My latest at CSY. One man's quest to see all of Chicago reminds me that more of us need to do the same thing, in all cities, and learn from the experience. Then we'll have the perspective we need for improvement.

An "abundance" agenda in our local, state, and national institutions and politics is a winner and could change the way people engage with government and society.

[Nick Tarpey @Tarpey24]

Joined in on the fray and finally finished Abundance. While I can see the critiques about its over-simplicity and neoliberal bent, I do think one of its underlying messages, that it's not popular to live under a politics of scarcity, is a huge hitter.

[Nick Tarpey @Tarpey24]

The notion that government can do big, fun, innovative things...and act quickly and decisively in the path to doing so...is important! A politics of "yes, and" or "one more" is inclusionary and tangible.

Tremendous loss for urban planning and parking reform. Shoup's advocacy for correctly pricing the use of scarce urban land (in this case, street parking) changed the way I think about public goods in cities.

Browns, Cavaliers gambled on franchise saviors at the same time. Their results are not the same.

Why even predict things before the season? We all knew it would be Cleveland and Detroit facing off in the ALDS.

@jpodhoretz LeBron James is 39. He's not even the most successful Ohioan under 40.

Good policy responses to this dilemma include:

• LVT or other taxes aimed at deterring land speculation.

• Countercyclical production of social housing.

• Cultivate small incremental developers, whose timing is less driven by market cycles.

• Local alternative financing.

[Nick Tarpey @Tarpey24]

@rhett_carlson Yeah, mega bummer that it’s coming down imo. There was some scuttle about it, but not really a larger-scale push to save it.
