Before and after in #Paris, surface gas station in front of a residential building, converted into green space.
Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel.
It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership.

Weeksville was one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Today, it remains a cornerstone of this city, but its history has too often been overlooked.
This short film is the story of Weeksville's rich, living history — and its vibrant future.
AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Train rides are better than car rides. Exhibit A. Sunset out the window on the train from NYC to PVD. Rather than staring at car tail lights and stress I got to stare at cute scenery and relax.
