Best way to wrap a busy #CityHall day? By taking @MARTAtransit from Midtown to @MBStadium — which was both faster and way cheaper than by car or scooter — for the @AtlantaFalcons game. (Faaaaaar too many Bills jerseys though)

🚨 It’s official: I’ve drawn an opponent for this November’s election. Everything we’ve worked for in District 4—fighting displacement, expanding affordable housing, building safer streets, and ensuring our community’s voice is heard—is now on the line.

Walk anywhere in Amsterdam and you’ll sense a calm coherence: bricks, curbs, fixtures, benches, bollards and drains that look related. This isn’t accidental. It’s a product of the Puccini Method, the city’s standards—part design language, part playbook—for shaping every street.🧵

We shouldn’t have to escape the city for a daily dose of nature, no matter how small. By challenging the car’s privilege on our streets, we create new opportunities for re-greening; thus boosting our physical, mental, and social well-being. Strand Aldwych, London. 2021 vs 2025.
