1) To meet California's climate goals, we need people to drive less.
2) To have people drive less, we need shorter commutes.
3) To have shorter commutes, we need more housing close to jobs.
4) HOUSING IS A CLIMATE POLICY.

Single women own just 32 cents for every $1 owned by White men; Black and Latina women own less than a penny. That’s stark. Check out this article by @womenswealthgap showing why we need to #ClosetheWealthGap now. https://t.co/S5HIhoZCbc

Cool experiment. They don't prove that "anthropomorphism [affects] aesthetic appraisal"...but they confirm: we appreciate things more, when we understand how they were created. https://t.co/fRqzmdcPuF

@OaktownBlue also good: "The best impact investors I know don’t even view themselves as investors; instead, they see themselves and act as community organizers, activists, and social justice warriors, working on the frontlines with and behind the communities that they serve"

[Max Heninger @MaxHeninger]

Great piece from @CityLab and @amandakhurley on how the distinctions between city and suburb are breaking down. “Instead of exacerbating an affordable housing crisis in a pricey urban center, Amazon could help build a model of an inclusive urban suburb” https://t.co/XzSDzJpms9

Brilliant summary of dark currents in the movement to #digitize #currency. (In INDIA, 50% of ppl have bank accounts. So who benefits from killing paper currency? #FinTech corporations.) https://t.co/pnEEzzoSOB
