Totally agree. I don't think the city should treat these as special. It skews things. And they only represent residents, not business that are impacted by the same discussions. Maybe the association should need >50% of households/addresses voting before it can be recognized.

Sustained, economy-wide deflation is bad, but prices going down for a subset of goods or services is only bad for supplier's revenue. Prices drops because of productivity gains are *good*.

No reason to differentiate between the two entities unless you are talking about political or legal matters. Economic ones should focus on the region as a whole.

As Ludacris said, he's got modes in different area codes.

I've been inverting my thinking lately: why should this road *not* have protected bike lanes. It would be great if traffic engineers had to justify not including ped/bike infra instead of the other way around.

Its just going to be a bunch of white dudes that look like that "former antifa member" Fox news had on.

Consider federalizing the earwig national guard to assist in controlling the stinkbug menace.

Wow, this is great. I didn't even know it was on the table. Hope it helps more infill projects pencil out in cville.

And I believe they had just gotten it as a gift, were trying it out, and took one of the most important videos in US history.

But it's not "in its respective community" which is where you said schools should be located. It's on the edge of town surrounded by farms. The school has 213 students, not 4k. Students on the other side of town have to drive to the school, creating the traffic you think is bad.

Huh? In the image in the original post, do you think the location of that school is a good location?

I am confused. I do not think you understand the point of the original post. No one is promoting making school larger. We are saying schools should be close to where their students live and not on the edge of town.

But where would we put the 5,000 seat football stadium?

"center of town" means the school is in its "respective community. In the image above, is the school, surrounded on three sides by farm land, in its community? If it was in the middle of town, more kids could walk and bike, reducing traffic.

Not your problem that you got suckered by propaganda from the people who will benefit from this law?

You won't be surprised to know that the comment author is an employee of the Plumbers Union.

I've heard BBC interviews where they do that (on other topics) and then hang up/end the interview. Its wonderful.

Not to mention forcing people to move to cities they have no connection to so they can live in those houses.

This is her trying...

Seeing a 90s civic with historic plates :/

Been hassled for money by people way more in the Wegman's parking lot then I ever have on the mall.

Need more Bakfiets in the US! Pop the pup right in there. :) Burley also makes bike trailers for dogs.

Bike infrastructure is part of the resistance!

Preston should have two travel lanes on the north bound side of the boulevard. The south side should be a bus and bike lane with widen side walks. That vastly simplifies this intersection and lets you make it into two simple ones.

Yep, and that on the fence group is usually much bigger than the bigots.

DNA evidence shows human populations dropped from 100k to maybe as few as 1000 breeding pairs about 900k years ago. Sounds like a rapture to me!

If the physical condition of the mall is so bad it's hurting business, then why doesn't Friends of Cville Downtown pay for this? Payne is right on this one: the $ could be spent elsewhere and the maintenance can be done in house!

Agree. I've never heard it cited by anyone. And many houses don't have sidewalks or the HOA is responsible. Suburban sidewalks don't need frequent maintenance either so people don't feel the impact of this.

It's sad because many places (Fort Collins, Iowa City as someone mentioned) have solved all the problems the city claims prevent the fountains from being open. Sometimes hard things are worth doing!

Children still go in the fountains and have lots of fun. Other places, like Fort Collins CO, have fountains in their pedestrian malls and they are a great source of joy for families and kids and dogs. A nice place to stay cool on a hot day too.
