World BrieflyPlot twist: cities don't need more money to fix housing, they just need adults in the room
mrbarricadeCities afraid to try something temporary will never build something permanent. Risk aversion is the enemy of progress. A city that will not try a $5,000 painted bike lane because it might not work will also never build the $5 million protected lane. The willingness to try small things is what builds the capacity to do big ones. Push your city to try something small. The big projects follow from there. #MrBarricade #QuickBuild #LocalGovernment #UrbanPolicy

As I watch a vacant lot two houses down from us get clear cut it fills me with such sadness.
Here in Florida we are in a drought. There's a burn ban at the moment. I had the random thought but think it would be really smart policy:
Burn Ban should be extended to place a hold on ALL clear cutting, paving, and tree removal. As long as we're in a drought and heat wave there is no justification for exacerbating the situation.

WendyToday, May 1st, Amsterdam became the first capital city in the world to legally ban fossil fuel and meat advertising in public spaces.
The vote was 27-17 in January. Today the law took effect. JCDecaux and the airlines and the burger chains lost their walls. The Hague went first in 2024. Florence followed.
A capital city on the morning workers march said no, not on our walls. The legal model exists. Push your council.

What makes the story resonate is that it translates abstract policy failures into something people feel every day: rent, inflation, insecurity, and the fear of falling behind.
