☆ Biden wants to hire 2,000 air traffic controllers in 2025

US President Joe Biden delivers remarks at the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference in Washington, DC, on March 11, 2024. The Biden administration said Monday it is seeking funding from Congress to hire another 2,000 air traffic controllers in the 2025 budget year after a series of near-miss incidents. The Federal Aviation Administration is facing a persistent shortage of controllers that has caused flight delays and forced the FAA to extend cuts to minimum flight requirements at congested New York City-area airports through October 2024. At many facilities, controllers are working mandatory overtime and six-day work weeks to cover staffing shortages. The FAA wants $43 million to accelerate the hiring and training controllers.

☆ Opinion | States Are Stifling the Voices of Cities and Their Voters

By reducing the right of localities to make their own decisions, Texas has joined dozens of other states that have asserted their dominance over cities in recent years through a practice known as state pre-emption. One watchdog group has counted more than 650 pre-emption bills in state legislatures this year; the large majority have been introduced by Republican lawmakers to curb policymaking in cities run by Democrats. But conservatives used to champion ideas like local autonomy, devolution and even block grants as a way of weakening centralized control. What’s now become clear is that Republicans dislike local control if they are not in charge of it. Restricting these ballot measures is fundamentally about depriving voters of a way to put a check on legislators, regardless of ideology.

Since 2016, only 112 commercial office spaces in the US have been converted, while 85 projects are underway or have been announced, according to CBRE's data. The birth of the central social districtTo avoid a commercial real-estate apocalypse, cities will need to streamline conversions.
