    "[County Executive] admits he's basically a political prisoner to townships that want to expand their tax base by turning farm fields into cul-de-sacs and residential builders that want to go about their business of turning farm fields into cul-de-sacs."

    More powerful than any sketch, photo, or rendering is to authentically experience a place and allow our natural intuition to be our guide.

    In a place where nearly everyone drives, living as an afterthought of the design process is needlessly full of indignities.

    Just received this gem in the mail. Thanks to and the folks at for driving the conversation toward some of the most central issues we ought to be discussing (especially if we care about community, social fabric, or human flourishing).
