DC government seemingly is allowing federal government to eliminate an extremely well-used bike lane along a street that's not even heavily trafficked by cars (I know it well! I use it almost daily!). 15th St corridor is DC's most important north-south bike route. This move would be amputating it.

New research @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows that mass deportations would likely worsen the housing shortage by decimating the labor force. Immigrants make up >23% of the construction workforce & more in FL, TX. About half are estimated to be undocumented immigrants. www.urban.org/urban-wire/m...
Mass deportations would reduce the construction labor force and exacerbate the housing shortage nationwide.

More than 30% of construction workers were born outside the US in California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and Texas.
