/13 Why? For proximity to power. For prestige. For attention.

Some tongues were made to praise God. Some tongues were made to sing. Some were made for poetry, some for prose, some to agitate and some to soothe.

But some tongues were made for the boot.

I understand the sentiment, but the BG Trail, for example, really is a multi-use "trail" and people need to stop doing their time trials on it.

One of the purposes of the trail actually is joy-riding. Riding (& walking & running) are joyful. And this is space in the city we have reserved for joy.

Yep, you're right!

The best urbanism wants to just let people do what they want.

If people want to drive an hour to work, no skin off my nose as long as I don't have to pay for it.

I just want them to afford us the same courtesy and let us build the housing (some) people want, close in.
