Ok here’s a thread of speaker’s comments. If you are concerned about public transit, bikeways, over policing, read more below
This evening city council session has over 250 minute worth of speakers. So many are speaking on the pride crosswalk that the city secretary is calling speakers and begging them to surrender their time and “group your comments”- not happening!

![Comic. [two connected spacecraft hovering in space above the Earth] Houston, the view is superb. We can see the continents spread out below us, right where they’ve been since the Earth formed. [caption] I still can’t believe we developed spaceflight before we figured out that the continents moved.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreicp2ka5asjgkmgfdfj33vnjb5bbvk3vnyao6ju5kipxcdc23pqasm@jpeg)

Sad to learn City Cast Houston is closing shop. When KUHF introduced Hello Houston this year I slowly switched to City Cast for my lunchtime listening. I enjoyed City Cast Houston’s low key vibe and the way they covered so many local issues. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
