  1. OH NO!!!.... #CNN's chief data analyst, #HarryEnten seen wandering through the studio muttering "the #Suburbs were supposed to save us" over concerns that the drastic turn in partisan #Redistricting wars will make it significantly harder for #@Democrats to win the Midterms in November....

  2. With the opening of #lightRail from #Seattle to #Bellevue and #Redmond, I'm suddenly interested in visiting places I haven't spent much time in during the past 20 years: the #suburbs.

  3. Having seen firsthand how poorly Stankey runs AT&T, I'll take his concerns with a grain of salt. This move to the burbs is just a big money-grab.

    Enjoy Plano & that horizontal campus, asshole.

    AT&T CEO questioned ‘effective’ governance of Dallas months before announcing move

  4. When pro sports teams move their #stadiums to the #suburbs, do the cities they leave behind suffer? Let’s consider this year’s Super Bowl festivities. The #NFL and others are throwing lavish parties leading up to this game. Where are the parties held? In Santa Clara, where the game is played? Actually, most are 40 miles away … in S.F. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl

  5. Outdoor views from around the house. Looks like we’ve gotten two inches so far. And it appears that people actually paid attention to the state of emergency that was declared yesterday afternoon, because—in stark contrast to normal life—nobody is parked on our street. #SouthJersey #NJ #Philly #Suburbs #Snow

    "Big Car is a confederation of industries such as gasoline, auto manufacturing, car insurance, lobbyists, asphalt producers, tire producers, and others, who work together to push a lifestyle that has made us all dependent on their products...The “American Dream” had become the world’s nightmare."

  11. Dear Friends,
    Another #LongIsland #Xmas house decoration that leans towards the off-beat.
    Frankly, surprised how similar they tend to be. The #BigBox-ification of Christmas?
    It's a yard with every indication of being used and enjoyed, as indicated by the trampled texture of the snow and toys left outside, and qualifies for inclusion because of its overall cluttered look with all the non-Christmas stuff.

  12. Dear Friends,
    #LongIsland is a home of the glitzy #Xmas lights, replete with inflatables and animatronics, etc. Mostly good, and especially when they become destinations for charity! But, then there are the more modest or quirky ones. I'll try to post a few over the next several days. Happy Holidays!

  13. Why do we continue to debate sprawl vs #density? Easy: You can build #housing much cheaper at the edges of metro areas than at the center … if you don’t count the financial and emotional toll of commuting on residents. What’s the answer? Let’s find a hundred ways of making “infill” … easier and cheaper. governing.com/urban/density-vs #suburbs

  14. #California Gov #Newsom signs #ScottWiener bill to bulldoze over opposition to expansion of #housing density and residential construction projects along key rail transit corridors.

    New #Yimby law "Abundant & Affordable Homes Near Transit Act" (#SB79) creates less restrictive state #zoning codes, limits options for those seeking to stall plans, restrict density or halt new housing near transit stations.

    Opposition to legislation included exburb #NIMBY #realestate investors who fear #construction of potential seven story condo bldgs near rail transit corridors that would destroy perception of aesthetic quaintness of #suburbs like Burlingame, or Petaluma etc.

    Earlier this summer #GovNewsom signed similarly YIMBY-backed #legislation to exempt most urban apartment projects from #CEQA reviews, the state’s signature environmental protection law. “Go YIMBYs,” Newsom said when signing that bill into law.

    The state's "housing crisis" conditions in which distinct lack of rental unit availability, and #Prop13 tax measure after effects etc, have all spiked the price of basic housing options, and put vast swaths of not particularly exceptional suburbs amongst the nation's highest priced #realestate markets.

    “In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build #homes, but rarely do we talk about where we do—until now,” said law sponsoring state senator Wiener in a statement about his fourth in a decade long attempt to get similar laws passed. “SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people away from #jobs and #transit and into long commutes from the #suburbs or out of the state entirely. It has been a long road to tackling these decades-old problems, but today’s signing marks a new day for #AffordableHousing in California.”
