Really to happy to see the @OmniCRA and @VagabondGroup project “16 Corner” finally cutting the ribbon on the final building. This 5-building affordable rehab project in Overtown kept residents in place at rents they can still manage.

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

i've been thinking about donald appleyard's research on social interaction diagram a lot in relation to some of the topics in my book and some recent podcast discussions specifically the social isolation crisis, and how we plan and build multifamily housing in the US today

In the heat, carrying an umbrella -- your own shade -- clearly makes an enormous difference. Also, cities should keep planting more trees!

@bsky.app I really like the feeds, but why does the list of "interests" continue to be so limited and weird. Sometimes I want to do some off-feed exploring but it's like "comedy" "sports" "tech." There must be a way to drill down on more specific interests.

Great thread

By the time you’ve reached your forties you will have lived to see the newspapers that insisted that the country you grew up in was on the verge of social collapse portray those very same years of your youth as a period of blissful social cohesion.
