New townhomes & condos in Reynoldstown!!! On the block adjacent to the BeltLine, 1 block from a cafe, voting precinct, & rec center, 2 blocks from a park w/ basketball court & skate park, playground, & tennis/pickleball, 4 blocks from grocery & great bus route, & 9 blocks to 🚇!

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

"Homelessness today isn't just the person sleeping outside a Walmart. It's often the cashier or worker stocking the shelves inside." I joined @pbsnews.org to talk about There Is No Place for Us and the staggering rise of the "working homeless": www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I think entirely too much about how California’s climate plan explicitly says that converting to EVs is not nearly enough to meet our greenhouse gas reduction targets so we need to reduce VMT 25% by 2030, and then we do basically nothing to try to achieve that goal

“It is imperative we provide safe, reliable, and continuous bike infrastructure connecting Midtown and Downtown to all quadrants of the city, such as to the Beltline and beyond.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/11/19/m...

Okay I didn't fully understand what they were doing at the Trolley Trail crossing over Moreland until I saw this diagram...and I don't think I like it

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Ponce ramp to the beltline is finally open!!

We’re hearing helicopters and word is spreading of massive ICE raids tomorrow and Friday particularly in Gwinnett. These excessive raids put all of us in danger. Spread the word, look out for each other, and remember your rights.

"If we want a public space where you feel safe and welcome, and where you have a sense of ownership, we have to change mobility." Major changes are taking place in cities worldwide in the areas of housing, safety, and sustainability. And women are the forefront of these initiatives: bit.ly/44jk3QR

Everyone's missing the point. Suburbs aren't bad. Car dependent sprawling suburbs are bad. A lot of neighborhoods that people love were originally street car suburbs that were integrated via transit with the urban core. Now suburbs are built far out and lock everyone into car dependency

China is bringing the hammer down on hyper-fast EVs, setting a minimum 5 seconds for accelerating from 0 to 100 KMH (62 MPH). For context, the Rivian R1S hits 60 MPH in 2.6 seconds, as does the Tesla Cybertruck in "Beast Mode." (H/t @reillybrennan.com)

Urban Arrow's secret super power is to transform mundane errands into joyful adventures of urban exploring. #tothegrocerystoreandbeyond

I've been trying to fact check some of these claims and honestly they mostly smell of BS The Georgia limitation of 2 single site PSH projects per year seems related to a tax credit that has to be applied for. dca.georgia.gov/document/pub...

Look if you're gonna graffiti my street could you at least make it look nice? Not asking for the mona lisa here but just put a little effort in Also think about how it's going to look when the city makes a half assed attempt to clean it off and it just ends up looking faded.

To address safety issues (bc of drivers) my kids’ school recently changed the pick up process to get rid of the car pick up line entirely. Caregivers have to park nearby & walk up to the blacktop to get their kids. It’s calmer, safer, and bikes can still roll right up onto the blacktop.

NEW EPISODE: "The Creation of America's Car Culture." Producer Ilana Strauss talks to @norton.bsky.social about the two men who, in the 1920s, teamed up to sell more cars and shape the way cities handle traffic. Their legacy can be felt across the country today. podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/t...

Nothing is going to change until journalism collectively decides that writing this headline is a fireable offense.

The change in Atlanta city politics since I moved here is interesting — traditionally you had Mary Norwood’s (white) Buckhead vs Black southwest Atlanta but now there’s a huge progressive contingent on the east side in district 5:

Whoa! Due to high demand, our bookseller at our Vancouver show sold out of books. Our apologies to folks who wanted one but didn't get one. More will be available at Pulp Fiction Books, so head over there to pick up Life After Cars. And thank you to everyone who came tonight! What a great city.

I had a dream last night that I ate a hotdog with a loaded baked potato as the bun and ngl I keep thinking about it

We used to have these sorts of public vigils and outcries for everyone killed by a motor vehicle. Now the deaths have been normalized and we only feel outraged when it's a self-driving one...

“…it took the death of a cat to really galvanize — and divide — the public.”

defunding local schools is a horrible result for metro Atlanta. Kids can't vote and it is a real shame how few voters understand that having a representative government means voting on their behalf.

Anyone know the results of the ballot measure for the senior homestead exemption for public school funding? Can't find that reported anywhere...

they didn’t just win, either they kicked the shit out of ‘em

I'm doing more research on Direct File, interviewing people who worked on the project. Cancelling it is just an incredible own goal, not just because it allowed people to pay taxes for free, but because it was an incredible demonstration that government could build top quality tech products in-house

These are the kinds of people that make biking in this city so shit

It's not open yet, but the bike lane under construction on Juniper Street looks pretty impressive. The wayfinding signage seems like a nice touch.

five lanes empty in front of the federal reserve on a weekday morning, but unsafe for anybody to walk there because a driver might come. What a waste. Make Atlanta Streets Alive permanent, Pedestrianize Peachtree.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around. Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Just found out today I'm rich. Now where do I sign up to buy my own cable news network??

Whoa look at this cool guy I found on Google Street view wonder who that could be

End of daylight savings in theory: Sleeping in an extra hour In practice: kids are up and wired at 5AM

Over 1.4 million Georgia residents will lose their SNAP benefits on Nov. 1 if contingency funds meant to keep the program operating aren't released. Here's where to get food assistance around metro Atlanta, and where to donate or volunteer your time roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/10/29/m...

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle & go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Arthur Conan Doyle

Running for office is exhausting—but the real toll is emotional. I show up for every forum, every community, while others spread fear and hate. Atlanta raised me. I’m running on hope, ethics, and bold ideas. Let’s vote for the city we deserve. 🗳️❤️ #VoteRohit

"Simply put, the Geometry Problem is that cars are much bigger than humans. ... these physical differences mean that when we optimize places for cars, they end up not working well (or working at all) for any other mode. They become *car-only* places." Great post, lays it out very clearly.

Lmao

Why did I have to be on call the same week as an AWS regional outage 😔 It's only 10AM on Monday and I'm already on my 5th Pagerduty incident of the week...

I stopped riding at 6 months pregnant bc I had a very close call with a driver on a stretch of my work commute that had no bike infra in Denver. If I’d had the benefit of Minneapolis’ bike networks then, I could have kept riding & if I’d had a cargo bike I could’ve gotten back to the bike sooner!

New, by me, on why the City of Atlanta should not extend its TAD (TIF) districts and how it will hurt, not help, low-income Atlantans. (Bracing for a new round of ad hominem attacks from Mayor Dickens or his staff/lobbyists, but I am traveling so may not see it.) 🧵1/N

since denver launched its e-bike rebate program - the have sold 10,000 e-bikes and reduced an estimated 1,000,000 car trips - replacing millions of VMTs and reducing air pollution there are no climate silver bullets... but damn - e-bikes and e-cargo bikes are close denvergov.org/Government/A...

Parenting a toddler is a lot of fun. Truly

Well definitely not how I expected this morning to go 😂 big thanks to my amazing husband @wesley.theatl.social for towing my bike home and to the mom from my kid's school who helped drop her off this morning!!

BREAKING: marta will launch its Tap to Pay, new CQ400 railcars. bus network redesign, *and* the RAPID-A Line BRT connecting downtown to Summerhill in April 2026

Atlanta has been been rapidly gentrifying for years & seen tremendous growth in property values since 2011. Yet the public schools starve. And now Mayor wants to extend its tax increment districts, which include some of city’s hottest areas, for 25 years, diverting more $ from schools. #AtlantaWay
