Congestion pricing was enacted in January and charges drivers $9 each time they enter the Central Business District below 60th Street in Manhattan. It has three stated goals: to reduce traffic, lower carbon emissions and raise revenue for mass transit.  congestion pricing is actually rooted in an issue which Governor Hochul tends to gloss over:  Carbon taxation.  Road pricing is a key element of the notorious 15 Minute City concept often put forward by the World Economic Forum (of which Kathy Hochul is an adherent), and it is specifically justified by proponents as a method for reducing carbon emissions.  In other words, road pricing or the "congestion toll" is a way to apply direct carbon taxation on the general public. The 15 Minute City concept is built around the fallacy that travel reduction is necessary to "save the planet" from global warming.  The idea is relatively simple - Create artificial obstacles through law to reduce or remove individual travel.  The WEF refers to this as "sustainable and inclusive mobility".  The Davos crowd presents sustainable mobility as a quest for "convenience" to encourage people to stop using private transportation, but nothing is as convenient as having your own vehicle. The ultimate purpose of 15 Minute Cities is to centralize populations into tiny areas, completely eliminate private transportation and control all citizen mobility.  The idea received increased attention from the WEF and the establishment media during the covid lockdowns, when it was suggested that covid travel mandates should be kept in place in order to mitigate climate change.

Source: fortune.com Trump Announces He Is Considering Giving 20% of DOGE Savings to Taxpaying Americans – And Slash National Debt Trump revealed on Tuesday that he's seriously considering a proposal to give 20% to every American taxpayer, funded entirely by the massive savings the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has accumulated. And another 20% of DOGE's savings could go straight to paying down the federal government's bloated debt. Fishback explained the idea as follows: Here's how President Trump's DOGE Dividend works: DOGE is targeting $2 trillion in total savings. Take 20% of DOGE's total savings ($400 billion) and return it to the ~79 million U.S. households that will be net payers of federal income tax4 in CY 2025 as a tax-refund check called the “DOGE Dividend.” $400 billion in DOGE-driven savings *divided by* 79 million tax-paying households = $5,000 “DOGE Dividend” check per tax-paying household.    Trump: By doing this, Americans will tell us where there's waste. They'll be reporting it themselves. They participate in the process of saving money.

The centre of Johannesburg was once an economic hub with abundant green spaces. But over the last two decades, the South African city centre has become known for crime, dumped waste, broken infrastructure and restrictions on water and electricity. A surging population has played its part. But so-called musical chairs of 10 mayors over five years and corruption during the tender process for service delivery has led to the downfall of the city's infrastructure, with buildings in the Central Business District often occupied by squatters and gangs.

Congestion pricing is finally here. As of Sunday, New Yorkers are being charged $9 during peak hours to enter the Central Business District in Manhattan below 60th Street. The initiative has sparked both outrage and celebration. It will take some time to determine whether the plan is a success or failure, and Gov. Kathy Hochul said we won't be able to tell until 2026 — the year she is up for reelection. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli, weigh in on this historic occasion in New York's transit history.

Hear about travel to Central China as the Amateur Traveler talks to Larry Fan, who was born in the city of Zhengzhou and recently returned to explore his birth country. Why should you go to Central China? Larry says, ” “I think it's particularly special because it's considered the cradle of Chinese civilization. Xi'an was the first imperial capital of China. Zhengzhou also happened to be one of the first capitals of the Shang dynasty. Kaifeng and Luoyang, which are two other cities I'll talk about, had also served as capitals of China during various times. It's a very influential area for Chinese civilization and often not as much talked about versus places like Beijing, Shanghai. Etc. ” Larry recommends a 7-10 day itinerary for visiting central China, covering historical and cultural highlights in Henan Province and Xi'an.

