We're back for the first episode in 2025 (!!), where we'll work harder to thread the needle between championing urbanism wholeheartedly, and understanding public concerns about safety + comfort.
This year, nuanced thought will be as critical as ever. It should not be controversial to say that — in pursuit of building better places and ways to move between them — women and children must feel safe.
This is a self-reflective rant, as much as it is a general prescription for the audience.
We discuss:
00:00 The show, in 2025.
02:56 New Year's resolutions.
06:41 Addressing public transportation safety while championing transit and collectivism.
13:00 The need for nuance in urban planning, design, and American political ideologies as a whole.
25:44 Greatest American inventions debate.
32:19 Hosting family, and rediscovering your love for your city or town.
39:01 Wrapping up.
