Everyone: why don’t kids go outside anymore? Cities: 🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷

One of the things I’m thankful for is the effort Salt Lake City has made over the last 150 years to protect the watershed and keep public lands public.

Some of the greatest hits by the Utah GOP, all in one article: 1. Baseless fearmongering about Utah turning into California 2. A disdain for voters being able to choose for themselves. Classic

Everyone here feels the same.

A thread on Rad power bikes and their batteries.

HOW DID UTAH WIN THIS GAME?

Good news: I am going to save a ton of money not traveling to watch college football in December.

If this is KWs last home game, the irony of the defense not showing up at all is a tragedy. Turn this around #utes Let’s Go Utah!

Up to 340 yards now. Utah definitely not prepared to play today.

Nearly 200 yards on the ground for KS, are they playing their best game of the year?

Too many missed tackles for Utah, time to step up.

Utah Legislature already has 31 bills related to elections, referenda, signature gathering, etc. going to be rough session for those that support government of, by, and for the people.

This response is perfect.

Pushed to December and at least it is currently snowing, but being at about 20% of normal right now is not good.

This is why she is the best and should actually run.

Nate Johnson, that’s a touchdown.

Utah, we need to have a conversation. Give em the Byrd!

That was a bad read by Dampier. Got to trust that end to seal the end and force him inside, Bray would have had a big gain.

The utes not looking good to start this game.

It isn’t just in cities. “Even though he has a full-time job, works part-time in emergency medical services, has zero loans and doesn’t have high balances on credit cards, he can’t afford to buy or rent in the western Utah city of fewer than 4,000 people.” www.sltrib.com/news/2025/11...

the first naval officers to get married. Stalwarts of the Utah Democratic Party. She was awarded the lifetime achievement award by the Utah Democrat Party,served for 50 years in the Utah Democratic Women’s Club and the Utah League of Women Voters. They would be FIRED UP today. Also my grandparents.

I can usually get by with a thin base layer for my legs, windbreaker shell pant, a puffy under a thin windbreaker jacket, winter boots, mittens, and my ski helmet with clear goggles. If it’s less than 20F I’ll just throw my ski pants over my work pants. Commute via ebike.

SLC is 16th on this listed posted in this thread with rents 6%. Build more supply to exceed demand, it lowers the price on older apartments.

I don’t think Alta is going to open in 11 days. Or by Thanksgiving.

I’d rather rely on infill housing than 50 year mortgages.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

I think this place is going to make it.

If you hate the 5 over 1 apartments, then single stair is for you. It fits SLC typical lots, 40-50’ wide and 100’+ deep for flexible building siting, can be safe, usually are better architecture, provide more daylight to each dwelling, and are far more livable.

Didn't take SLC long to find a new temporary use for The Leonardo, following the museum's closure earlier this year. Downtown Farmers Market says it will run its Winter Market there, beginning Nov. 15:

High quality space

It’s too bad they couldn’t pull off the rooftop, outdoor theater but this is a huge win for preservation and livability for the neighborhood.

Not every office can become housing, but Salt Lake City sees any conversion as a win.

An incomplete list of cities where housing abundance was a major campaign issue & pro-housing candidates held or expanded majorities: - Bozeman, MT - Cambridge, MA - Durham, NC - Kalispell, MT - Littleton, CO - Manchester, NH - Missoula, MT - Salt Lake City, UT - Seattle, WA - Wilmington, NC 💪

The official website for The White House has a timeline for the history of changes to it. It includes these. www.whitehouse.gov/About-the-wh...

District 1 is super tight in the early results. Victoria Petro, the incumbent, leads Stephen Otterstrom 53% to 47%. Erika Carlsen opens with a large lead for District 5, the seat vacated by Darin Mano. She leads Amy Hawkins 66% to 31%

A large cheer just erupted where I'm at in the Avenues, as District 3 incumbent Chris Wharton takes a pretty solid lead in his race Wharton - 44% McClary - 25% Huntsman-Hernandez - 18% As it stands, Wharton would win 51% to 28% over McClary in a third-round runoff

Pro housing wins. Will be interesting to see local results in Utah.

Woah, this is a great position for the Utes with two losses.

The Open Class Room charter school should just move to one of the closed schools permanently so that housing can be built on the current site. Here is the current site:

To save enough for a 10% down payment on a median priced house in SLC you would have to cut the equivalent of 12,000 cups of $5 coffee. At one coffee per day, it would take 33 years if prices stayed the same.

It’s not the boomers. I’m in the wrong generation.

From: @alexbozikovic.bsky.social: "Our building codes require every apartment to have two separate... stairs. If you eliminate that rule... everything changes. Buildings become... less bulky. Apartments gain light and fresh air in every room. This means a dramatic improvement in quality of life."

3,000 fewer students in the SLC School District this year compared to 2020, with a 5% drop from 2024 fall enrollment to 2025 fall enrollment.

Let’s go Blue Jays!

Surrendering to the fact I have an hour left of this meeting.

With the Manito Six in Spokane, we have proof of concept that stacked flats are viable to develop, give residents a wonderful quality of living, and fit nicely in established neighborhoods. Contact me about bringing stacked flat/middle housing to your neighborhood!

1-4 on fourth down, two turnovers, 11 penalties. Not going to win with those numbers.

Kick the field goal. That’s 6 points off the board Utes.

AFTER 2 WEEKS WITHOUT PAY FOR TSA, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL: The Salt Lake City airport, which the city owns, filled a hallway of its offices with free household items, including dried and canned food, diapers, hygiene products and pet food; gift cards next utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/10/16/s...

A story old as time.
