My task today: outline the best potential design options to reuse this mid-century building (or not).
Moon Colonization an Important Issue? Really?
Great discourse on an important subjuct by robertreich that ends up loosely tied to city planning on the moon of all places:
Newt’s latest idea, for example – to colonize the moon – is typically whacky.
As Reich reminds us, American citizens should not be so flippant as to simply assume a Newt nomination equates to an Obama victory. Our social and economic future is not something to gamble with — especially with weird speculation about moon colonization.

Walkability Report Generates Questions
New walkability benchmarking report out with some provocative results. I’m curious how Alaska can be the highest ranking state with regard to walking levels, but not have a city that ranks in the top 50.
Also, not surprising, the places with the most walking look like they have the most bike-ped related fatalities, but such inferences generate their own set of questions. All are significant areas of opportunity for research.
