#StopSprawl: Here in the #booming Hill Country southwest of Austin, Flatten said, the Trinity #Aquifer is at its lowest level on record. Across the region, iconic natural #springs are dwindling or drying up, victims of #extremeheat, #persistentdrought and ever-growing demand for #water.

@SteveClough @BrentToderian #15MinuteNeighborhoods aka ban thru traffic from your school routes and allow more housing and shops to be mixed in the same zones

Traffic planners who don't understand bicycles should not be employed by my city. #Portland is full of #15minuteNeighborhoods by bike (probably every single one by #eBikes), but you currently have to elbow your way through five-lane #stroads to reach those destinations. We're not in f'n space bro, we're in cities and #carsRuinCities, #geometryHatesCars - @bryan might learn that if he hadn't blocked me. 😂

I just rode my bike 15 minutes round-trip and came back with spicy noodles from the food cart in Hillsdale. #eBikes make streetcar suburbs into #15minuteNeighborhoods
