Spent some time at the #CommunityGarden today. Planted some #BlackBeans and #Potatoes, and pulled up some weeds (the flowers should be popping up after all that rain). Had a cool conversation with my neighbor who is a selectboard member and who helped get the garden going again, and told him what a great job he is doing. I mean, #composters, #rainbarrels, making the #CommunityCenter an #EmergencyShelter, supporting #DatacenterMoratoriums and #SmartGrowth. What more could one ask for in a town rep!

RIP Housing Near Jobs. The fact that both houses passed it means it stands a very good chance of coming back next year. #SmartGrowth

Stadiums. Theme parks. Shiny objects - exciting! But let's not forget about our 15 Metro stations waiting to shine! It's time to invest where the future already thrives:: https://www.gchic.org/post/six-flags-closure

The #Commanders are leaving. Officials are scrambling to plan what’s next for the stadium site. But the real focus should be #TOD at Metro stations like Addison Rd & Morgan Blvd.
Let’s build where transit already exists.

“[Heidi Simon, who leads the work of the Complete Streets Coalition for #SmartGrowth America] said the administration has essentially 'taken a baseball bat to [that] shelf of resources' paid for by taxpayers, scattering them across hundreds of discrete URLs that already-overburdened transportation staffs will struggle to find — and if they can't find them, small cities especially are unlikely to be able to recreate those resources on their own.
"'[Removing this page] goes directly against the stated priority of now-Secretary Duffy, which is safety,’ Simon added. ‘#CompleteStreets is not political; it is about making sure that we are improving safety and access for all road users. ... It's disheartening to know that there are people in the trenches at the local and state level who relied on these resources to get their jobs done, and their jobs just got made harder.’"

The Case for More Housing: Shaping Sustainable Communities
Our neighborhoods are evolving, and the choices we make today about housing and development will define our community’s future. By embracing forward-thinking policies and higher-density housing, we can address the housing crisis, reduce commutes, and create vibrant, sustainable communities. Imagine neighborhoods where homes are closer to jobs and schools, businesses flourish with increased foot traffic, and public spaces become greener and more accessible. Let’s move beyond division and commit to a shared vision of inclusivity and progress—one that benefits everyone.

Let's flip this new survey from @pewresearch.
Two out of five Americans would prefer living in smaller homes, closer to each other, if schools, stores, and restaurants were within walking distance. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/02/majority-of-americans-prefer-a-community-with-big-houses-even-if-local-amenities-are-farther-away/ -
