Ah, so like real urban "ag" that can purportedly and reliably turn a profit for its farmers? No.

Every time I want to go downtown for a show at the Dakota I'm looking for a place to park my bike securely. And that doesn't exist, so I won't bike downtown. Building owners have built bike rooms for their tenants, this could be a new model for retail, arts venues + restaurants.

They'll take 394's magic carpet exit to North Loop, but more often visit the ersatz downtown at West End or its many twins. Meanwhile building owners in real downtowns mostly ignore their street level opportunities. Please just create magic urban walking/biking districts & people will come.

I know it sounds absurd until we're pulling meal after meal of green and wax beans, chard (god too much chard, seriously) onions, broccoli, lettuce, sweet and hot peppers and shishitos, cucumbers and tomatoes out of a fairly shady, smallish back yard food garden (6 barrels and a plot). Recommended.

Como Conservatory and don't miss the rainforest room, with turtles, snakes and free-range sloths.

And it has/will become the media focus of the 2026 midterms (Democrats can't be trusted) and the 2028 presidential election (the president survived an assassination attempt by gun, he vanquished a bad case of covid, he is literally bulletproof, give him a 3rd term).

Yikes. Major urban fire crisis averted.

Traffic calming tools are well understood. It is indeed a problem of which mode receives priority. And when the city rightly makes changes to deprioritize cars, the "disability" and "senior" trolls get loud. Well, guess what? Nearly everyone in the transit-bike-walk space is legit a huge access fan.

We don't have to rebuild #I94 in #Minneapolis and #SaintPaul. We can design a parkway, a transitway, a bicycle highway, a linear park, and a few thousand new homes and supporting businesses. We do not have to accept the suburban engineering vision of what our cities can be.

We can personally text practically everyone in the city if there's a frigging snow parking emergency--can we at least give people a little heads-up about the potential for widespread urban fire?
