  1. I always assumed that they were a not much fun married couple..

  2. Well put together, and amazing. I see more what my sons have been doing with music and computers.

  3. I thought he was good.

  4. Your comment seems correct. People invest thought on the political divide and it keeps them from looking at issues objectively. I like this woman's attitude.

  5. I was a city planner for a large city. The attitude from the top was that we would prefer to have homeless people leave. They were given free bus rides to other cities.

  6. Just a young man hobby. He also plays the violin like Sherlock Homes...in dramatic bursts of music at random times. Entertaining to live with.

  7. Thank you for this. I had never heard of an Alford plea. It makes the criminal justice system look like a farce.

  8. More than a supplement, I considered hos advice to have injections to fool my body into thinking it was pregnant. I briefly considered it. Thanks for this. Sounds like a quack

  9. You are not unique.

  10. Welcome to my life. This was definitely underdiagnosed when I was a kid. I didn't understand why I was getting bad grades even though I was reasonably bright and had good intentions. This can be hard for a kid.

  11. It's a never-ending process, as it should be. My favorite parts to it have withstood all kinds of crazy tests and discussions for a long time. This might be the real value of the Constitution. It is politically unlikely that someone would say that people should not have the right to free speech (for example).

  12. Excellent reporting. I had not expected that part at the end that provided the greater context and analysis. Imagine if more news went that extra step in educating the viewer about why this would happen.

  13. This was beautifully filmed, and not just the drone photography. When I see that it is this guy, I know that I will be interested. I love geography.

  14. The first. Good point.

  15. Thank you for this excellent series.

  16. I can see your point. Recently the Chinese business association came out in force when a safe injection site was placed in their midst. It still makes sense because that area has the high concentration of junkies. Here in Edmonton, we have incorporated 24-hour public washrooms that will be safe for the homeless into the Boyle Street community. The City has adopted a ten-year plan to end homelessness.

  17. That would be the smart design solution, jajjfahisdjoigfe. I got to know this guy once because I walked by him several days a week. He was always in the same spot, near a statue of Jesus standing with his arms outstretched. He was harmless and sweet. (I don't mean his smell.) I started to bring him water and sandwiches. One day I saw that someone had brutally beaten him. I never saw him again. I won't forget him. Why would anyone beat up a guy like that? How could a person be that evil?
    5
  18. Wow. I have thought that there seem to be a lot more mass shootings. I didn't realise the extent of the increase. I wonder what it is exactly? Good analysis. Thank you.

  19. As a planner, I believed that the city belongs to everyone. After facilitating the siting of some homeless shelters, I learned that it is the neighbours who adamantly don't want them around. It was the politics of the squeaky wheel. We sometimes ended up putting them in industrial districts. This was not ideal for the homeless.

  20. How sciencey. Other than making me sneeze I find cats charming.

  21. I had never heard of such a thing until the Rohynga in Myanmar. This makes me wonder if there are other cases. With the migrant crisis in general, there are many potential subjects. I hope this series will continue.

  22. It is down to such small units of time. I had a DHL driver help me out when he waited about three minutes for me to get my emergency package together, but he had to use a trick on the system. That must make this a stressful job.

  23. Once, my kids brought a stray cat home when we already had a dog. You are right. It depends somewhat on the personalities of the specific animals.There is a trick to making it work. If you keep the cat confined to one part of the house for a week or two, they gradually become used to each other by scent. They somehow negotiated the interspecies communication.

  24. I may be taking liberties to imagine that I am allergic to chemical burns.

  25. You are so right, Angela Davis.

  26. I loved geography and chose the cultural branch for my undergraduate study. That led me to become an urban planner and have a job that I mostly enjoyed for the next 30 years. Cultural geography has many other applications.

