California architect designing hospitality-inspired homes + multifamily residential. Los Gatos Planning Commissioner. Beauty, character, and aesthetics matter.

To have a society that's safe, free, and pleasant for 99% of people, you need to seriously deal with the raping, thieving, murderous 1%.

The New York Times still carries itself like it controls the national conversation, while that conversation increasingly happens everywhere else.
Wouldn’t be surprised if I live long enough to watch it fade into irrelevance, a relic of the media world it once dominated.
