There goes the “violent left” narrative.
This is great news for launching the Cape Cod Housing AND Climate Innovation Center! @JoeCurtatone @JulianCyr @BarnstableMA @PN1CapeCod @dsavarese1 @johncoxpr
The climate crisis is our greatest threat, but there's enormous opportunity in our response. That's why our budget includes the first installment of our pledge to triple the funding of the @MassCEC.
I'm really excited about that. And I'll tell you why you should be too.
This was a great week! It included @JeffSpeckFAICP in @hyannisMA to lead the planning for a #GreatStreets makeover, and exciting developments on #CapeCod at the intersection of #housing and #climate!

There's something wonderfully charming about restaurants & other commercial uses in house-like structures in the middle of residential neighborhoods.
There's a coziness that makes you feel as though you're visiting someone's home, for a warm, nightly neighborhood party!

Still time to register (virtually) for our conference this Friday at Yale: Cities as the Solution to Climate Change.
Everybody talks about the supply side: electrification.
We all know the demand side works better: density, transit, bikes & feet.

Most new apartment buildings make no allies because there's very little effort that goes into how they should fit within a neighborhood.
Instead of an imposing structure w/ 3 materials in 6 different colors, this new 5-over-1 is nice & graceful, thanks to just a little effort!

“The new normal, a world in which affordable housing is scarce and remote work opens up the map, is one in which forward-thinking municipalities can use affordable housing as their primary economic development tool.” @bruce_katz
Housing 2022 — “homeowners don’t want to see new development, investors benefit more from hoarding limited supply than creating new, and cities see housing costs increase until their economies start bleeding residents”: my latest w @michaelsaadine thenewlocalism.com/newslette…
Great commentary on Boston Globe’s disappointingly narrow advocacy journalism featuring stories such as “The legislature is closing in on a major climate bill. Will real estate developers stand in the way?” The real work is to solve for #housingANDclimate

Few writers tell the stories of this region like Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge, and few producers get these stories told like @KrisMeyer. The trio’s spellbinding collaboration on the upcoming #SaintsSinnersSerialKillers #podcast is not to be missed! deadline.com/2021/02/casey-s…

"We move children to suburbs to control them,
not to respond to something they want. I think the biggest fake ever perpetrated is that children like, + need, big yards. What children like are other children."
—Kenneth Jackson, author of Crabgrass Frontier, quoted in #Straphanger.

Why every single Republican isn't speaking the way GOP Gov. Baker is speaking here is just beyond me.
This is huge and reflective of the “think big” opportunities that exist for places like #MainStreet #Hyannis @BarnstableMA @hyannismainst
BREAKING: @nycmayor on @BrianLehrer: Open restaurants will be “permanent and year-round.”
“I want to go for the gold and make this model part of the life of NYC for years to come,” he says.

This image of the Dutch prime minister shows what the Bicycle is all about: easily and safely biking to work, while nonchalantly eating an apple. That's what millions of Dutch people do daily, regardless their social class or income. 🚲
