On Monday, the @EastSideMke BID will vote on spending the first $15k for the Ivanhoe Plaza. For reference - the city is spending $15.75M for Vel Philips plaza and $850k to upgrade Zillman Park. Ivanhoe is a gimme - the easiest to convert, and envisioned since 2009. BUT… twitter.com/compujeramey/s…

Mayor of major cities in America need to embrace who cities are for. Not what the suburbs want cities to be. Cities are for people not for cars.

Why I’m Excited That My City Is Charging More for Parking

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Milwaukee, WI, is now going to start charging more for parking in downtown. Here’s why that’s something to celebrate, rather than bemoan.

Barcelona has been removing cars from key locations in neighbourhoods and turning them into green spaces. People living nearby have reported better rest, increased socialization and less noise and air pollution. Any city can do this - make streets quieter, safer, more liveable.

AI generated renderings have incredible potential to communicate pleasant, walkable urbanism to the masses. For example, I used an AI to imagine what a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood in ATX would look like… It’s so much more tangible than abstract concepts like 15min cities!

There’s a good chance that if you get off the couch and vote today, a lot of the unconstitutional nonsense in Wisconsin gets thrown in the trash can in the next 24 months. REINS Act, the sprawling gerrymanders, appointees staying on indefinitely after their term ends, etc
