Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer A chorus of critics insist that building on undeveloped land is the only way out of the US housing crisis. But the environmental costs of unrestrained growth are overwhelming.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer: "Instead of promoting sprawl, increasing housing density in existing urban areas through infill development and upzoning can help address the housing shortage while minimizing environmental impacts." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When we grow with nature protecting our trees, floodplains, and green spaces-we grow stronger as a community.
If this speaks to you, I invite you to get involved or chip in to support the campaign. Every step forward counts.

I started posting on my Bluesky account after listening to @minakimes.bsky.social discuss it on PTFO. Prior to that I was skeptical.

El Funky is an important Cuban artist. A valiant freedom fighter that inspires other artists to take up beats and bars, not arms. His deportation to Cuba is a death sentence. Would his fate be different if he was born a white South African?

New Urbanist Complexity

Graffiti becomes gospel. Colors speaks.
Scaffolds of Feeling.
Sanctuary cities lead to the underground subway railroad.
Take the fire escape to feelings and form.
The resistance gathers in our backyard.
Urban density builds unconventional connections.

New Urbanist Vibes
A painting and a poem

It’’s the beauty found in proximity.
Unexpected connections visualized in a shared space.
A celebration of our complexity.
Those feelings that arise when we prioritize,
community and communication over fear and isolation.