  27. The city is like a living organism, YepIts ThatGuy. It is all connected. Some think that government should not engage in this kind of social planning. Given that every action has its consequences (intended or otherwise) not doing it is a kind of random social engineering.
    3
  28. My friend who also works in a shelter has told me that when there are enough people, they form their own systems of policing for protection of the weaker Iamtop. After watching some videos on the homeless in Japan, where the mentally ill are taken care of made me think that it would be interesting to study the homeless by country. I suspect that socialized medicine, for example, would make a huge difference.

  29. I wonder if they factor in the cost of fatigue driven accidents? I have known transportation engineers who think that there should be a separate highway system for big trucks, as they present a disproportionate risk.

  30. I love how they started with no idea how they would do it. Also the way that they deliberately created randomness in the work. It reminds me of David Bowie's random word generator. What a brilliant way to depict the nature of the ocean.

  31. I too love both dogs and cats.

  32. You are more a scientist and I am more a dramatist, but we are both right. One definition of "allergic" is "having an aversion to." We both agree that if bitten by fire ants, one is screwed. :)

  33. I feel that the universe may be telling me to get a job.

  34. How does become trapped in the Southern Hemisphere?

  35. Poetic interpretation.

  36. True as that may be, it keeps us from turning into "Animal Farm", somewhat.

  37. There have been some questionable Supreme Court decisions, at times. I agree that judges should not lean.

  38. Good example of crime prevention through environmental design. Beautiful. Make the City their City.

  39. I think that you are correct, Winston Posegate. France's system is a combination of public and private and some consider it the world's best. In the States, medicine is like the banking system. Basically, taken over by pirates with the cooperation of our corrupt lawmakers.

  40. Same, Nudge.

  41. Truth, Earla Weese. The situation is obscene.

  42. We could learn about cultures by studying their homeless.

  43. It does not seem impossible that some of them enjoy inflicting the misery, Ked Kangaroo.

  44. Excellent writing. Thank you. This "security theatre" is sometimes intentionally used as an excuse to start wars for economic purposes and warp the intentions and where the money actually goes in rescue efforts. (See "Disaster Capitalism")

  45. This writing is crisp and concise. Good job.

  46. He might loosen up if he does this enough. He seems like he wants to do well and that is making him nervous.

  52. It may be simplistic to attribute these results to urban planners. Great video. Thank you for posting.

  53. This is well written, young wolf.

  54. There were full-time officers and security teams at my sons elementary and high schools in the suburbs. There may have been things not visible to me...I could not see danger at a level that warranted full-time police. I wonder if this also applies to children of Hispanic immigrants, this being over-policed? In my sons Arizona schools some 40% of the students were Hispanic, and I am pretty sure that this has increased since. I still do not understand why the elementary school playground looked like social apartheid. High school was somewhat better.

  55. Phoenix would look similar to Las Vegas.

  56. The satiric coverage is much better. Also, it would be ridiculously daring to get the facts wrong in satire.

  57. At first, I thought you meant Corbusian superblocks. I like this new approach of retrofitting existing blocks for this by limiting cars. It seems accurate that planners in North American cities have had the greatest success in creating mixed-use, walkable development projects in upscale areas with some affordable housing where mandated. I hope that this approach is successful and spreads. This would take political will. One thing that may encourage the spread of this is that people generally love this kind of a place. These areas are typically vibrant and lend a wonderful quality of chance human interaction that somehow connects people.

  58. Good point. Someone like Debbie Dooley is more likely to generate change than people talking about the "other side" in respective caucuses. Someone stepping out of the boundaries is often that thing it takes to move policy forward. Thanks for this.
    1
  59. This seems promising. Couldn't the gerymanderers claim that anything is circumstantial, though?
    1
  60. This is impressive. I had not thought of someone like the Pope getting through to people on climate change. There is Debbie Dooley again. I love how she advocates taking partisan politics out of thinking about the environment. Culture Strike seems a genius idea. This could also be used as a model to advocate for economic change.

