NEW by me: Documents obtained by @thexylom show that MARTA Rail experienced single-tracking-related service cuts 80% of weekends over the last 12 months, taking nearly 5,500 trains out of service that would have served Midtown, Downtown, and the Airport.

This may be the defining moment of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens: Megan Thee Stallion trash-talks your administration to her millions of followers on social media.

Meg Thee Stallion talks about the water situation in Atlanta. They cancelled her sold out show last night and could be cancelling again. 😕

The current trending post on r/Berkeley is "How to survive as a female, homeless student at UC Berkeley?" This is not okay. Something has gone horribly wrong in the Bay Area. (Also please extend grace to these students and help them whenever you can)

I think this Romanian successful week-long appeal of Team USA's four-second-too-long appeal to revoke Jordan Chiles' medal will ensure that every team will auto-appeal every attempt from every athlete from this point forward. A very bad look for CAS that could break the sport

To summarize, Atlanta, the largest metro area in the South, currently does not have clean water for a second straight day, nor does it have mail delivered to homes. An absolute failure on governance on all levels

ICYMI: We have an update on the continuing mail delivery delays in Georgia. It comes after U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff visited the new USPS Regional Processing and Distribution Center in Palmetto, that has been at the center of the delays. #gapol More here: bit.ly/3wOiAVv

Okay, as an alum I can say this, but it will take decades to evaluate how Georgia Tech removing every single physical book from the campus library irreversibly stunted its students' intellectual curiosity

Who says studying can’t come with a view? Our library’s got more than just books and technology — it’s got one of the best skyline views in the country!

With all due respect, how do you gentrify an empty parking lot next to the Interstate?

Love how they sneak in the gentrification with “affordable housing”

Slutty Vegan founder Pinky Cole, who settled a federal wage theft lawsuit earlier in the year, and former Congressman Kwanza Hall, who violated the city charter by accepting a six-figure job he voted to create as a City Councilmember, just voted to give Elon Musk a $10M tax break

For those keeping track, the cost of one "Cop City" ($110 M) could buy: 1. an entire commuter rail line ($74M) 2. Land for a downtown multimodal station connecting to Amtrak and streetcar ($17M) ... with nearly enough money to sign Bijan Robinson to his rookie contract ($22M)

Approximately 1% of all Atlantans applied for an e-bike in the first 12 hours the program went live. Atlanta is a cycling city forced to drive due to racist highway segregation, disinvestment, and corruption. Political will + infrastructure must catch up.

Time for my favorite trivia fact: You are statistically 60% more likely to run into a Black person in Fargo, North Dakota, than in San Francisco. Smart zoning promotes affordable growth and attracts diverse talent to your cities.

The moment I've been waiting for: Georgia Tech releases plans to create a car-free campus core, convert Peters Parking Deck into a park, and reopen 3rd St. Tunnel (to create the first dedicated pedestrian/ bike crossing of I-75/85). A true game changer. news.gatech.edu/news/2023/11/2…

Behold, a moment in history. Thank you to all my colleagues at City Hall and beyond who have covered "Cop City" for the past two years and counting. I wish I was here with y'all

What a scene at City Hall. A line of training center opponents are passing boxes of signed referendum petitions up to the clerk’s office. Organizers say they have collected more than 116,000 signatures. #atlpol
