Corner stores are another obsession of mine. If we want walkable neighborhoods, we have to allow the existence of things worth walking to.

@tonyjordan.bsky.social@tonyjordan.bsky.socialCan you get this from a couch?
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialTesla supercharger stations are a public nuisance.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialJust got another email from the CEIC about this “Reliable Parking For Your Whole Team!”
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialPut it in the water supply.
@tonyjordan.bsky.social@tonyjordan.bsky.socialPacific NW cities not named Seattle rarely get any credit for our leadership! Way to go Vancouver USA!
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialParking mandates are arbitrary nonsense. Because parking is conventionally accepted as a "concern" parking mandates can be wielded to discourage "undesirable" land uses... whatever those might be to a particular community.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialAll may park. All must pay.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialMaybe the school district needs to leverage their valuable real estate and community stature to provide more services in those buildings that encourage families to move nearby.

Why not add 800 (or many more) apartments instead?
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialIn 2018 I said cities had about ten years to price private driving before AVs arrived. It's 2026. The robotaxis are showing up on schedule. I'm still for the fleet model including transit, and still waiting on the cities.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialNever forget when Shoup taught us that the value of parking spaces in the USA is likely more than the value of all the roads and all the cars that drive on them.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialAnother question for the PDX signal-meister is whether there's an easy way for a citizen to find out when/why a particular intersection has been re-timed.
@tonyjordan.bsky.socialMy favorite flavor of AI slop is when skeptics attempt to use it, use it poorly, then post their fail thinking it's more of a dunk on the slop machine than a reveal about their skills and real intentions.
