Funny (“funny”) video from Cuauhtémoc in Mexico City (wealthy/touristy borough) about removing illegal street furniture from a restaurant and giving it back to parking/sidewalk. At first I thought they were installing it, not removing it. Woman at the end thanking them from inside the car is 👨‍🍳 💋

The CT GOP is engaging in a coordinated screed against HB5002 by lying through their teeth: "Newtown has a long history of responsible and community-driven land use policy" Too bad Urban Dispatch keeps receipts. Newtown has kept housing from 853 families over the just last four years 🧵
