Wednesday, I that @ModeShiftOmaha is asking the city to do more to prevent pedestrians deaths.
Last night I went to another scene where a pedestrian was hit.

Density does not ruin neighborhood character. #missingmiddlehousing gives density and keeps the neighborhood style. Drop the parking minimums and encourage better transit and sidewalk design.

I’m continually amazed at how #Omaha is unable to envision (let alone execute!) something like this. We have to get over our love affair with free, easily accessed parking. – at Omaha, NE

Housing is desperately needed, but we need to get it right. With no plan for preventing and addressing gentrification, we are creating fewer places for quality, affordable housing. omaha.com/money/plus/develop…

Let’s stop talking about the need for affordable housing and start talking about the absolute need for QUALITY affordable housing. Nobody should be living in these conditions. omaha.com/news/metro/north-o…

Women received 44% more requests to volunteer than men. When asked to help, men agreed 51% of the time; women agreed 76% of the time.
It's time to stop expecting women to do thankless work and start dividing tasks equitably.
