Congratulations to Chelsea Ross-Favero, AICP on her promotion to MPO Division Manager! She will be responsible for the overall metropolitan planning organization (transportation) functions of the agency. A well-deserved recognition of her contributions over many years.

The @Mets have won 4 games since Monday, all on the road. In 3 of those games they scored a combined 18 runs in the 8th inning or later.
ALT Three photos of the New York Mets win probably charts showing their comebacks in the late innings. Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos can be seen celebrating in road gray Mets uniforms.

There are fair critiques here, but this overstates the legal or practical difficulty of using federal policy to encourage local zoning reform. HUD doesn't need to "micromanage." Just align the financial incentives and local policymakers will respond.
