I’m calling it now: CA SB79, which legalizes apartments near mass transit stops, will improve rather than ruin neighborhood character

Hotel Europe Building in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood. This flatiron beauty was built in 1908 and is simply stunning! #photography #streetphotography #vancouver #architecture

In the late 1980s, my childhood elementary school in central-city St. Louis dismissed early to avoid gang-related activity that occurred regularly in the late afternoon. Cities generally are much nicer and safer than prior decades.

After exploring Vancouver we trekked it to Denman Island, and stayed at this gorgeous property. Deer were frolicking in the meadow. Felt like I was in a dream. #vacation #canada #denmanisland #photography #canonphotography

My first ever book review is published at @jsepajournal.bsky.social. @ctburks.bsky.social and I reviewed Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor's seminal work, "Race for Profit", and offered key lessons for public administrators pursuing social equity in housing policy: jsepajournal.org/index.php/js...

View of Vancouver from my window seat! Gorgeous city. #vacation #familyvacation

Congratulations!!🎉👏

Salivating!

Congratulations, Nolan!

Haitian immigrants are eating your pets!

Brint Milward’s cautionary insights about the hollow state and public service delivery are worth your time.

This is the song that doesn't end.
Yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
Some people started singing it, knowing damn well what it was.
And, they'll continue singing it forever, just because (White supremacy is one helluva drug)...

With improved housing policy and more housing options, CA will soar to even greater heights. Thank you for your leadership!

Looks bomb my dude!

Good work, Senator!

New Public Service paradigm needs to contend with the reality that broad swaths of U.S. society openly reject the notion of the public good.

Radio Free Europe is the obvious answer but Moral Kiosk is the deep cut jam on this record.

Regressive tax hike on everything you buy plus tax cuts weighted toward the wealthy plus increased deficits plus slashing cuts to all public services and the social safety net... this is a very bad combination.

Need more urbanism in children's books and toys. Farm themes are overrepresented. Everything seems to have either a cow or sheep involved.

Now Playing - Morrissey, Bona Drag (on beautiful teal colored vinyl)

YouTube video by John Long West Side Story - Cool (1961) HD

My son got vax shots and I’m singing this West Side Story banger on repeat to keep the fever at bay. “Keep it cool boy, real cool.”

What makes the subway fear mongering especially stupid is that riding public transit is much safer than driving! Statistically speaking, you are much more likely to get injured or perish in a car than riding transit.

From the same people who deny socially constructed aspects of race, gender, etc.

Alvvays is a Canadian based band with a dreamy indie rock vibe that I can’t get enough of! #vinyl #alvvays #indierock
