It’s time to bring back starter homes! HF3895 is a bipartisan bill built in coalition and partnership with people across our state to allow for building the homes people want and need. It’s time to return affordability, diversity, and stability to housing in Minnesota! #housing

Effectively all growth in corn production over the last 20 years is for ethanol. ~20 million acres of conservation land, grassland, and soybean rotation was turned into corn monoculture that effectively strip mines the topsoil. Meanwhile it’s the most fertilizer dependent crop with only a 40% uptake rate. So ~1.7 million tons of nitrogen runoff flows into the Mississippi basin annually while also polluting their own water supplies. This runoff ends up expanding the Gulf deadzone, which is also where 40% of domestic seafood comes from. It’s hard to find a worse way to create fuel, with a wicked level of waste and downstream consequences.

45% of US corn production is for fuel ethanol and related. In other words almost half of the market is a form of ag subsidy with negative effects.

You can't plant mature street trees, but the typical American subdivision would be a lot cozier, take up less land, and cost less if the streets were ~60% as wide. Residential side streets shouldn't be designed like freeways, regardless of what your fire marshal says.

Tree canopies turn ordinary streets into living ecosystems, cooler, greener, and dramatically better for people and nature.

putting two curb cuts - for way too much parking - on 1st ave when there's a bike path there is such a recipe for disaster

Build more housing = Rent goes down. That’s the story of New Rochelle and what happens when you:  LET THEM BUILD.

Acyn@Acyn·
Pritzker: The problem is clear: rent is too high and home ownership is too far out of reach. The cause is clear, too: we are not building enough homes fast enough. In many places, local regulations have made it too difficult and costly to build new housing. Some of the rules even have shameful roots that go back to the days of redlining. Often, the problem is a failure to modernize and keep up with the changing times we live in. It all adds up to bureaucratic red tape that unnecessarily increases costs, delays construction, and frequently kills projects altogether.  For example, local parking mandates often require a uniform minimum number of spaces for every new build – even in places where people don’t have cars because they have ample public transit and available street parking. Unused parking spots add millions of dollars in costs and severely limit the number of new units that can be built affordably. Spaces for cars are being prioritized over spaces for people.  The great news is we have developers ready to build homes and Illinoisans who need them – but it doesn’t get done because of these regulations. It’s on us to help fix it.

Anne Hidalgo started with school streets. Then in an Ocean’s 11-style heist… 70k parking spaces disappeared. 50%. Turned into parks and green space and bike lanes. The greatest heist in history. And suddenly Paris is a different city….
Jonathan Berk@berkie1

Under Mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris has created nearly 300 “rues aux écoles in an effort to; improve air quality, reduce crashes, and give kids more safe spaces in their neighborhoods to walk, bike, play and just be kids. 🇫🇷

We were on the cusp of having vaccines against the disease that causes Alzheimer's, against cancer, against the flu, and so much more. Because this administration is so anti-science, we will have none of those things.
Leah Libresco Sargeant@LeahLibresco

“Moderna’s CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: ‘You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market.’ Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.”

Big numbers. Big impact. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the effects of Operation Metro Surge. What can you do? Support businesses. Donate. Volunteer for a grocery run. As Assistant Chief Gaiters said today, we're Minneapolis Strong.

Moderna was working on a vaccine for Epstein Barr virus, which is a precursor for virtually all multiple sclerosis cases. 1M Americans live with MS. Imagine being able to prevent that! 🤦🏻‍♀️
Matthew Herper@matthewherper

Here the Moderna flu data the FDA refused to review. This is the most important slide from the company's study of its experimental flu vaccine-- exactly the data FDA said it wouldn't even review. And below is a thread of relevant slides from that presentation and links to other relevant studies I wanted to bookmark. (I'm a reporter who covers this stuff.)🧵1/14