  61. Thank you for this excellent reporting.

  62. Thank you for this, and thank you for including a discussion of suicide. My sister shot herself two years ago. I believe that her crisis might have passed and she might be alive if she had not been able to easily buy a gun in only a few days. I wrote this a year ago and have changed my thinking. She had planned her death for at least a year, and would have found a different way.
    1
  63. Maybe this is correct. She could have found another way to do it. Looking back, I think that she may have methodically planned her death for up to year. This could be an emotional reaction to the fact that it is difficult to think of her driving her car out into the desert and blowing her head off. This has run through my mind now a thousand times. I do know for certain that I hate guns. On the other hand, why do people often call suicide hot lines right as they are killing themselves? I speculate that they must be feeling ambevilent.
    1
  64. My sister was not a usual person. After, I realized that there were many guns in her art. I am glad that you mentioned this because, no...I do not actually think she would not have killed herself without a gun at all. It is confusing that I will never understand, can never understand because it is just unknowable. I just realized that I have thrown every vague possibility into the mix, hoping to get around this. This has been an obsfucation. I feel calm with this realization. Two years elapsing has also been helpful. Glad you mentioned this. Thank you.

  65. Those things are nasty biters.

  66. Maybe everyone is. One day I was getting my mail in Phoenix and quite a few of them ran up my shin and bit me all at once. It was painful and itchy for a few days.

  67. I pay more for chicken that is raised humanely. If this became more widespread, wouldn't the costs go down? Beef s the meat I have heard cited as impacting greenhouse gasses.

  68. This seems like the opposite of racism. Meditation teaches people to listen to their inner voices and think from a place of calm strength. Thanks for posting.

  69. I didn't know that one could get a Stonehenge kit. Thanks for the great gift idea. Interesting talk.

  70. Good question. We should be.

  71. Good idea. A high proportion of conflict occurs at borders. How about the adjacent US / Mexican border towns of El Paso and Juarez? In 2000, the bodies of 400 women and girls were found in the desert around Juarez. These crimes went unsolved. From what I have heard, this may have worsened. Along the riverbed at the border crossing is a tall frost fence topped by razor wire. I wonder if the maquiladoras that funded a 2000 "Vision Plan" for Juarez in cahoots with the World Bank are still there? I think that there might have been cheaper labor that drew the profiteers somewhere else. El Paso looks like a city without a soul, lined with strip malls. Juarez has some beautiful old buildings. It must have been lovely at one time. Now it is an unusually violent place.

  72. Thank you. Useful, in a general sense.

  73. I think there was already one update. I like the narrator's voice I remember from tv as a kid on the Eames version, but we know more physics. Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone I have thought of as the popular face of physics, like Carl Sagan once was. He is engaging.

  78. Law by coup d'' etat?

  79. I am not sure that I understand your point about ruling from the bench. Can you give me an example?

  80. Thank you. Good example. Most of my knowledge of Constitutional law relates to land use decisions.

  81. Thank you. I have some reading to do.

  82. What would be the process for this? It would take a sea change, wouldn't it?

  83. That is a good point that people are one category or another even if they fall right around the middle. In thinking about how this applies to me, I took the test 3 different times about a decade apart and got the same results. It may indicate some personality tendencies. I would not rely on it for more than that.
    1
  84. What a good idea. I wonder if many people do this?
    1
  85. I suspect that drivers would take an alternate route to get somewhere quickly so these spaces may promote pedestrianism. I once heard a Chinese traffic engineer describe greater flows without regulation that work based on "critical mass." Whichever stream has the greater number of cars, bicycles, or people walking will have the "natural" right of way. I have yet to see this work efficiently myself, but he claimed that it could.

  86. Good journalism here. Mayhem sells. Outlier bias seems to permeate the news. (The popcorn was a nice touch.) I have noticed this with BLM coverage. It seems like one violent nutcase can turn social opinion against a movement. Staging one might be an easy way to damage a or kill a protest movement.

  87. I may have missed this, but why would one keyboard be better than another? I am guessing that it might be the mechanics of the human hand and the frequency that letters occur?