The update reflects changes made in April, which included the removal of several zoning categories to streamline the process. In August, city staff presented the map, followed by a public hearing on August 15 to gather resident feedback. Property owners were notified and given the chance to request changes; ten of these requests were incorporated into the final map. Key zoning districts now include Central Business District, General Commercial, Light Industrial, and various residential and mixed-use categories. The map also designates special use zones for governmental and quasi-governmental facilities. This effort was led by Community Development Director Kevin Turner and his team, who worked closely with residents to address concerns. STORY 2:  Canton Applying for Grant for Pedestrian Bridge The Canton City Council has approved a resolution to apply for a Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program Grant for the $6.1 million River Mill Pedestrian Bridge project, which aims to connect The Mill on Etowah to the Etowah trail network. The project includes a pedestrian bridge, put-in/take-out area for kayaking, and a paved trail, with a projected budget of $6,165,938.40. Funding will come from the grant, Special Purpose Local Options Sales Tax, and impact fees. The bridge, designed with a concrete deck and prefab steel truss, is expected to start construction in mid to late 2025 and have a lifespan of over 75 years. The City also awarded a contract for the trail design to integrate with the bridge, with construction aligning for 2025. STORY 3:  Reinhardt Falters on the Road Reinhardt University's football team faced a tough defeat against Southeastern, losing 28-10 during a non-conference game in Lakeland, Florida. The Eagles, now 1-2, initially took the lead but failed to score in the second half due to costly special teams errors. The game was part of a challenging road trip, and despite a strong start, Reinhardt's mistakes, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, proved detrimental. Quarterback Stephin Craig completed 14 of 32 passes for 132 yards, with the team struggling in execution. The Eagles will host Cumberlands next Saturday at Ken White Field before continuing their schedule against Georgetown and Pikeville. Coach James Miller expressed frustration but emphasized the need to improve and prepare for upcoming challenges. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

STORY 5: Burt Jones Cleared of Criminal Intent Following 2020 Presidential Election Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has been exonerated by the Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia after an investigation into his role as an alternate elector following the 2020 presidential election. Jones, then a Republican state senator, was part of a group that voted to cast Georgia's electoral votes for Donald Trump despite Joe Biden's victory in the state. The investigation, led by Pete Skandalakis after Fulton County DA Fani Willis was disqualified due to a conflict of interest, found no criminal intent in Jones' actions. The findings indicated that Jones acted on legal advice to preserve potential legal remedies for Trump amid election disputes. Despite other GOP electors facing indictments, no charges were brought against Jones, who used the same defense during his 2022 campaign for lieutenant governor.

Unsere Gäste erzählen uns dabei auch über die Projekte „B.munich“ und „The Stack“, die sie direkt am Hauptbahnhof realisieren.

