since people are saying this in my replies: ppl being civically engaged is good. but most people, not surprisingly, lack technical understanding of zoning, code, etc that you need for better insight into how this stuff works, which can get tiring onlinehttps://twitter.com/LAShepard221/status/1436372074143141890?s=20 …

Laura Shepard @LAShepard221Replying to @thecitywandererThis is a good thing! More people (especially young people) getting excited, learning about, talking about, and even getting civically engaged around this stuff will help make the city better. When people aren't interested developers & politicians decide things for us by default.3 replies 1 retweet 29 likesShow this thread -
