This is chatgpt answering a question about the two-ferrymen logic puzzle: chatgpt.com/share/68813f... Look at how the example solution doesn't actually make sense unless the ferrymen have access to teleportation:
“Two ferrymen and three boats are on the left bank of a river. Each boat holds exactly one man. How can they get both men and all three boats to the right bank?”

The solution has many iterations of boats going back and forth but would require one of the ferryman to have teleportation to return to the left bank of the river. The problem is also stated incorrectly since it says the boats can only carry one ferryman

Honestly I thought it was the part that ran south of Piedmont Park when I first read the article, but when I look at this map it doesn't seem as bad of an omission since the beltline is literally right there

The MLK Cycle track is probably one of the best implemented bike lanes we have in Atlanta, but what depresses me about it is how awful the street access is. There's practically nothing at street level except parking garages and office buildings set so far back you can barely see them.

Help me out guys I didn't pay attention in social studies: If the mayor wants to invest money in things like affordable housing then couldn't he propose a budget with funding for those things and the city council could vote to approve that budget? Why do we need a TAD? atl.direct/neighborhood...
The Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative Commission, also known as NRIC, was established by the Atlanta City Council to guide and provide oversight for the City’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative. The initiative is a long-term effort led by Mayor Andre Dickens, the City of Atlanta, and community partners to strengthen historically underserved neighborhoods across the city.

The goal is to make Atlanta the best city in the nation to raise a child by investing in housing, infrastructure, transit, and community amenities in a way that is thoughtful, responsible, and equitable.

I've been trying to fact check some of these claims and honestly they mostly smell of BS The Georgia limitation of 2 single site PSH projects per year seems related to a tax credit that has to be applied for. dca.georgia.gov/document/pub...
Georgia Department of Community Affairs limits the entire state to only 2 single-site PSH projects per year. This 55-unit development would consume 50% of Georgia's annual statewide PSH allocation in one Kirkwood neighborhood.

Why does Georgia DCA impose such strict limits? Because state housing experts recognize the operational challenges and concentration risks of large single-site PSH facilities.National housing research consistently demonstrates:

    Tenants in mixed-income properties (fewer than 50% PSH units) have 65% higher odds of housing retention than majority-PSH developments (Minnesota Housing Finance Agency)

    Federal and state agencies now recommend maximum 25 units per PSH development with mixed-income integration

    Scattered-site approaches show better tenant outcomes than concentrated facilities

These are the kinds of people that make biking in this city so shit
So why couldn't they just make the bike lanes part of the section of the sidewalk instead of the street. This way they have to adhere to the pedestrian lights instead of the street lights. If a car turns right and the bike is on the right, the bike should be forced to stop so the right lane turns.

The 24 isn't a great route and its awful frequency-wise whereas the 21 is a solid route albeit also lacking in frequency What if we routed the existing 21 through Edgewood and Kirkwood via Whitefoord and Hosea and then it could merge back on Memorial on Warren St.
