There is plenty of country music with good politics on the radio if you know where to look - The Chickenshack Fridays from
9a-12p CT on @wmse917fm.bsky.social and Forked Toungue every other Thursday from 10a-12p on @bff.fm are good places to start.

Somewhere Philip Bess, author of City Baseball Magic, is smiling. : )

People who say they won't vote for the lesser of 2 evils, burden us all with the greater of 2 evils.

That little pocket of density at the middle left is UW-Milwaukee, where I got my arch & urban planning degrees - a lovely place to spend a half decade.

Collapsed. The profession chugged on, companies got bigger and more complex. Consumer demand is functionally insatiable. Demands of investors around transparency increased. The legions of bookkeepers became auditors, consultants and information systems experts.

This is the sort of feature of normal American family culture you can lose sight of when you staff your newsroom exclusively with people who have been banned from attending family Thanksgiving bsky.app/profile/deli...

Could you recommend a reading or three on the power of medium-sized German cities today?

Pretty sure it is different, though close.

The Driftless Area of SW Wisconsin. The rugged topography eschews land consolidation for large-scale farming, so it remains a (relatively) progressive (and beautiful!) rural region.

He’s no Donna Shalala.

no screenshots. no clever replies. your outrage is their platform. do not platform them.

If you want to really feel the housing crisis, browse the Census microdata for LA households with lots of people in them. About 16,000 houses in LA County have three bedrooms and 8+ people.

Bertazzoni? I’ve got my eye on one. Hoping to replace my old gas Wedgewood in the next year…

Most new housing is SO boring that any “ridiculous quirk” would be incredibly welcome, IMHO.

Then you’d probably like the Mandatory Jones segment on The Chickenshack, Fridays 9a-12p CT on @wmse917fm.bsky.social - WMSE Milwaukee WMSE.org.

I pitched in at katforillinois.com/stream @katmabu.bsky.social good luck!

This has been the entire thing for months. It's better if Democrats start saying so in public.

I believe this is called, "Learning from Pritzker".

And read Outside Lies Magic my John Stilgoe before you do.

Also, "somebody showed me a Tik Tok video"

Is Cully a neighborhood, or..?

This is so, so good. Just from a basic comms perspective, but also, focusing on a nuts and bolts thing that can tangibly improve people's lives.

the plan? we combat the effects of trump's increasingly unpopular policies by sending americans checks with trump's name on them.

You can’t visit many sites on the web these days without being bombarded by ads, pop-ups, and paywalls.

We’re happy to report that there is absolutely nothing to interrupt you when you read an article on placesjournal.org. No ads, no pop-ups, no distractions. A rare luxury in online reading today.

Imagine if a water pipe broke and the water department had to ask city council whether to fix it and then spend 12 months asking everyone on the street their opinion of how to fix it before they could start work.

That's how cities manage curbs.

"We've been forced into a 'free speech zone.' Its very existence implies that everywhere else is a non-free speech zone, that there are places where our First Amendment rights do not apply."

So instead of supporting universal daylighting, Brewer is now saying that the city should instead restrict parking at corners on a case-by-case basis, such as where there's been a crash or a fatality, a position that mimics that of the DOT.

Imagine if we treated any other form of safety like this:"We should only install outlet covers in day care centers on a case-by-case basis, such as where a toddler has stuck his fingers in an electrical socket."
