literally a single block

But the article says

17-acre

A city block is anywhere from 2-5 acres, so you’re not far off, but it’s 3-8 times bigger than your description makes it seem.

As a comparison, Union Square in SF is 2.6 acres, so Culdesac would be over 6 times the area of Union Square. That’s definitely not a huge area, but in a place like Tempe it must feel like an oasis for those of us who hate suburban sprawl.

My hope is that places like this inspire more areas like this to be created when redeveloping. Anything that reduces suburban car-centric sprawls is good in my book. Even if just a little bit.

I guess to put it another way, the world seems a little bit better with this place in it instead of a 12 acre parking lot next to a 7 acre building, which is the kind of thing that exists all around my little town. We don’t even have a downtown, just a highway with strip malls.

In my neighborhood we don’t even have fences between houses. Every time it snows a few inches you can see the common paths that the wildlife takes from one yard to the next.

Put a recurring block of hours on your calendar called “focus time” that auto-denies all meeting invitations.

Dang, TIL!

The short-lived operation used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants—some of them American citizens—from the United States.

We study these questions using the staggered introduction of Craigslist (CL)—the world’s largest online platform for classified advertising—across U.S. counties between 1995 and 2009.

So well before TACO Don was even a candidate.

I’m fully aware of how to search the internet, how GPS trackers work, and how they are used.

The part I’m skeptical of is that mechanics routinely pull them off women’s cars and that people were arrested. That sounds like FUD to me.

I saw a great comment somewhere else that said something like “if your job is so important that the gov makes you go to work, you deserve a livable wage.”

Mechanics would routinely pull them off of women’s cars and people would get arrested.

Really? I’m almost 50 and this is the first time I’ve ever heard that. Do you have any data to back up that claim?

I see. So it’s probably an instagram thing. That would also explain the square format.

Where are you finding them? Any idea why they all have that format?

I’m also interested. I migrated from mint to Credit Karma… what a complete shit show. I really miss ooold mint.

I remember in like 1990 I bought an album by The Cure and my mom said “it’s just a phase”. Well here I am 35 years later and what’s this song coming on? The Walk by The Cure. This is quite a long phase.

“Welcome to now.”

This might be the most worthless statement in history.

Even more reason not to use Meta products.

The “commonwealth” appellation is merely stylistic and carries no legal or political significance.
