Historians generally traced zoning back to keepers of posh shops on New York City’s Fifth Avenue, who feared garment manufacturers and their employees would ruin the commercial district’s exclusive experience.

Zoning reform can help solve the housing crisis while promoting transit; walkability; mixed-use; mixed-income communities; and communities that protect nature, control sprawl & address climate change.

Zoning codes impact where we live, how we get around, how tall our buildings become, who are our neighbors and how many parks we have.

The core of ableism is not only that disabled people are inferior.
The core of ableism is that disabled people are expendable and not worthy.
The core of ableism is that disabled people’s lives are not worth living.

In a major metropolitan area, a wheelchair access elevator to rail transit should not be out of service for more than 24-48 hours. In Miami-Dade, they are broken for months or more.

It is embarrassing when your county is hosting a nationwide conference of transportation officials. But your rail lines' elevators haven't worked for years -- destroying mobility for people with disabilities.

Spot on comment.
Shade trees do millions of good things for the environment.
They are relatively inexpensive -- compared to building more highway lanes.
So why do elected officials pour money down the drain on concrete and scrimp on shade canopy?

Tsukiji Outer Market is Japan’s Food Town.
It's everything I love about cities: historic, grungy, narrow, colorful, tasty.
Black squid dumplings, buttery miso cod, crab, calamari and more!

1 Coin Happiness!
What promise.
We could use such rejuvenation -- metaphorically -- and from a 100 yen vending machine in Shinjuku City Tokyo.
Drinks and snacks are the tip of the iceberg of what's in Japanese vending machines.

A larger-than-life calico cat sleeps, wakes up and stares at passing pedestrians opposite Shinjuku Station's east exit. Tokyo's first 3D billboard features a curved LED screen that can display 4K images & play sounds.

Far from the glitz and glamour of Shinjuku City sit narrow rows of 60 some bars and food stalls. Omoide Yokocho “Memory Lane” started out as a black market after World War II. Downed ramen, gyoza and wine bottle sized super dry beer.

MIAMI-DADE ANIMAL SERVICES IS A DISASTER
THEY MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ADOPT A CAT
I leave emotionally the Miami-Dade Animal Services house of horrors crushed, spirit broken. 5/5

I will not be able to keep cats from being lonely or euthanized.
Not until Miami-Dade County leadership fixes its nightmarish Animal Services process.

Because Miami

I have taken in dozens of street cats.
I fund cat rescue on three continents.
I am the perfect candidate to address the crisis that Miami-Dade has with animals in need of homes.
But Animal Services is impossible to work with.

Miami-Dade Animal Services has robbed me of half a working day and despite my valiant efforts, incompetence has prevented me from petting/bonding with a single cat.
Callousness and unequaled incompetence has left me with zero desire to ever visit again.

By now I have wasted 2 hours at Miami-Dade Animal Services & cannot wait behind 10 fresh people deep in the line for service – even though the left hand/right hand total failure between front desk & cat cages keys lady caused this. 1/5
