New: Amidst all the other news out there, Anita Bonds has been mounting a pressure campaign on elections officials to kill Initiative 83.
She’s hassled BOE employees over recent decisions, held up appointees and even is contemplating expanding the board: washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…
Interesting tension over whether Amtrak should get to eminent domain a derelict movie theater in Union Station or whether it should be more retail. I'll only point out that Union station retail is kind of a wasteland right now. axios.com/local/washington-d…
On the same day @Surgeon_General decalred gun violence a national crisis, we learn that @DCPoliceDept gun siezures are being overturned by judges because of unconstitutional tactics.
Great story from @AlexKomaWCP washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…
Wow, the unionization fight @CompassCoffeeDC has turned into trench warfare. theguardian.com/us-news/arti…

The dock counts are super handy.
.@bikeshare is integrated into Google Maps with doc counts, and the somewhat hidden station at @Reagan_Airport now has a marker to make it easier to find.
Cities are such weird collections of deals like this. This contract expires in Dec. 2025, though.

DC-funded study says sports brought in over $100 million in tax revenue last year and spurred economic development in the neighborhoods around stadiums. But the study includes no cost discussions whatsoever? 🤔

“Only 4.3% of DC’s total land area is used by commercial or mixed-use buildings. Contrast that to the 23% of DC’s land area that’s zoned single-family-only, and the real opportunity to add many more housing units becomes clear.” 🏗️🏢 @paytonchung @ggwash

Reopening the Port of Baltimore to some shipping should take 10-14 days, marine salvage experts told @JrMining. That should be quick enough to avoid major disruptions to shippers. spglobal.com/marketintellige…
Looks mining outer space will be like the Wild West, at least according to @taykuy and @Eri_Silva1 .
