There's room for all of us.

Yes! I want to build affordable housing! Instead, I'm driving a school bus.

Don't get me wrong, working with kids and making school days better are great. I just wish that, you know, they had a place to live that is more than glued-together sawdust and VOCs.

We CAN build durable, energy efficient, sustainable, generational housing.

@tankdigital And thank you for driving a school bus, it is valuable service for the community! Dealing with kids and the public is hard work, we have high turn over for bus drivers in our city because we the public are a bunch of louts. I wouldn't mind bus driving but I couldn't do it due to having to deal with the public, so I'm in awe of your work. You're awesome and I hope you feel appreciated!

@chrisp Thank you! The hardest part is the pay and the schedule. I don't see much of the parents, mostly just a friendly wave.

I took the job because it was a critically understaffed department, and they helped me get my CDL back in 2013. I'm running for school board, and if I get that position I'll have to quit doing that work (I'll ask for an exception, but that's I'm unknown legalese things right now). I expect school board will be MUCH more public interaction. 🙏 It takes all kinds!

@tankdigital I want to be a carpenter or woodworker. I'm also good with cars but not good enough to be a qualified mechanic. I could definitely help a real mechanic to repair cars for the community though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJICrhJD4-M

@tankdigital I hope you advocate for more homes in your community. Lots of red tape in the way. https://www.sightline.org/research/housing-cities/

Housing abundance is key to sustainable, equitable cities. Lifting bans on mutli-family homes fights climate, sprawl, + segregation.

@BigHeadMode
I have been working with and gotten support from local administrators, non profits (grant funding? In this administration?), local businesses, and community leaders.

I'm at the point where I need to ask for $2M+ in funding and I don't know where to ask for that without dipping my toes into the cesspool of finance and capitalism and capitalists. I'm the technology and energy efficiency guy, not the CEO guy.
