Another realization from last night - altho probably obvious to most: 2024 will be an open election, again like '08, '16. It is not clear who will be in the field as top contenders. It will be basically another 4-year campaign. It will never stop.

The #rangers were so jinxed by 2010 and 2011 that they tore down a perfectly good baseball stadium and built a new one. Turns out it was a good call…

We all need to slow down. Every 5 minutes, a crash in DFW. Every 12 hours, a fatality crash per @NCTCOGtrans #1 cause = vehicle speed

If you're citing Houston as a model for zoning, I say no thanks. And I don't trust developers to build necessary off-street parking. If that were true, we wouldn't have so much spillover today, because they would have built it in prior projects. candysdirt.com/2023/08/16/dal…

@stevehind Absolutely! Safe Street Rebel has staged many protests to highlight the dangers of human drivers such as Just A Minute and Great Walkway slow rides. safestreetrebel.com They’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, so I’m not sure what makes the cone protest “newfound”.

Wait no sorry those were human drivers! But all the newfound enthusiasm for road rule observance should transfer right?

even more unbelievable driving by AVs today: * One had its music on so loud it was setting off car alarms as it slowly did laps of the neighbourhood * A swarm of about 20 drive down the oncoming lane doing wheelies at Crissy Field * one stopped in crosswalk to take a phone call

@caraathome @AirspeedParker I see. So when you say property rights, you’re referring to rights over _other people’s_ property. That argument applies to any zoning changes, regardless of whether they’re enacted at the state or local level, doesn’t it?

@dgouldin @AirspeedParker The rights of the neighbors to enjoy a single family neighborhood, which was in place when they bought their property. This effectively removes all single family zoning and converts it to multifamily zoning.

@AirspeedParker People made an investment under a set of rules that said only single family housing. Lawmakers should not override their property rights and change the rules.

@caraathome Does that timeline (May-Sept) apply to school zone signage as well? I'm still pushing on the city to respond to my request regarding the Haggar ES school zone.

We're in a full city council transportation briefing talking about a variety of initiatives. Just a reminder if you see a street or crosswalk that needs #PavementStriping, call 311 or use OurDallas app. Now-Sept are pavement marking season. Get your project on the list!
