Jonjon's videos never miss.

If we want our community to be safe for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy, we need to move past blame and instead focus on how we can systematically eliminate the ability to make grave mistakes.

Humans make mistakes, we shouldn't be surprised when they do. Any system that relies on humans to be perfect is a flawed system that will inevitably produce poor results.

Blame prevents critical thought of the underlying factors leading to the crash and ensures more preventable tragedies happen.

The latest proposed city budget is what happens when we have sprawling fiscally unsustainable growth instead of smart growth.

There are long term solutions for this that can reduce traffic, increase quality of life, and increase tax efficiency while not endlessly spending on wideneding roads with no feasible resolution.

We need to think differently instead of repeating the same mistakes expecting different results.

Mixed use development and gentle increases in density combined with an emphasis on better transportation modes connecting them is the definitive solution to fixing unsustainability.

When we say no to these things, we say yes to unaffordable housing, future tax increases, and a place where our kids are more likely to leave for somewhere that is already moving in the right direction.
