@RJSWtrilogyWhen @patcarino Culture takes time to develop, as people and especially children make memories in these new neighborhoods they will become more integrated into the city-scape
English
@patcarino Seaport has a reputation for being a boring neighborhood
Which does raise a good question, do our current building designs, philosophies, etc do anything to promote culture in these spaces? It seems in a lot of cities it's the older buildings in older areas serving that role
English
The glow up Boston’s seaport has been able to achieve in the last 20 years is really incredible.
English
@patcarino And people in this god forsaken city still complain about how seaport is gentrified and has no “character” like it wasn’t a fucking parking lot before

@KingArthurWs @butleriano John Adams the second president was from Massachusetts, and the sixth president his son was also from Massachusetts
English
@butleriano It's a bit more complicated than this. The first five presidents were all from Virginia, if I remember correctly, and were essential to the birth of Liberty that established this nation.

YIMBYs, being influenced more by the left, are TERRIBLE at branding. "Abolish single family zoning" is an atrocious slogan. Negative framing, makes it sound like you want single family houses eliminated, etc.
"Freedom to Build" - positive framing, appeals to everyone.

We might have to call them “patriot blocks” in certain markets

@ArkenElAmerikan Pan-Africanism started in the Western Hemisphere, it came from black thinkers in the Caribbean and America before Africa decolonized
English
It is a strange testament to America that black nationalism (just as white nationalism) could only ever have been invented here. It's an entirely homegrown delusion. Only here have we homogenized people enough for racial rather than ethnic nationalism to be seriously entertained.

@YIMBYLAND Mamdani just needs to go full Xi Jinping to beat Adams in regards to housing. I’m talking giant government built residential housing and lengthy prison time for those who are against it
English
It’s incredible how much Adams has done to increase capacity for housing in NYC

Our city just took a massive step towards the future. For decades, the Brooklyn Marine Terminal has been a rundown relic. Now, it’s part of our ‘Harbor of the Future.’ We’ll create a modern port with the $3.5 billion vision for Brooklyn Marine Terminal that was just approved.

@clusterbitch_ The American economy is like 30% speculation at this point, I don’t like glazing China but they actually have industrial capacity

Enforcing fares is legitimately one of the simplest and most effective things we can do to make transit safe.
We have to stop treating transit like it’s some sort of de-facto homeless shelter. It has a very purpose: l transport people efficiently and safely around the city.
