What a week! Your representation in Congress is about to be from Kirkwood, folks! Federal bailout of Kirkwood Electric? A relocation of the Kennedy Center to KPAC? Marshall Fields as the nation's newest national park? All things are possible now that we have wiggle our way out from under the heel of the Ballwin menace!

In all seriousness, I truly never thought I'd see the day. Congratulations to all involved, I know how hard you all worked. My sincerest thank you; we are all better off for your efforts. This almost certainly means we're going to get a ROAD to Housing 2.0 working its way through congress, Nithya Raman seems to have defeated incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass and is expected to be a huge upgrade on the housing front, and California state Senator Scott Weiner, likely the single most effective YIMBY legislator in US history was elected to serve as Nancy Pelosi's successor in the SF congressional seat ...but the cherry on top? My Republican single-stair guy in St. Joseph seems to have held on by 559 votes.

It's absolutely amazing to witness what happened on Tuesday and then remember Kirkwood is getting sued by a Republican (Al Rheinnecker) —for a vote HE made I remind you—with the help of a conservative activist group, The Holy Joe Society, that was founded by a Republican activist judge who wrote a book in 2006 called "The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault."

More good news from Tuesday night? Webster City Council unanimously approved a lovely-looking 21-condo mixed-use infill project on a parking lot at 306 W Lockwood. If only Kirkwood had some downtown parking lots people wanted to build on! We can get projects like these you guys. Talk to me! We're leaving money and tax revenue on the table because Al got himself elected and decided he didn't want any neighbors? Very easy way to recoup some of the legal expenses the city is about to incur thanks to his antics: Every day the suit goes on, one more attainable apartment unit gets added to the East Jefferson lot behind his house!
