    1. If you are attending , here are a few things to appreciate about the Oglethorpe Plan for Savannah. It’s taken me years to make these connections, and I wish someone had pointed them out to me.

    We are a coalition of West End local businesses and we know what we need: more local and community-owned food justice. But it's got to be done in our way and by us. So, West side folks, please attend to help us vision this well.

    Ok you don't want things built near you because "more traffic" is worse for your quality of life... so you build those in a "suitable" place further away to drive to? Isn't that what worsens traffic, ? 🤷‍♂️

    Charlotte City Councilmembers seem skeptical of the project. Ed Driggs says this isn't a "suitable place" for the project. Dimple Ajmera expressed concerns about quality of life. will need to act quickly. CMS needs to start construction in the spring for it to open in 2023

    Feeling nostalgia for my old graduate residence hall. This would not be possible in Charlotte. Many reasons, but the first is that it was made without the need to think about dedicated parking.

    Ha. NOMAs (brilliant term) are not a very wise Vision Zero advocates. I mean. c'mon, parking for bars?? If you get liquor with friends better make sure everyone has a parking spot.

    The plantation keeps eating America's lunch, despite our histories to oppose it ☝️. Amazon could de-plantationize itself with its bottom up organizational innovations to reward those workers fairly, but that's not the story of America we know and tell.

    1 out of every 153 American workers is an Amazon employee.

    Jane Jacobs wasn't simply being cynical when she said putting people at the center of city planning was a "superman's errand". She meant that to inspire us as THE challenge of our profession. Godspeed, Taiwo, as you take on that errand in another city. I'm glad our paths crossed.

    As 2021 draws to a close, I want to thank our dynamic community and the amazing City of Charlotte Planning Dept staff for all we achieved together this year. As l join the great team at the City of Greensboro starting Feb. 1, l would like to give a shout-out to .

    It's great that as we explore startup/web3 paradigms, we keep hearing about the beauty of small groups, so the small group "tythings/cooperative" and (unbounded) "gardens" of colonial Savannah's anti-plantation strategy probably has a lot of power.

    100% agree with . Very important to preserve the “small” in teams. Even without meaning to, a 6 person team grows to 12 people and paradoxically slows down by 50%. versus speeding up 2x. Free riding, lack of accountability, poor alignment all increase with team size > 6.

    And that bit of the Sermon on not calling someone a fool (lest you goad others to murder), is an especially pertinent message for our time. The toughest thing I've witnessed in this blessed season is not just Trump but Evangelical leaders(!) goading others to murder.

    The Christmas message we should know better. 👇

    In honor of Christmas, let's acknowledge what is the best attested Jewish sermon delivered during the life of Jesus.., I am of course referring to the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by Jesus himself. A 🧵 on the Sermon on the Mount (SotM) in its 1st century Jewish context. 1/13

    I simply would not have foreseen that would be taking on this imagination project in Season 4 of City of the Future, but, okay, ya got me. How do we create the version of Hudson Yards with E-S-G-investing as it's bottom line? I'm listening.

    I think the urbanism of is spot on. We simply don't know where the design problem is. Our cities are just not easy vessels for the potential multi-story-ness of the pedestrian city, true, but that doesn't mean romantic pedestrian overpasses can't exist.

    Not going to lie, if I hear "Mexico City" and "authentic", I am only happy to judge.

    “We have this opportunity to really explore what’s going on with Mexican cuisine,” says Alyson Davis. Her new restaurant concept — Maiz, Agua, Sal — will dish up authentic Mexican cuisine.

    "Unhistoric" must be ironic since I see this as historic modernism. Hard to not see art nouveau, all the more so with the Gaudi turrets thing going on at the top.

    I love this word by Arthur Griffin and others by former residents of Brooklyn now up in beautifully restored Pearl Street Park. This is how we best memorialize a community so heartlessly displaced... With the words and names of those who remember Brooklyn.

    More like moving into all housing.

    So, remember that ‘remote work and covid mean people are moving out of cities’ thing?

    What e-bikes mean for Uptown: instead of freeway loops and 4-lane one way "streets", we will have superillas and ribbon parks.

    The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike's share of ALL their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via
