AI isn’t replacing architects — it’s exposing them.
Architecture was never about production. It’s about judgment.
AI removes the noise.
The risk isn’t AI.
It’s defining our worth by what can be automated.

“Great urban projects” don’t fail because of bad design.
They fail because of parking requirements.

It seems empty cars matter more than people.

Remove parking minimums.

Right now—
we’re not designing for people.
We’re just designing to store cars.

While most citizens learned the importance of positive disruption and saw the 2019 'gap year' experience as an opportunity for growth, it seems apparent that our leaders did not - @wjournalpr #advfirm #leadership #rebuildPR https://t.co/NC0AY16WYv

Another challenge, as @advfirm’s @ralvarezdiaz told me, is whether the available housing units are safe.

AGREE @BarbaraStreis19 NO MISUSE OF RECONSTRUCTION FUNDS BY ANYONE IN PR-THE INDICTMENTS WERE TWO EX-FEMA EMPLOYEES IN ATLANTA AND THE PRESIDENT OF A MAINLAND PRIVATE CO. (NOT Puertoricans BTW)
Trump’s reason to continue to withhold funds for 3.2M US Citizens is just propaganda
