Maureen gets it - we need to live our values! A review of our local gov't needs to meet & exceed good gov't values of inclusion, community engagement, a focusing of our efforts, & identifying how we're going to support and pay for it. Join our letter to the County Board! forms.gle/91xMBMXDhFGj...

I know many are looking for ways to help and support after last night’s tragedy at DCA. Volunteer Arlington and Arlington County will have more. (I’ll try to xpost) Please stay tuned as response is ongoing. Our first responders continue their work and we are extremely grateful for their efforts.

Blasting this from @volunteerarlington.bsky.social Those looking to support in response to the tragic air crash at DCA should monitor Volunteer Arlington's social media to learn the best ways to provide assistance if needed. Avoid the site to allow first responders to focus on recovery efforts.

I'm so just so sad for those who lost their lives last night at DCA and their families. I'm thankful for our DC, Maryland, Virginia, and federal first responders.

C'mon CTRL+SALT+DEL and Taylor Drift, let's get it together!

Psst.....it's snowing out there!

Happy New Year!

This seems...great! I'm excited to learn more about both the applications and dig into the new expedited site plan review process (for such proposals) that can help build more housing while maintaining community priorities for things like open spaces. www.arlnow.com/2024/12/30/n...

Housing may cost way too much in Arlington but we live rent free in the minds of our friends to the south!

With all due respect, making sure people can live here and stay here (housing affordability and supply) and if they choose, raise kids here (childcare costs and availability) should be Arlington's 2025 priorities. www.arlnow.com/2024/11/29/g...

The best time to start advocating for affordable and attainable housing in your community was yesterday. The next best time is today! nvaha.org

Don't worry, they spent 300m on electric buses!

@51stnews.bsky.social ran a survey asking DC residents: "What one change could make the greatest difference in your life?" The results: "Across all responses, affordable housing was the biggest concern by a landslide..." 51st.news/dc-living-co...

So while I doubt many Arlington folks who are following me don't already know this, joining an advisory group and contributing is a great way to make an impact locally. Like anything in life, you'll get out of what you put in...1/2

Excited for all the new connections with friends old and new!

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

This!

Not the first time a court has issued a truly bizarre decision about expanding housing options. The Circuit Court's decision on EHOs won't be the last word. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/minne...

Arlington friends: please provide your input on the future of transportation, open space, new buildings, and more for Barcroft Apartments by taking this survey by March 24th! publicinput.com/barcroft_lan...

Let's get some Arlington-flavored discourse going. What would folks like to see/like to have seen for the Langston Boulevard Area Plan? www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P... Tagging @alongthepike.com @danielweir.bsky.social @adamtheo.com @bikegillian.bsky.social @arlvagrace.bsky.social to start off.

There's something magical about prepping dinner, eating up the kitchen, then having those few minutes to yourself while you wait for the oven timer (this assumes you don't have one or more progeny running around).
