Fueling up for the trip to Detroit with all my favorite planners. #NPC26

#NPC26 is mighty pricey, no argument there.
First day of the National Planning Conference in Detroit and the first three local planners I asked said they weren't attending because 1) too expensive and 2) no professional development money.

The state of things, folks!

But it's gonna be a good time.

Wrapped up my visit to Detroit for the American Planning Assn #NPC26 conference with a ride on the Qline streetcar. This national planning conference provided a good opportunity to experience a new city with @metronashplan.bsky.social coworkers and learn from other practitioners around the country.

Accidentally bought the eBook, but I picked up the paperback at #NPC26. I heard great things about it at the conference and I'm looking forward to reading it! I just need to get past the ADHD. 😂
Not even sure X knows about my book, but on BlueSky I feel like a dozen or so bike transit or street safety supporters have gotten my book in order to more effectively fight for changes in their community

Now that I have my account back, I wonder if I ran into any of y'all at #NPC26 in Detroit. I had a wonderful time at my first NPC and hope to go again soon. I'll have pictures to share later

Just spent an hour wandering the #NPC26 exhibit hall with @nzorach.bsky.social who I had never met in person before.

Sometimes technology is worth it.

Rural voices belong on the main stage, not the side room. At a 4,000‑person planning conference, “rural” barely showed up—yet millions of us live and work in small towns. If we care about equity, that has to include geography too.
