Found on the Wall Next to the Wilson Parking Garage

A friend told me about witnessing a confrontation with a guy wearing a Nazi shirt earlier today. Fast forward tonight and someone posted a pic of this on the Dallas subreddit. I live down here and could get to it quickly. The Mods over there are deleting the posts about it.

Build More Housing Near Transit Act

If you’re unfamiliar with “urbanism,” it's how inhabitants of urban areas, such as towns and cities, interact with the built environment. Positive urbanism inherently supports public transit and mixed use zoning, with an emphasis on making it easier to do everyday errands without needing a vehicle.

As a native Dallasite, I’ve noticed that there is quite a lack of this kind of infrastructure outside of very few places, which is crazy given the population size.

This doesn't apply to just DFW, but I’m working on a campaign to get local officials involved in supporting this kind of legislation forward. One small step in that is furthering the Build More Housing Near Transit Act. August is coming up, and if you want to get more involved in local politics, this is a great starting point.

Halperin Park Grand Opening

"a new five-acre deck park in Dallas, Texas, built over I-35E near the Dallas Zoo, designed to reconnect Oak Cliff neighborhoods and serve as a new community green space." Awesome park but I can't stop thinking of the pricetag
