Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space —
Authority: 536
In an earlier comment thread, Cavan reminds me that some people can justifiably feel uncomfortable on transit because of raucous people, inappropriate behavior, etc. While I dont think that justifies creating separate shuttle bus systems, I do think we need to address the problems better than we do.

Oh, all right, this’ll be another miscellany post. 1. I was reading Sunday’s Frank Rich column on Sarah Palin while walking down Lincoln Avenue — the sadly silenced “ German Broadway .” The fiercely nativist, “politically incorrect,” anti-intellectual, non-reality-based far right certainly deserves ...6 days ago -
