Their splash page has a picture of a mural with three very dated pop cultural images. Depressingly, I'm old enough to remember all of them when they were current.
Is there a benefit to the cyclicality of American culture? Sometimes I get discouraged by how impulsive we are. We had streetcars 100 years ago (I wish we hadn't devoted the entire country to cars in the 60's)
Yep. It's truly sad what we've lost. And of course nearly everything new that has been built was done so with the assumption that everyone will drive everywhere all the time. Fortunately things are starting change, but we need to spread the word and grow the awareness that it doesn't have to be this way.
More city planners need to watch this video and listen to Speck and Jeff.
Indeed!
I am! Big fan of Jeff Speck. Also Ellen Dunham-Jones
One of the best episodes yet! I love Jeff Speck, and glad to see he's growing the movement with Chris!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, looking forward to seeing good things emerge from Speck Dempsey. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Cheers! John