  92. I agree, Ben Larsen. I once found myself in the States without health insurance. I knew I needed some labwork so went online to check prices. When I said that I wanted a particular lab because they charged less. They sent my tests to a different lab, and I paid half the cost. Although what we have now is not a free market, maybe in some small ways consumers becoming their own advocates could be popularized?
    1
  93. There are laws against US citizens buying their drugs from Canadian pharmacies, where prices are about half, for example. That is hardly an example of free enterprise.

  94. This is similar to the classic planning process. The sequencing is different because we present a variety of alternatives at once.

  95. Good point, Andrew knorpp. I read a study once that people would rather have less money and more then their neighbour than more money but the neighbour gets the same.

  96. Planners can only do what is not precluded by state enabling legislation, which is often subverted by business interests. People often do not want to face reality. I once lost my job because I hired a consultant to do a regional open space plan and the mapped topography of hillsides and floodplains resembled an "urban growth boundary." (I had no idea in advance, these were just the physical features.) This frightened the homebuilders, even though I took the politically neutral stance "There has to be some standard for an area that should not be developed", without recommending a standard.
    1
  97. Every state has disaster management plans that are done with varying degrees of participation by the military and local governments. You raise a good point. In the case of forest fires, for example there is no precedent for the damage caused by extended draught and bark beetles. There are miles of areas of dead or sick forest which are measured annually with infrared photography. The situation has gotten much worse in recent decades. These are poised to go up like tinderboxes. This was not thought of when people built homes in the forest because it had not occurred to anyone as something that might happen. It is likely that people who wanted a house in the woods would disbelieve and ignore a warning from planners for something they had never heard of or experienced. A local fire department has a few fire trucks, there is no fast capability to fight a hundred house fires at once. Often it takes repeated disasters for people to realise the consequences of their incredulity. Then the legislation and planning can change quickly, even though it is still opposed by any lobby that has been making money with the status quo.

  99. I was saddened when the Iraq war under W failed to provide post-war security to some of the oldest and most important museums and libraries in history. It made me ashamed to live in the States.

  100. One could argue that the detrimental effects to the internal organs caused by excessive alcohol consumption should be on there too.

  105. You deserve the subscribers. This might be an obscure topic, but how about one on how people with high-functioning autism or Asperger's can cultivate happy marriages?

  109. It seems unlikely that a "citizenship" question would get honest responses. It would also cause more people to not respond at all. This isn't just data. It is a critical tool for planning infrastructure and assessing the social impacts of different actions of government.
    1
  110. Thank you for this. Given the spike in mass shootings over the past several years, it may be a good idea to look into the laws that still allow the purchase of semi-automatic weapons. This seems an important distinction in the gun debate.

  111. In grade 1, I had recurring nightmares that I would go home from school and find my house bombed and family dead. I don't think hiding under my desk really would have made a difference.

  112. Good Minnesotan joke. Albertans are like that too.

  114. Quick Fix especially when the artist is this good.
    1
  115. I had not thought of it that way, PB S. I have just been schooled. Thank you. My first thoughts were that the court sketch artist is not there to see that justice is made. They create these sketches to portray these events to a curious public. The court should not be influenced by public opinion. On the other hand, journalism that looks for tears is clearly corrupt. Even if the sketch artist attempted to be a realist, there would be the potential of an added filter of their own bias. The journalist code of ethics requires that coverage be "fair and comprehensive." This raises a different question. Why aren't cameras allowed in the courtroom to provide a documentary record? There must be a prevailing interpretation of the Constitution that allows this to happen.

  116. an oxymoron, liansandstrom.

  119. I think it is shifting in both directions, Andrew.

  120. Inviting participants to add to the list was smart. Once I formed an ad hoc group of all the planning directors in Maricopa County. It reminds me of this because they were expert and smart. All of their ideas were a lot more powerful than any one of them.
