Thousands of students rely on #SEPTA to get to school safely and on time. Without action in Harrisburg to provide new funding for transit—longer commutes and missed classes could become the norm: wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisis/…. #ISEPTAPHILLY #HowWeRoll #FundSEPTA

In the mid-1970s, SEPTA’s Regional Rail network was far more extensive than it is today. We look back on that lost system with regret. If we do nothing, in 2045 people will look back at our era the same way—as the time we let multiple Regional Rail lines vanish. Pass dedicated…

The average number of people living in a house has dropped by 34% since 1950 This means that even with no population growth, cities can experience a housing shortage A city of 1M residents in 1950 only needed 263k homes A city of 1M residents today needs 400k homes

Obama's right - you can care about working people all you want, but if byzantine zoning laws and regulations prevent building housing, families still can't afford homes. The housing crisis needs actual solutions, we need to move far past just the idea of good intentions.

Step back to the early 20th century and the era of "open-air schools"—classrooms without walls designed to fight diseases like tuberculosis with fresh air and sunlight. They soon proved to boost creativity, independence, and a strong bond with nature in students.

Quality residential vacancy data seems pretty important for achieving Mayor Parker’s housing goals. I hope they start doing the survey work again

New budget just dropped. The Mayor's Office closed the $800M+ deficit by cutting 1,400 positions and trimming the fat across departments while preserving public safety and street cleaning budgets AND creating a $400M rainy day fund. About time! growsf.org/news/2025-05-3…

My piece in @Technical_ly. The real drivers of lasting change are the systems, ecosystems, and “multipliers” that empower communities to solve big challenges together. Why investing in these shared foundations matters for Philly and beyond technical.ly/civic-news/com…