It's all about S-Reits today as we continue our conversation with a company that is also the first ever guest we had on board on Under the Radar back in February last year. Make a guess! The company is behind some of the most prominent skyscrapers we see at the Central Business District, and is said to be one of the largest diversified S-Reits with total assets under management of S$6.3 billion as at the end of 2023. Well, listed on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange back in January 2014, OUE REIT is a wholly owned subsidiary of OUE Limited, a leading real estate and healthcare group that looks to tap growth trends across Asia.  On its own, OUE REIT owns two hotels, namely Hilton Singapore and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. It also counts the Mandarin Gallery, as well as commercial properties OUE Bayfront, One Raffles Place and OUE Downtown Office as its assets. Out of Singapore, the Reit also owns a Grade A commercial asset called Lippo Plaza in Shanghai's business district of Puxi.  But why are we talking to OUE REIT you might ask? Well, OUE REIT was recently rebranded from OUE Commercial REIT in January 2024 to reflect its focus on growth opportunities in the hospitality, office and retail sectors, but what can we look forward to on this front?  Meanwhile, OUE REIT had also in April reported higher revenue and net property income in the first quarter of 2024, where net property income rose 6.9 per cent on the year to S$60.5 million. But how far is this driven by commercial properties and increased tourist spending at its hotels and how far can this continue?  On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Han Khim Siew, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of OUE REIT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anyone who's been around Baton Rouge for a while has noticed the amazing transformation of its downtown over the past 30 years. it's a transformation that has come in large part from the planning and leadership of the Downtown Development District. In that time, the capital city has also seen growth and transformation in its hospitality and tourism sector, which is largely, though not exclusively, concentrated downtown. In recent months, the organization that oversees the tourism and hospitality sector – Visit Baton Rouge – and the DDD have both come under new leadership by a new generation of women, who are bringing new ideas and creative vision for growing and reimagining Baton Rouge's downtown and its tourism industry. Whitney Hoffman Sayal is Executive director of the Downtown Development District, a special taxing district in baton rouge that includes Spanish Town, Beauregard Town, and the Central Business District. The DDD was created in 1987 and works to support the district, using community-driven master plans and economic incentives to help businesses and nonprofit philanthropic organizations in their development and entrepreneurship efforts. Whitney had big shoes to fill when she took over in 2022 after a national search to replace the late Davis Rhorer its founding executive director. But then, she was a natural, having worked at the DDD under Davis for eight years. Whitney is a certified planner with a master's in landscape architecture from the LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture.    Jill Kidder is President and CEO of Visit Baton Rouge, the official tourism and marketing agency for the city-parish. Jill is also a newcomer to this high-profile position; she took over from long-time leader Paul Arrigo in 2022. But Jill is no stranger to the industry. She has 37 years experience in the hospitality sector and has lobbied for the industry at the state capitol and in Washington DC. She comes to her new position after 15 years with the Louisiana Travel Association, where she spent the past five as its president and CEO. Women in leadership positions, guiding a major American city with a storied history into a multi-cultural and multi-revenue future. Believe it or not, yes, it's Baton Rouge!  Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Scott Johnson and Bill Fain, founding partners of Johnson Fain. They discuss the 25-year transformation of Oklahoma City Oil Field Number One into First Americans Museum (FAM), which honors the state's 39 tribes. The project was highly collaborative and engaging, incorporating Native American advisors to help shape the overall design approach. Conceptually, FAM is a spiral that begins in the earth and ascends to the heavens. The museum's western arc features permanent and rotating exhibitions, and its northern arc houses theaters, retail, dining, and other services necessary in modern museums. Architect and urban designer Bill Fain, FAIA, directs master planning and urban design at Johnson Fain. He has won several national AIA and