Urbanist with a soft spot for legacy cities, maps, and housing. OCD survivor.
We have a Venturi fire station in New Haven and it's a similar deal.
GREAT numbers for zoning and housing reform in Sacred Heart's Connecticut poll.
I'm shocked that people will use AIPAC to justify bad candidates and vilify others. Shocked, I say.
This is still a fringe view, but it's also one gaining currency.
Choosing not to condemn Hamas and the murder of hundreds of people is quite the choice.
I guess it's refreshing to see an inverse on the "I'm all for affordable housing, but it's not right for my neighborhood." This guy is all for "blocking stuff", but think the NIMBYs went too far on this one.
I don't know why Mindy Isser gets the hate she sometimes does. She seems like an incredibly kind and thoughtful and honest human being, which, depressingly, is probably why certain people napalm her.
I went to Price Hill. 👌 Also, while everyone rightly suggests the train station, duck your head in at Dixie Terminal downtown. It's a 1920s streetcar and bus terminal.
We're at the point of Barney Frank, on his deathbed, urging Democrats to take a stand against progressives.
Huntington, West Virginia, has a downtown that is taller than I'd expected.
In some respects, Charleston, West Virginia, was what I expected. In others, it pleasantly surprised me.
One of the most beloved train stations in America, at least architecturally.
Cool redevelopment on the edge of Downtown Dayton. Dubbed the Water Street District, the mixed-use district is anchored by a minor league ballpark and the historic Delco Electronics complex since converted to multifamily and mixed-use developments.
There's also a redevelopment on the eastern edge of downtown called the Water Street District and anchored by a minor league ballpark and the historic Delco Electronics complex, which has been converted to apartments.
