just started a GTA V playthrough prior to VI. I think my plan is to write an "Urbanism of GTA VI" blog shortly after the release of that game.

Americans are like “its a long walk” and it is four minutes in a downtown with good sidewalks.

investing in an insta 360 camera soon and that is going to level up my urbanist content over on Instagram
Spartanburg's most mediocre BBQ restaurant closed and now folks are using it to say we need Morgan Square back open to car traffic. Luckily most of that sentiment is relegated to Facebook. My primary fear is that the Morgan Square redev will take too long and a future council will kill it entirely.

I get off at work early on Fridays during the summer #higheredlife and all I can think about is riding my bike when I get off. I feel like propeller hat dog.

A whole lot of people with otherwise progressive views suddenly get real mad when you talk about doing anything at all to address the scourge of speeding drivers killing people
"That future was a lie built by people who don't believe in empathy..It was a mirage built by dull and greedy egomaniacs who don't actually care about other human beings–or if the products they're selling actually work." And the gains are privatized while the losses will be socialized. Hate it.
