Wow these newly proposed condo buildings in Grays Landing are almost single stair buildings, they just still have a vestigial second stair to meet code that's only a short distance from the first. It's like the buildings are trying to evolve into their preferred natural shape!

Last week's tactical cleanup was hugely productive and impactful at the Lower Beaver Trestle Trailhead! A little can go a long way, and taking action now is easy with a team! That's the Strong Towns approach.

✅Fact: SEPTA is dependent on state funding because the state legislature won’t allow special local taxing measures to support transit. ✅Fact; rural areas are more dependent on state and federal funding, receiving more tax revenue than they generate.
