They’ve repaved the driveways, so in my view the #AvondaleEstates multi use path is substantially complete.
It’s a monumental change in street character from the previous 5-lane without continuous sidewalks.

Did you know that for two centuries, noncitizen American men in every state participated in elections?
That was, until women and Black and Brown folk began demanding their right to vote, of course.

Immigrants pay taxes, work hard, send their kids to public schools, and build better futures for their communities.

Absolutely not. The Beltline *alone* is diverting ~$50 million/year and growing from schools just from its TAD/TIF. And $ from Grady and other basic services. (And this would be even larger if corporate properties were being taxed at close to market value as they are supposed to be.)
I have to wonder: would APS be in a situation where they have to close 16 schools if they hadn't lost out on funds for the past 20 years through Tax Allocation Districts?
(2/10) APS leaders say they must “rightsize,” noting roughly 70k available seats but only 50k students, and project that consolidation could save $25M annually.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

In the short time since Denver got rid of their minimum parking requirements, they turned about half of their old parking lot into outdoor seating...
