Thankful to live in a progressive city like Nashville that would never just end a bike lane with no warning and dump cyclists into oncoming traffic

A Valentine's Poem.

I think it would be dope if TLC had people who understand what Lime/Lyft/BCycle/etc *can be* (also what they can’t be) instead of just reacting to what they are now Also people who, like, actually use those things to get around

Amazing how many politicians don't understand that forcing everyone to own a car is an affordability issue.

The people yearn for more vehicle lanes

It’s interesting how there’s a My Ideas shaped hole in the zeitgeist

I fear that doing this before we actually investigate anything is just handing “libs can’t govern” to the mouth breathers on a silver platter

Warm(ish), sunny, and Theo’s birthday? It’s short king spring, baby

Sure, two vehicle and two bus lanes adjacent to an existing interstate works in provincial, shrinking backwaters like Seattle. A bustling, growing city like Nashville needs more car lanes, though. Sorry, libs

Theo 🤝 Biscuit

Incredible.

If Doug Burgum was put in charge of building the road network on the east bank, would we be able to tell the difference?

NY’s neoliberal governor and NYC’s new neoliberal mayor deregulating the housing market 🧐

Presented without comment

Sure, we set the planet on fire. But for a beautiful moment, we created a lot of level-of-service for Williamson county suburbanites that hate Nashville

New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes. 

Note that high street parking activity and high pedestrian activity *with no sidewalk* yield the same result. Incredible. An instant classic.

ICYMI: the privatization of public space for the benefit of millionaires continues apace

Possibly my least popular opinion (which is saying something) is that any vehicle larger or heavier than a Honda Odyssey should require a separate license class with rigorous and regular testing

Important: At my direction, @nashville.gov has allocated $750,000—and the Titans have contributed $250,000 —to an Emergency Winter Housing Assistance Program to help people impacted by Winter Storm Fern with housing payments. Let’s keep people in housing. www.nashville.gov/departments/...

Excited to learn that we’re now soliciting rezoning feedback based on who is affected and not just proximity

there are a lot of downsides to renting but i'm so glad ring cameras are basically horror stories from an alternate universe to me

The way she has a song for literally every feeling… it should be studied

“Living in America” isn’t some special award that we have to dole out carefully. It’s not a prize or a gold medal. It doesn’t hurt me to have neighbors like Liam Ramos. These people are such stupid freaks.

Can I say something without yall getting mad

This shows up anecdotally in Nashville’s pedestrian fatalities, too, and it’s at least partially driven by our exclusionary land use. Cruel, avoidable, intentional. Fixing it is a moral imperative.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

if we’re on fake lib twitter, what is threads

Left NIMBYs reading this:

gonna get through this whole thing without ever learning what the blockchain is

Nothing underlines the dichotomy between “wears cowboy hats” and “bought a cowboy hat as a bit” more than being at the airport after a beef cattlemen convention

It’s kind of great to me that leftists are like okay fine, let Spanberger cook and centrists are deciding to make common cause with Zohran. Good things are possible.

Why does it feel like they want obesity to be associated with inferior genetics or a lack of patriotism or something. Vaguely fash/eugenecist vibes but I can’t quite put my finger on it

the mayor hosting a listening party for the new Carly Rae Jepsen single on Record Store Day would heal this city

do NOT show this to the landlords running Save Our Nashville Neighborhoods

One thing that the Founding Fathers all shared in common - Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Paine, Madison, Henry - is that they would have loved posting

No one thinks less of evangelicals than Donald Trump

A woman just walked up to me in Lowe’s (I do not work there) and asked me for advice on her pantry remodel if any right wing groups want to pay me money to come talk about masculinity. I think I could help y’all.

I want to drive the mini snow plow

When Nashville gets a Super Bowl, we should negotiate that whatever pedestrian improvements they make are left as permanent

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

They took a subsurface boring every 2,900 feet. TDOT itself wants a boring every 200 feet in rock cuts. I think it’s safe to say they’re gonna encounter something unexpected.

My public comment for the Metro budget is that we should zero out whatever cursed line item NDOT is using to remove downtown mobility lanes with no public engagement, before we get a ghastly story like this

Tragedy in Playa Del Rey, as a 7-months-pregnant mother was killed by a driver while biking with her family. The baby was delivered by C-section but died in the NICU. The crash took place on Pershing Ave., where safety measures were removed in 2017 after NIMBY backlash. Donate here:

We have two years for someone to craft a 911: Nashville / Heated Rivalry hybrid. Get Ryan Murphy on the phone!

There is absolutely no replacement for 1) better roadway design and 2) fewer cars
