Eye-opening stats at end of this @kirkpinhoCDB piece (which should be a whole story of their own):
Downtown Detroit has 4500 residential units
Cincinnati 18000
Baltimore 15000
Cleveland 12400
Columbus 11000
Less than half of downtown Detroit office workers have returned to their desks. Is there a model where the city doesn't need them? ow.ly/MLMr50KHf5j

Enjoyed this but it also made me get back on twitter just to say: TIME, and especially "Syntax Era", is great and it sounds to me like everyone's feelings ( + maybe the weird cover art?) got in the way of them understanding what a gem they had on their hands.

"Our economy can always bounce back after the pandemic, but our people cannot come back from the dead if they die from COVID-19." @LtGovGilchrist talking about putting people and their communities first in the pandemic response at #DVC2020
#brennanlive For much of American history, we increased the size of the House fairly frequently. Why did we stop, and would increasing it again help with equitable representation?

0. We could radically cut carbon emissions in a few days' time if we felt properly motivated.
Things Covid has proven:
1. The job you were told couldn't be done remotely can be done remotely
2. Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didnt want them to.
3. Internet is a utility, not a luxury
4. Universal healthcare is necessary
