Here’s a mini #HowIdFixAtlanta: get rid of speed tables!! It’s not just that I detest them (I do), but they also aren’t the only way to calm traffic. Another really effective way to slow down traffic is to narrow the road. We have some really ridiculously wide roads in Atlanta where people way drive too fast. I would rather see the road narrowed by adding medians with bioswales or protected bike or dedicated transit lanes, like for BRT.

“As bad as our country's overall gun violence problem is, Georgia’s gun violence problem is somehow still significantly worse. Georgia’s death rate by firearms—a stat that combines murders, accidents, and suicide—is 38% higher than the national average.”

@andisheh goes hard against guns, and I’m here for it

“People will complain that it’s Communist or totalitarian, but these are the same people who complain that income taxes, solar panels, and public transit are the spawn of Stalin. The sooner we all start ignoring those people, the better off we'll be.”

“King also attached his six principles of non-violence to the idea along with the addition of what he called the “three evils”—poverty, racism, and militarism. Those three evils are present and thriving in modern day Atlanta…”

How Jason Pellett Would Fix Atlanta

How I’d Fix Atlanta — Modernize Georgia’s Beer Laws Jason Pellett When I opened Orpheus Brewing in Atlanta in 2014, we couldn’t sell any beer to drink on-site, any beer to-go, or any beer directly to bars or stores. We couldn’t serve food—not even so much

@atlgaytheist I'm intrigued by the increased prevalence of the framing of "Atlanta-region" initiatives

- Atlanta-region Transit Link
- Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC)

Really optimistic more regional based efforts take off

Atlanta Regional Commission

The Atlanta Regional Commission is the regional planning and intergovernmental coordination agency for the 11-county Atlanta region.
