weβre going to make a dent in our housing crisis AND make Bellingham more livable, vibrant, and community-centered than it already is - all at the same time.
so much work by so many people over YEARS are going into this, but itβs awesome to see it coming together.
exciting things happening in my little town! an ambitious new comp plan thatβll greatly increase multiuse density, a rapid transit plan to get down to 10min headways on our best bus lines, a full neighborhood-scale car-lite development, and great new bike infrastructure in the works! π #Bellingham
oh interesting. BNSF engineers operate them for WSDOT/ODOT during the testing period? how long would they be tested on before going into service? does each trainset need to be tested or is it just the first one for validation?
@staterepjuliareed.bsky.social when is this advisory committee kicking off and how do i get on it? π
i absolutely CANNOT wait.
Cascades (Eugene to Vancouver BC) will launch the first in the nation Airo trainsets later this year.
absolutely generational improvement in an incredible service (that needs far more investment) π₯
it will never cease to shock me that these trump admin flunkies run the damn federal government with less care than most of us normies muster up for our menial day jobs. just incredible stuff.
this project is unaffordable and unsustainable. end highway expansion. start from scratch.
itβs time for these gutless, useless Democrats to resign. Booker, Schumer, Jeffries, Klobuchar. stand up or get out of the way.
fuck these people. a mother is dead tonight, murdered by this fascist regime. impeach her NOW.
The βprosecute the former regime at every levelβ candidate has my vote in 2028.
Removing minimum parking mandates pays off.π
In #Bellingham, βThe housing nonprofit is nearing completion of LaFreniere Court, 18 permanently affordable, net-zero energy homes in Birchwood. Lathrop said the project had benefited fromβ¦β
a personal attack from Scott means youβve made it (and are on the right side π), congrats!

I love San Francisco, but this was my least favorite thing about the city. Nothing was ever just *done* and it was exhausting.

i am ABSOLUTELY here for transit-themed victory posts. π
in Bellingham, two YIMBY incumbents won by a landslide against NIMBY challengers. πͺ
headlines these days will be like βICE teargassed a nursing home, beat grandma, kept her in a holding cell without water for 3 days, and released her without charges. Some say this is extreme.β
we pedal thru this one often! βοΈ
