And yes, our residents are quite satisfied with their below average tax rates

But the end result was a bond rating UPGRADE to our city from Fitch because "the city made material expenditure reductions" and "the city continues to demonstrate a commitment toward maintaining strong financial resilience"

Welcome to have Mr. Ingoglia to Gainesville. This will be the SECOND DOGE style slashing of our city by the state in just two years. The first series of state -imposed cuts gutted us to the core: ☑️ Eliminated 9.5% of positions, 161.5 ☑️ Deep cuts to non-public safety departments

A great opportunity in Gainesville. The Gainesville MTPO is hiring a director as we transition it to a new independent organization. This person will lead transportation projects in the area and set up their own org. Take a look and apply before it closes: https://t.co/rKJrh0vOAQ

This Florida Housing Summit by @FloridaPolicy was tremendous. I got to speak about the housing reforms in Gainesville and meet people I've been looking to for years like @OldUrbanist and @KodyGlazer.

Gainesville has long been the creative center of Florida, the "other Florida", the weird city of the Sunshine State. How do we put that creativity into our city design? How do we give it a "sense of place" in a time of austerity and uncertainty: https://t.co/lM76R5QscU

Urban design isn't magic — there are specific reasons why we like some places more than others. So here are 10 ways to make a street more (or less) interesting...

Fun fact: Gainesville was the 1st city in Florida and the 3rd city in the US to fluoridate our water in 1949. It's a huge public health success one that a UF professor found saves $18 for every $1 invested

"In moments like this, our salvation will really come from the local - the local and the state levels."

Composting Celebration Day at Grow Hub in Gainesville this morning. Big day in the city with a Tom Petty festival and our Fall Arts Festival

Lots of talk of young people swaying more Republican. No evidence of that here in Gainesville. Our on campus precinct at UF is more Dem than it was in 2016 and significantly more than 2008 (57.94% for Obama) If young men were swinging Rep this is where we’d see it, and we’re not

Out knocking on doors for Kamala Harris today with my new friend Ana from Ocala. She drove up to Gainesville to help the team get out the vote. Three more days!

I responded to the Speaker Pro Tem's threats against our city & its employees. We've eliminated 161 positions, cut $11.9 million in expenditures. Residents are paying more money for less, and w/ no reduction in GRU rates. The ppl have given enough, now it's time to hear them

I love that @Jason_Garcia is highlighting the work of Orlando & Gainesville in housing reform. I've long been a fan of his and I loved having the chance to talk on his podcast about Gainesville's recent single family zoning reforms. Give it a listen! https://t.co/64CyyEffgq

Florida Speaker Pro Tem Chuck Clemons just sent a letter on official state letterhead threatening to dissolve the City of Gainesville because of the GRU referendum. What a strange time we live in

For all the talk of SF zoning reform there's a real lack of on-the-ground advice on how cities pass this stuff. How do u decide what to tackle? Do you compromise? With what coalitions? Here's our takeaways after 6 yrs in GNV. YMMV, but this is our story: https://t.co/5ZUnMUcSSs

Our downtown pedestrian street is officially permanent! SW 1st will soon be a curbless street complete with overhead lights, more trees, and electrical outlets for events. We need more places for people in our downtown, and this is a great step to that:

What a fantastic kickoff to #Fest22 a key to the city for one of Gainesville’s great bands: @HotWaterMusic

.@ebwhamilton gets it. The data is backing up the 1-2 punch that is getting more housing built: 1. Make single-family building easier thru lot changes 2. Increase large apartment land This is the way https://t.co/N0CFPacUVB
