My focus now is on urban design, and I was recently elected to City Council in my hometown of Falls Church VA.

I see it's been quite a while since I posted about this. HB 282 allowing Charlottesville, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, and Newport News to tax land at a higher rate than buildings has passed overwhelmingly from the senate subcommittee. Still a ways to go but we are on track for success. #HB282 #cville #TaxReform #FallsChurch #Fredericksburg #NewportNews #SplitRateTaxation #housing https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB282

@Thelearningquest What an incredible opportunity!

If you have tools you're not using anymore, please consider donating them on Oct 4th - the City of Falls Church is really invested in repair and sustainability initiatives, and programs in the City library also support our surrounding communities via reciprocity agreements. Tools you've replaced in your own kit are likely to be the most commonly-needed tools for many projects, and that donation can make this tool library extra helpful.

Congratulations to @Thelearningquest and to the City of Falls Church on the successful adoption of Repair Day, to be observed October 18th of this year, 2025. I was delighted to be in attendance at the adoption of this proclamation, and thrilled to see the City of Falls Church become a leader in our region's formal recognition of the value of repair in our communities.
