I find lost things, watch Ann Arbor City Council, and I like squirrels, tech, and city living. Change is fine. Primarily pedestrian.

Although most US cities have failed at attracting families with kids in downtowns and other urban places (largely through the creation of a self-fulfilling prophesy of failure), other places, including Vancouver, have succeeded. Read my @vox.com interview with @volts.wtf. www.vox.com/2017/6/21/15...
Young families typically leave cities for the suburbs. Here’s how to keep them downtown.
Urbanist Brent Toderian explains how Vancouver held onto its families.

Excuse me, what? This is almost as bad as the guy who said we shouldn’t build multi-family housing near elementary schools.

Ngl, the only time I was annoyed by the food was when it was an order from Taco Bell. Tios is close, local, and has a history of being the food that fueled council for years.

This is so dumb. Kathy Griswold has often brought cookies to meetings and shares them with commissioners. Other members of the public have brought cookies and he never complained. And, tbh, I never thought the food was for us. I thought it was for people attending, and I eat before the meetings.

This is all so wild!

Yeah, it was a beautiful night, but Main Street was so much less vibrant than it was during the summer with the streets closed. 😢
