| 1624516689672146944 | We should do this across the board for the urban planning industry. Show those work demographic stats. Thanks @yitgordon for highlighting this! #equity #transportation. https://t.co/i4WvklrTku | 2 |
| 1623747871315984385 | Many transit agencies face the same difficulties recruiting & retaining the operators needed to keep those buses moving. Loved hearing transit leader @GRTC_CEO Sheryl Adams talk about her ideas and what’s working w/ @yitgordon. https://t.co/duBx1s5XBO | 2 |
| 1623732512441659392 | Sheryl Adams, @GRTCTransit's first Black woman CEO, talks service, zero-fare, and operator recruitment with @yitgordon. #BlackHistoryMonth: https://t.co/14t1ZzwhNR | 1 |
| 1625145574302310401 | @yitgordon @nedoliver @KarriPeifer New Kent County is one to watch - affordable housing, decent schools, and smack dab in commuting range of both the Richmond and Tidewater metro areas. | 1 |
| 1625501240800219138 | @yitgordon @nedoliver @KarriPeifer Not sure this gets the whole picture, one of the fast growing counties here is Louisa County, which is almost entirely rural. A single housing development would tip the scale in terms of rate of growth. Hardly comparable to a county like Fairfax County with > 1 million people https://t.co/Vb0A6sZISe | 1 |
| 1624518180474437632 | @yitgordon @VPM_IanStewart "County awarded 320k to offset the millions they spend making dangerous streets." I want to believe they'll change. I do. | 1 |
| 1625145925151649797 | @KarriPeifer @magillsgiggles @yitgordon @nedoliver Get prepared to see a lot of more of these I suppose. https://t.co/4z3g1F1WXW | 1 |
| 1625288722622054400 | @yitgordon @TheGattoniCelli @TheoForARL @patrickcsisson What it needs is what the free market says it needs; remove zoning and see what happens, there’s no need to target a certain mix of SFH/“middle”/apartments | 1 |
| 1625851825307148288 | What’s the deal with single-stair buildings? We published a piece last year from @yitgordon on exactly that. https://t.co/16QE3TBMuW | 1 |

| 1626938198159941634 | @yitgordon @SegByDesign Have you seen photos of what they did to Fulton Bottom? That was even worse. They tore down a whole neighborhood for literally nothing. It was empty for decades and only now is replaced with cheaply built housing of the surburban sort.https://t.co/Qc0qjAvBWo | 20 |
| 1625305720299175936 | Great @SorensenUVA legislative reception tonight! I saw so many old friends - including my fabulous PLP ‘13 classmates. Congratulations on the new class of 2023👏🏻 @AyodeleOk @yitgordon y’all are going to have a blast! https://t.co/duittXCza8 | 17 |

| 1624848576227561472 | @yitgordon When they have a tonneau cover like that, it means it’s a pavement princess that’s never left the asphalt. The only thing they’ve ever had in that flatbed is a keg of beer. 😆 | 12 |
| 1625136852930887681 | @yitgordon When I was in Ireland, at the airport once you get off a plane they have like bus attendants that help you figure out which bus you need to get to your destination | 12 |

| 1625131929518448647 | @yitgordon @nedoliver @KarriPeifer Glad to see that Richmond is booming but I've gotta say this tells me NoVa isn't pulling its weight in terms of housing construction | 10 |
| 1625134413389389824 | @yitgordon @nedoliver @KarriPeifer I wonder if some of that is NOVA relocation due to remote work. Higher cost of living and more traffic up there, but unfortunately cost of living going up here, now | 9 |
| 1623688032485269504 | @i_am_cj_online @yitgordon have you been to Austin TX??? | 9 |