Progressive Architecture awards for projects including Mission Bay in San Francisco, Beijing's Central Business District, and the Greenways Plan for Los Angeles. Bill has received two Fellowships from the National Endowment of the Arts and Humanities and was the recipient of a Rome Prize Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, Italy. He has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from UC Berkeley and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from Harvard Graduate School of Design. Firm partner and creative lead Scott Johnson, FAIA, has designed nearly 100 built projects in the past 20 years. Further, he has taught and lectured at various universities, including directing the Master of Architecture Programs at the University of Southern California's School of Architecture. Scott is the author of Essays on the Tall Building and the City, Performative Skyscraper Tall Building Design Now, The Big Idea: Criticality and Practice in Contemporary Architecture, Tall Building: Imagining the Skyscraper, and Tectonics of Place: The Architecture of Johnson Fain. He holds a BA in Architecture from UC Berkeley and a Master in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Bill and Scott met at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

2022 Holiday Happenings in Downtown Ridgewood! Joan Groome and Tony Damiano - Executive Directors of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce, and the Ridgewood Guild, respectively share information about upcoming events in the Central Business District.

Denise talks to KC Crain, President of the privately held media giant, Crain Communications. Navigating the global transformation of the media industry and building a technology company around media is something he's proud of, with good reason. The family business produces news across publications, lead generation, research and data products, digital platforms, custom publishing, and events, reaching 78 million readers globally; the company's portfolio consists of 24 brands.  Crain sites two tough situations he's faced that have helped him to grow. The first was an absolute failure to launch a new business. The second was starting over. He's learned the art of communication, in an environment that provides opportunities to hone his skills, exercising the courage to be honest.  “Confidence,” he says, “is learned.” Crain has a passion for learning, investing his time and effort into diving deeply into his subject matter. It makes sense. With increasing knowledge and expertise comes increasing confidence.  His advice to those who are thinking of joining a family business is as wise and humorous as it gets, “Go work somewhere else for a while.” He credits his ability to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps to understanding that no one person has all the answers. You can learn from anyone on the team, older or younger, at any time. Be open-minded and open to change.  As a husband and father of five children, he's taken his mom's words to heart—I don't care what happens with the family company, I care what happens at Thanksgiving.  Like many Detroiters, Crain has fond memories of the city's sports wins, and the energy its teams bring to the city. But having been in Detroit for over 50 years, Crain has enjoyed seeing the Riverfront and Central Business District come to life.  Denise enthusiastically agrees with her guest, “I think we've got one of THE most generous cities in America.”  ***  KC Crain is President and CEO for Crain Communications, Inc. His previous roles include COO, EVP and Director of Corporate Operations, VP and Group Publisher. He started as a reporter for Automotive News. Crain is board chair for the Detroit Children's Fund and sits on the boards of the Young Presidents Organization, and the College for Creative Studies. He is dedicated to Detroit's economic development with investments and partnerships in real estate and restaurant ventures. Crain earned a BA in Communications from Denison University. He and his wife, Ashley, live in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, with their five children.  Denise Ilitch, an owner of Ilitch Family Companies and President of Ilitch Enterprises, has been a part of Detroit's business and philanthropic community for over 40 years.  As a mother, lawyer, entrepreneur, devoted community servant and tireless advocate for women and children, she learned early, from her father, that everyone is worthy of contributing to the world.  Her passion for affordable, accessible, quality education stems from her own experience as a first-generation student, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, where she currently serves on the Board of Regents.  FOLLOW DENISE @thedeniseilitchshow  TO LEARN MORE about all our inspiring podcasts visit https://www.lifestough.com/.  

