Yeah, I've been focused on the housing/land use, but there is an interesting vestigial history of roads. GGWash has a good article about this: ggwash.org/view/7157/ar...

Arlington planning changes, 1960s to 1970s
In 1961, Arlington approved its first General Land Use Plan (GLUP). Fourteen years later, the next version of the GLUP reflected a major shift in Arlington planning, removing many planned highways and...

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

Wouldn't this be great to have in Arlington? Car-free streets for the most dangerous day of the year for child pedestrians. (Regardless, don't drive on Halloween unless you absolutely need to)

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

Arlington rents keep rising. We aren't full, and we need more apartments! www.arlnow.com/2026/10/02/a...
A graph of median Arlington VA rent from 2017 through 2026. There are seasonal highs and lows amid a steady increase, and a big drop in 2021. The median is now $2,610, up from ~$2,050.

🔥 👇 I've seen NIMBYs using TOD language as an argument against adding apartment, so I think this is pretty spot-on. TOD *should* mean that we get apartments next to every bus stop.

Like, regulations that establish decreasing density at arbitrary distances from higher-order transit stations are pure political compromises, with no scientific evidence, and a caricature of how market forces work (or how laypeople think they work).

This is heart-breaking. I'm starting to let my 10 year old bike in the neighborhood on his own and I worry about drivers. We need serious road diets along all streets, especially around schools and parks.

Overblown or not, the AI industry isn't even trying to make an affirmative case for them. Gas turbines, constant noise, high water demands--oh, okay, is this for an emergency hospital after a disaster? No? It's just so rich people who will never even visit here can become even richer? Then no.

The Ensemble by Aja Gabel - about musicians in a string quartet. For a dark comedy, City of Thieves about the siege of Leningrad, reads like a movie. For something longer, I really liked The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman - a take on the legend of King Arthur.

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...
Action alert graphic. A man holds a sign next to a bike lane that says "Everyone deserves safe streets!" Below the image is white text on a black background: "Tell congress: Funding for Bike Safety Projects MUST Continue! bikeleague.org/action-center"Action alert graphic. White text on a black background: "Congress Must Save America's Bike Lanes
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy erased the data that shows bike lanes reduce crashes and don’t cause congestion. Then he asked Congress to defund all bike lanes — and even remove bike lanes from busy roads.

Now, Congress may be listening: the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict what kinds of roads could have bike lanes on them at all. 

We need everyone in Congress to hear us clearly: bike lanes save lives and bicyclists have a right to ride on the roads and get home safely. 

Tell your elected representatives: vote NO on any transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict the ability of federal funding to be used on bike safety projects. bikeleague.org/action-center"

New study suggests that a shortage of secure bike parking is limiting e-bike adoption. Glad to see this issue getting attention. It's intuitive that people with quasi-secure bike storage might be OK risking a pedal bike, but not an e-bike that's more expensive. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Pizza Hut is looking for ways to reconnect with customers after years of restaurant closures and shifting consumer tastes. Some fans say the path forward may actually lie in looking back at its era of colorful lamps hung over checkered tablecloths.

Pizza Hut is struggling. Can red-roof nostalgia help save it?
Franchisees are reviving the Hut’s ’90s sit-down vibe in the midst of the chain’s sale to a private equity firm.

If your understanding of yourself as a man is rooted in power and dominance over others, that's shitty masculinity, wherever you claim to be on the political spectrum. Shitty masculinity is antithetical to civic virtue and a functioning democratic society.
