Pittsburgh History Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) put an AI-Slop poster up all over the Strip District of a sad merchant looking down at unsold produce in response to the city wanting to right-size a dangerous speedy two-lane road down to one-lane. I turned it in to a meme, where the sad merchant is "ME". The produce is photos of the poster and "my power bill going up as PHLF throws away organizational credibility making sad reactionary generative AI-slop tape-up posters"

Members of the Planning Commision and Councilwoman Gross, I am writing to give my enthusiastic support for the following amendments: - ADU's - Parking Reform - Minimum Lot Size Reform - Residential Zoning Districts These are all common-sense adjustments and align to urbanism best-practices. I support the following amendment: - Transit Oriented Development TOD should be implemented at every Busway and T stop throughout the city. When it is specifically targeted at three different sites, each with more basic needs that are not being met by other city or utility or other agencies, we see how irrationally visceral the opposition will be, per the last Planning Commision meeting.
