It is high time we place peak value in our urban tree canopy here in Chicago and in the rest of the country. Unless dead or dying, it is imperative that cities see only net growth year-over-year regarding their tree canopy coverage. Chicago city officials agree, but what about these lost trees?

Check out my recent post! A tad bit of investigative journalism on some restaurant shenanigans in #chicago, and it's #42ndward. Who cut down those trees? Why does it matter?

Tree coverage in your city is not just for the aesthetics. It is time we treat tree coverage in our built environments with the vital importance it deserves. Let's #investigate! #Chicago #Science #Sciencejournalism

The title of my last Substack article was "I Thought You All Liked Electric Cars?", inspired by the uncountable number of times someone tried to "Gotcha!" me while discussing environmental issues. However, I think my title is to poignant for the LinkedIn generation that I cross post my articles too🤣
I Thought You All Liked Electric Cars?

Hey, let's talk EVs. As opinion shifted throughout the years since 2010, certain segments of the population were left out of the discussion. Now those same folk are asking: "Wait, I thought you all liked electric cars?"

Hey all, just posted a continuation/follow up to last week's article, "What is the Post-Modern Suburb?". This week we look at not the "what's next" for suburbia in America, but the nitty-gritty "why" and "how" it failed us. Check it out now! #ENVS #YIMBY #Policy

The suburbs are cooked, and we can blame car culture. Even our city centers have built around the parking garage. How do we get away from the automobile in this country when everything is built with low density in mind? Bike subsidies, parking garage repurpose projects, land tax changes?
What is the post-modern suburb?
The modern American suburb is the result of unnatural market forces and unrealistic dreams, the so-called “American dream”. What do we go from here?

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Despite so much regression over the past 11 months, I want to point out some things that have made me happy these past few days/weeks:
1. Chicago transit funding
2. Neighborhoods and people coming together against ICE
3. Mamdani and all the other great election victories today
Momentum!!!
