A simple way to improve American downtowns: Make one-way arterials bidirectional.
Doing so will improve safety, boost retail sales, and attract pedestrians.

One-Way Streets Are the Wrong Way to Tame Downtown Traffic
In the 1950s, US traffic planners thought unidirectional arterials were better for moving cars through urban areas. Now many cities are having second thoughts.

I just learned that several community leaders were detained this morning by federal agents apparently for their roles in the June 11 demonstration at the ICE facility.
I’m outraged.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Is there a more YIMBY city in (blue) America?
Last night, Spokane passed an emergency ordinance eliminating height limits and FAR for buildings of all uses across more than 200 blocks downtown.

In Spokane, Proposition 1 is passing comfortably.
Yes - 45,018 (58.1%)
No - 32,501 (41.9%)
This hands a big victory to Mayor Lisa Brown, as this was a cornerstone of her balanced budget proposal for next year.