Next up on our global tour, in Season 4, Episode 3, David and Peih-Gee go down under with The Doctor and The Alchemist, aka, Aaron Hooper and Leanne Yong from Next Level Escape in Sydney, Australia. They gave a fantastic talk at RECON '21, Playing with Game Structure: the Macro of Mechanics. In this podcast, they go into more depth about designing unusual game mechanics like their game, The Game, a competitive escape room where players go head to head, battling for objectives, or The Show Must Go On, which is part audio play, part interactive performance and part escape room. Leanne and Aaron both came from finance backgrounds—Aaron previously worked as an economist and Leanne as a business analyst. They combined their hobbies of tech, writing, and gaming to create some very fun escape rooms with humor, loads of player interactions, and unique gameplay.

July 1, 2022 — Fort Bragg bid farewell to Police Chief John Naulty and Interim City Manager David Spaur this week. At Monday's City Council meeting, the Council also passed the 22/23 budget, with the assurance that it can be amended as labor negotiations proceed. The city labor union, SEIU Local 1021, is advocating for a 5% COLA, or cost of living increase, but the city has budgeted 3%. Union leaders also argued that the compensation and comparison study was not realistic, as Fort Bragg was compared to Lakeport, where the cost of living is much lower. Naulty and Spaur came out of retirement to serve as heads of the police force and the city. As public servants, they receive CalPers benefits, which would be reduced if they worked more than 960 hours after retirement. But while the city is facing what could be a lengthy recruitment for a new city manager, a new police chief is expected to start work later this month, on July 25. According to a city press release, Neil Cervenka is a veteran of the Air Force and the Turlock Police Department. He also serves as Treasurer on the Executive Board of Directors for the California Peace Officers Association. Cervenka's salary and benefits will be $110k a year. Council members credited Naulty with improving the culture at the police department and highlighted the grim day when he traded gunfire with the man who killed Sheriff's Deputy Ricki Del Fiorentino in 2014. Naulty said he expects the new chief to improve the department further, by focusing on training and technology. “It's just going to flourish even more,” he promised. “We're fortunate in Mendocino County to be fully staffed, one of the few departments. I mean, some don't even have a chief anymore, and some people barely have enough officers to cover all the shifts, but we're one of the fortunate few. It's thanks to you guys for listening to me, and the investments that you've placed into these people, so you guys deserve a lot of credit.” The new fiscal year starts July 1, and the council approved a $38.1 million budget. That's a $740k decrease from last year, mostly because of upgrades to the wastewater treatment facility and the water meter replacement project. However, the budget for salaries and wages increased by $744k to include packages for high-paying positions like police chief and city manager, as well as two social services workers and an engineering technician. Public Works consumes about 12% of the budget, coming in third after General Government at 19% and police, at 35%. Assistant Director of Finance Isaac Whippy told the council the city has a surplus of $175k, with a projected $3.4 million general fund balance for the upcoming fiscal year. But he warned that a widely predicted recession could knock out the city's strong ToT (transient occupancy tax, or bed tax paid to lodging establishments) and sales tax revenue. “We could see a decline in our tax revenue, particularly our sales tax revenue, by 10-15%,” he predicted. “And similarly for ToT taxes. So if a recession were to happen in 23/24, we would see a decline in fund balance by $510k, and then in 24/25 there would be a slow recovery from that recession.” The approved budget includes the 3% COLA increase for most city workers, but Assistant City Manager Sarah McCormick's salary is going up by about $5k. Outgoing Interim City Manager David Spaur summarized the budget implication. “The proposed change in this item, 5G, authorizes an annual salary for the position of Assistant City Manager up to the amount of $120,972.80,” he said. “There will be some salary savings from not having a City Manager for a period of time, as this week will be my last week.” John Ford, of Humboldt County, had accepted the city manager position, but asked to be released from his contract earlier this month, citing family reasons. In a brief interview, Council Member Lindy Peters explained that Spaur had served Fort Bragg at $76 an hour for the 960 hours allowed by CalPers. Peters said now the city is facing a choice. The city can look for another manager through a recruiting agency, which could leave the Council trying to hire someone right after the election, when there might be brand-new Council members. He said the city could also mount its own recruitment efforts, or work its connections through the League of California Cities to try and find another retired city manager who could give Fort Bragg another 960 hours. Meanwhile, city workers lined up during public comment to petition for a higher COLA. Merle Larsen said his reduced earnings as inflation climbs would have an impact on the city's finances as a whole. “What you're doing, is everywhere that I shop downtown, they're not gonna get the money,” he vowed. “You're not penalizing me. I'm gonna go online. I'm gonna go over the hill. I'm going wherever it's cheaper to buy something. So you know what that means here? Less tax dollars. Less for you, when you make that decision.” Vice Mayor Jessica Morsell-Haye said approving the budget was awkward while the city is in negotiations with the union, but Spaur and Whippy assured the Council that they could adopt the budget and retroactively award workers a higher COLA if that is the final result of negotiations. In a final fiscal decision, the Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution granting a three-year waiver of water and wastewater capacity fees for restaurants, cafes, and food service businesses in the Central Business District. According to a staff report, the fees can be as high as $50,000 for a restaurant moving into a location that has not been used for that purpose before. Staff analysis calculated that the fiscal impact for waiving the fees could add up to more than $120,000 over the three years, but that it could be balanced out by sales taxes from the new businesses, with ongoing positive revenue. The City already allows businesses to request a waiver, but in order for it to be granted, it must pass the test of being a public benefit. Council Member Tess Albin-Smith asked that that proviso be spelled out in an upcoming resolution waiving the capacity fees for the rest of the city. Morsell-Haye summed up the feeling on the council, saying, “For years, we've talked about how to be business friendly, and I think right here, we're actually accomplishing it for once. So thank you.”

Galveston's Black Business District Beginning in the late 1800s the area immediately west of 25th St. and North Broadway was the center of Galveston‘s Black business district.  Restaurants, theaters, insurance companies, grocery stores, most of them owned, operated, and built by black citizens of Galveston. Names like Gus Allen, TD Armstrong, Albert Feas, “Neat” and Mary James ,and Maggie Fisher were Staples among the community. As they operated some of Galveston‘s most famous businesses and restaurants. In the times of racial segregation, many businesses and services in Galveston's Central Business District did not welcome people of color. However, West of Rosenberg Avenue was open for business. this district did not only serve a residents of Galveston, but sailors from all over the world and visitors from all over the United States. Keep in mind there in the times of Galveston's shipping prowess. There were sailors from all over the world visiting Galveston. They were from countries like India, The Caribbean, South America, Africa, Asia, you name it and not everyone was welcome in Galveston‘s central business district. As people would travel to Galveston for business or pleasure, many African-Americans utilized the Green Book. A resource that provided addresses to welcoming businesses all over the United States. Galveston claim at least 12 businesses listed in the green book most of them found in Galveston‘s Black business District. As you can see, very little of this district remains today. Although very few of the homes and buildings remain, we cannot forget the importance and history of perseverance and self-sustainability.Interested in information covered in this episode?
