Mind boggling how people can even rank pizza, its literally designed to be made of whatever you like to eat. I've eat 10 million slices of pizza and enjoyed every single one.

@wilsonvance @JimmyFitzner @2024dion Democracy is when you vote for something and the outcome you voted for occurs Cynicism occurs when elected officials and the government say they will do something and then can’t follow through because of weird hecklers.

Admitting that public participation in planning does more harm than good is one of the biggest taboos in the field. The 1970s participatory governance framework that we're stuck with has completely wrecked American cities and yet if you mildly criticize it you're a heretic
Elai@elaifresh

“Public outreach” in local government is one of the worst ideas ever The selection effects are mind-boggling Perfectly conceived to bring the weirdest, loudest, wrongest cranks out of the woodwork while ignoring normal people You’re better off asking a Ouija Board

@constans @JimmyFitzner @2024dion The aesthetics? I think people who live somewhere, who’ve put down roots should have a say in what happens in their neighborhood. What creates cynicism in the political process is limiting democracy and watching where you grew up turn into a place you can no longer afford.

@wilsonvance @JimmyFitzner @2024dion Just because you like the aesthetics of community meetings doesn’t mean they are good or helpful or lead to positive outcomes. By all accounts they make things worse and result in cynicism about the political process and make elections pointless

@constans @JimmyFitzner @2024dion You bring up one (1) good point which is that public engagement should be more accessible. It should happen at times working people can participate and also prioritize languages other than English, childcare, etc. The solution is to invest in accessibility, not limit engagement.

@JimmyFitzner @2024dion My voice is actually more important than theirs. But why should they get a disproportionate voice just because they decide to show up and yell and scream at every 2pm neighborhood forum?

Don’t get it twisted. @KCTenants is the ONLY ‘no’ org that knocked doors, sent mail, ran ads, made calls, generated 1k survey responses about what the people truly want, conducted direct actions, and held two community forums in multiple languages. The work speaks for itself.

@KCTenants was clear from the start, all the way back to 2022. Paying for a billionaire’s gentrification fever dream was not inevitable, even though people across every spectrum told us to go after scraps “cause you can’t win against that kind of money.” We took on the challenge.

WOW. Voter turnout in KC was 24.3%. For context, 13.4% of voters turned out for last year's June city council election.

Missing from the conversations about eminent domain and businesses (people) that will be forcibly removed, are the many who be quietly displaced starting tomorrow as rents and property taxes are raised. The ‘invisible hand’ will begin to crush the surrounding neighborhood at once

Here are some of the buildings in the Crossroads that would be torn down to build a new @Royals downtown baseball stadium, in addition to the old Star printing press.
