I'm acting as your curmudgeon again Brian. You failed to mention or even allude to our climate crisis. I M O, if you actually seriously look at prioritizing our urban environment the climate crisis we're already into is THE most important issue we have to deal with.

There are constructive solutions. Lots of them, but these need to be part and parcel of every effort we make in creating healthy cities and neighbourhoods.

Bill, I agree with your comments, would suggest that the gentler density, preservation, etc., that we champion addresses the climate crisis. I am not expert enough to tackle climate science issues, but am knowledgeable enough to know what I believe helps us do better.

Happy New Year!
