This is your annual reminder: you don’t hate snow. You hate driving in snow and shoveling your parking.

By definition, a Church should be a community, a place where believers come together to worship and serve each other in service and prayer. But for so many churches, the idea of community exists for the two hours between when people leave their car in the parking lot, and when they skip out after communion to beat traffic on the way out of the parking lot.
How we build churches has a lot to do with this, since we build churches far away from neighborhoods, looking for huge lots where we can surround them with seas of parking lots.
But what would happen if we started looking at church properties as a place to build a REAL community rather than just a place for ample parking? What if instead of making church a part-time activity on Sunday, we started making parishes into a place to live out the faith every single day of the week?
This is the idea behind the vision for the New Parish Village Plan. This proposal shows how a suburban parish can be transformed into a living and breathing community where parishioners could live within walking distance of each other and start to create a real parish community.
Drawing from examples of small villages in Europe and the Eastern United States, the plan centers the church standing at its heart. Surrounded by a variety of housing types, from large houses to small apartments, every member of the parish could find a home nearby, and with public space to gather and a small retail center for a café, coffee shop, or office space, the parish could be alive every day of the week, not just Sunday.

@JacobAShell It’s a pretty nice waiting room too.

Beautiful waiting room at Moynihan Train Hall. So weird—I was told there would be nowhere to sit.
English
@JacobAShell This is such a tired criticism. Most train stations have waiting rooms with benches that are separate from the main hall. Moynihan has one too, just like Grand Central.

Our residential neighborhoods could use so many more of these traffic circles

For anyone still confused, or who claim the phrase means “different things to different people”, THIS is what globalize the intifada means - it means death to Jews.
And if every single one of us — elected and unelected — can’t understand why we must lock arms, condemn it & make “never again” mean something more than words, this society truly is lost.

@mnolangray I think the abandoned churches of the Northeast are even closer.

@2024dion Albany has struggles to save many churches in recent years. Perhaps the most remarkable is St. Joseph’s

The modern equivalent of this is a dead mall.

Always fascinated how people in the middle ages for hundreds of years just lived amongst the ever decrepitating Roman ruins. It was just a part of daily life for them.

This is the last thing Albany’s housing market needs.

Today in housing affordability news from Albany: The Senate one-house budget would authorize a tax on home sales in Albany and Buffalo. Budget bills from both houses would increase an existing tax on home sales in New York City

BREAKING: For the second time in an hour, the regime in Iran is targeting Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv, sending millions running to shelter.
Every single one of these attacks is a war crime.
Why are you silent?

Hey kids: remember your sing-songy chants calling to “globalize the intifada?” This is what it looks like!

Rabbi Jen Lader at Temple Israel told me her account of what happened: "Attacker plowed through with his car got out with semiautomatic weapons and was very prepared with smoke bonds and fireworks and all sorts of stuff.

We were seconds away from a mass slaughter of Jewish children at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, today.
We got lucky.
Next time we might not.
Antisemitism is being normalized across America by extremists on the left and the right, while too many politicians are too weak, too cynical, or too complicit to speak up.
If the center won’t confront the radicals, the radicals will replace the center.
Enough is enough.

Senator, I work for the Leader of the Opposition in Israel and I’m writing this from a bomb shelter with my children.
Israel is under attack by fanatical terrorists who want to murder us.
It never ceases to amaze that your humanity never seems to extend to Israeli lives.
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders
It’s not just Iran. It’s Lebanon. In less than 2 weeks, Israel has killed 570 people and displaced 750,000 — over 10% of the entire country. Residential buildings are being bombed with no warning. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Netanyahu’s wars.

Years from now, it will be obvious why, in this specific moment in human history, as we faced high-powered technologies and political ideologies aimed at paving the way for their dominance over humans, what emerged—what had to emerge—was an intense, global debate about, of all things, Zionism.

This is an important point: essentially banning single family rentals means that only people who can buy a house will be able to live in single family neighborhoods. This is profoundly inequitable!
Alex Armlovich@aarmlovi
Strange thing is the Fair Housing groups haven't activated yet If Congress directly banned single family renters, civil rights & Fair Housing groups would be on the warpath But it takes a minute to realize that mandating 100% owner-occupied homes = mandating 0% renter homes

The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.
Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device.
Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force.
I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects.
