office tenants started leaving Downtown en masse

There was an article documenting this last year in TRD, and the below encapsulates the trouble with this trend. Most of these “second downtowns” don’t have anything approaching the infrastructure necessary to handle being the “office district of choice” therealdeal.com/magazine/july-…
ONLY SAYS CALM DOWN@ONLYSEZCALMDOWN

@HamptonPrezcott in Denver there is a second "downtown" in Cherry Creek with residential-width roads. It's safe and clean-ish, so it's choked with traffic and office rent is $100psf. Denver's downtown collapse was a policy choice

@mainey_maine Underfunded by whom? You know who funds a city's budget? Its resident taxpayers. Looks like they only have themselves to blame if that's the case

My thing is that City of Memphis is intentionally underfunded, and underinvested because it’s a majority Black city. The president legit sent the national guard to Memphis to intimidate because it is predominantly Black city

@HansMahncke Remember that time the USS Enterprise slingshot around the sun so fast that it sent the ship and the entire crew back to the 1980s?

Hans Mahncke@HansMahncke·
Seeing a lot of tweets that show people don’t realize everything Artemis 2 is doing, including calculating slingshot trajectories with no margin for error, was already done in 1968 and repeated multiple times afterward, including in 1970 when they had to recalculate and execute a new trajectory 150,000 miles from Earth with engines that weren’t designed for it because part of the spacecraft had exploded. All of this was done with computers that had 100,000 times less memory and 1,000 times less processing power than an iPhone. It’s great that it’s being done again, but the real mind blowing thing is that the exact same thing was done 58 years ago with far less technology.

@TNCannuck @CaseyMattox_ You are free to think the authors and ratifiers of the 14th intended for that clause to give every foreign baby born here the same rights as those whose ancestors have been here for generations - but that just makes you a lunatic.

@Ripburger @CaseyMattox_ You are entirely free to hold the opinion that birthright citizenship is a bad policy. Now, the implement your policy preference is easy: You just need 2/3 each of the House and Senate, then 3/4 of the state legislatures.

@CaseyMattox_ I like the Constitution, but if it gets in the way of preventing birth tourism, Chinese billionaires farming US citizens by the 1000s, and a single anchor baby granting generations of foreigners access toour welfare system then it's not worth a shit anyway. Time to start over

I’m quick to call out political shortcomings, but let’s be clear on advantages - unparalleled # of quality restaurants, private schools and private clubs per capita (unlike Miami & Dallas for the latter 2). Ability to live on a multi acre estate 10 minutes from a high rise, etc.
nom de guerre@real_ndg

@HamptonPrezcott Atlanta is big. That's it. There's nothing attractive about it. Dallas is even less scenic, but it has zero income tax and is in the middle of the country.

@ClayTravis I had my Uber driver drop me off at the International Terminal for my domestic Delta flight to Richmond this morning. After checking my bag and going through TSA Pre-Check I was on the other side in 16 minutes 😤

@BuckThrockmort I remember a Fox News interview from the early 2000s with Lindsay Graham advocating for yet another war. When asked how to pay for it, he said by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse I'm like wait a minute, if we can actually do that how about we do it without the war? 🤔

@HamptonPrezcott What's your thought on Burt Jones vs Rick Jackson? Obviously Raffensburger is a non-starter and Dooley isn't getting any traction

Georgia’s GOP is dominated by a stale chamber of commerce style of politics, an obsession only matched by their enthusiasm for dumb personal fights. Ofc, Georgia Dems are dominated by grifters, scamsters and incompetents which greatly helps matters.
Red Eagle Politics@RedEaglePatriot

Georgia's gubernatorial race may be one of the best Democrat hopes for a flip into their column, so it's important we nominate the right candidate that not only win, but keep it winnable for Republicans in the future.

@julie_kelly2 Didn't he also knowingly let innocent men spend years in prison because he didn't want to expose his corrupt Boston agents' relationship with Whitey Bulger? 🤔

Robert Mueller had a lead role in the most destructive lies of the 21st Century (so far): WMDs and Trump-Russia election collusion. He is responsible for destroying countless lives while deceiving/dividing the American people without consequence. One of the most malignant figures in U.S. history.

@HamptonPrezcott It's not as easy as it sounds! Cobb pulled a real coup taking the Braves from Fulton - if you look at the terms, for relatively little. I grew up in East Hillsborough, wife is from Ft Lauderdale. Much trickier to pull of for baseball in Tampa or Miami/Ft Lauderdale/Palm Beach

You can get away with a bad stadium location for the NFL, you absolutely have to nail location for a product with 81 games a year and being located far from the median fan is what has harmed the Marlins and the Rays (and the Braves before they moved to The Battery)
Mike@mhc_76

One of my bigger takeaways from this WBC is how much of a travesty it is that the Marlins are so incompetent. Miami could be such an electric baseball environment if they were consistently good and playing in October. Instead they've been actively trying not to win for 2 decades
