My latest at CSY. What if I told you that a surveying system first devised 240 years ago figured prominently in the urban decline that hit Rust Belt cities 170 years later?

My latest at CSY. What we say is a housing affordability crisis in America is actually a misalignment between the system that delivers housing, and the people that buy and rent their products.

My latest at CSY. Detroit has successfully passed the first major step toward lasting revitalization. Why? More people are believing that the city is worth the effort.

My latest at CSY. Disinvested communities should be considered a big part of the solution to our nation's affordability crisis, and not part of the problem.

Chicago just got out of the hot and humid heatwave hitting the East Coast. I'm glad it's over - for now.

My latest at CSY. Cincinnati’s taken the first leap on this. Other Midwest cities may be next.

My latest at CSY. More metro areas could stand to learn much more about themselves, at finer levels. It will uncover things that will have to be addressed later.

My latest at CSY. One man's quest to see all of Chicago reminds me that more of us need to do the same thing, in all cities, and learn from the experience. Then we'll have the perspective we need for improvement.
