"So when the speaker was arrested, he was only in that position because of the Democrats who put him there."

“Both-sidesism” does not belong in an honest discussion of politics and media propaganda. People on the right are simply more likely to fall for fake news than those on the left, the research shows, and for a number or reasons.

There you go again, unable to decipher mountains from mole hills.

The Ohio GOP is a modern day crime syndicate: Guilty: Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, ex-Ohio GOP chairman Matt Borges convicted in $60M bribery scheme https://www.cleveland.com/open/2023/03/guilty-former-ohio-house-speaker-larry-householder-ex-ohio-gop-chairman-matt-borges-convicted-in-60m-bribery-scheme.html Please keep the both sides argument out of this one, it's embarrassing to those of us with a brain.

Your bOtH sIDeS argument rings hollow, again: For study 1, our analyses suggested that there was indeed a linear decrease in conspiracy mentality among the left extreme to a value of 3.4 (the break point was determined by the Robin Hood algorithm68) (b = −0.40, P < 0.001, 95% CI −0.46 to −0.33) and a linear increase from there to the extreme right (b = 0.17, P < 0.001, 95% CI 0.10–0.24) (Fig. 3). Likewise, in study 2, there a significant decrease from the left extreme to the break point of 5 (b = −0.28, P < 0.001, 95% CI −0.30 to −0.26), followed by a linear increase (b = 0.16, P < 0.001, 95% CI 0.13–0.18) (Fig. 4). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-021-01258-7

More senseless fear mongering. Y'all realize humans and cities existed and thrived before cars were invented? It seems like the automobile has wrecked a lot of your minds.

I know a lot of people too, and also live in one of the neighborhoods you've mentioned. Zero of my neighbors/friends/coworkers have this attitude and sentiment when it comes to commuting. Besides, closing Huron won't affect the reserve commute of 99.999% of us living in and around downtown. The fear mongering has to stop or this region will never reach its potential. If you decide not to visit/live in the city because traffic gets a little worse, that's your loss, not the city's. Downtown and the core neighborhoods are going to get much more dense with or without you.

Because our roads, gas/car prices and parking rates are so much better?

I don't believe the CBD is currently a ghost town. I merely stated traffic isn't that bad, which it isn't. This goes for pre Covid as well. Out of the top 50 US cities, Cleveland ranks nearly last in terms of traffic congestion. This data can easily be found if you don't believe me.

Thanks, it's sound logic and one that our world renowned architect is using, thankfully.

I'm downtown everyday, mostly in and around Tower City, what traffic are you speaking of? I rarely see any. At any rate, Cleveland needs more congestion so people consider other options outside of driving. You're afraid of trading a little short term pain for unrealized long term benefits of the region.

I love the new street wall feel the last phase of BP and Station 73 has created coming up/down W73. Very impressive!

Cleveland has some of the least stressed grids in the country. Shut streets down, create stress and maybe RTA and our sidewalks get a lil busier.

If NYC can close down Times Square, Cleveland can do the same with Huron. When will some of you guys realize that cities should be redesigned for the enhancement of the pedestrian experience, not SUV Karen from Strongsville's commute time.

The first level of the last townhome phase in Battery Park has begun getting framed in this week.

"What happens after a city removes a freeway?" From City Beautiful, very informative video

Checkout building permits pulled during 2012 - 2022 and recent city tax income revenue. Both suggest the metro and its demographics are changing. Isn't it a bit of a fallacy to say the county is 2/3 suburban?

Right on, we need to bring back walkable areas to the city, not make it more convenient for suburbanites to cross through.

I'll bring beer and my sledgehammer!

This is well deserved... Cordelia lands on national list of best new restaurants of 2022 CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cordelia, which opened this year in the former Lola Bistro spot in downtown Cleveland, has been named one of the 22 best new restaurants in the United States by Tasting Table. The foodie-focused site, which has been around since 2008, lauded the East 4th spot – the only restaurant in Ohio on its list. https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2022/12/cordelia-lands-on-national-list-of-best-new-restaurants-of-2022.html

If you don't have a Crain's subscription, here's the main takeaway... "A Cliffs spokeswoman did not respond to an inquiry about the sale. In recent years, though, the company has committed to almost doubling its footprint at the 200 Public Square skyscraper."

I can easily imagine fitting 18,000 units inside the boundaries of the Northwest Neighborhoods CDC between now and 2040. Note: The Northwest Neighborhoods CDC includes much more than just the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood. This area already has double the population of downtown, and it's growth % has just recently surpassed downtown's. Prior to 2020, downtown was the fastest growing section of the region, now it is the census tracts located in Ohio City and northern Gordon Sq.

I believe they're talking about demand for units needed between now and 2040. There was a housing study released a year or so ago by a Philadelphia firm that projected around that number for the communities located inside of the Northwest Neighborhoods CDC.
