When people live in vibrant, connected environments, they thrive. But in neglected, isolating “cages” issues like addiction and apathy flourish. If we want change, we must build better spaces that foster connection, purpose, and pride. Let’s create communities where people can truly thrive.

Yesterday, I led a workshop in Palmetto with Florida Main Street on combating civic apathy by fostering pride. After, Keep Manatee Beautiful hosted a scavenger hunt/trash cleanup. We saw the power of teamwork and the pride in action. Small steps, big impact! #CivicPride #Palmetto

1/11 Your city is sick. These posts are highlights from my book, Your City is Sick, where I explore why so many cities are struggling and how we can transform them into thriving, healthy communities. Let’s rethink how we treat the places we call home.

If you want to live in a place where all the brightest don’t move away, you’re going to have to accept some standards.

Suburbs make me sad and angry at the same time.

100 years ago tomorrow. New York Times, November 23, 1924: “The automobile looms up as a far more destructive piece of mechanism than the machine gun. The reckless motorist deals more death than the artilleryman. … Immediate action [is necessary] to halt the homicidal orgy of the automobile.”

I think a second book just about place might be in my future.

A woman in Texas said to me last week that they need to change the local culture in order to make the town nicer, but it’s actually the other way around. The culture improves along with the conditions of the built environment.
