Today’s morning read. STREET FIGHT: Handbook for an Urban Revolution from the best director of transportation in NYC, @jsadikkhan . She is the leader in letting New Yorkers take back their streets: bringing unique pop up parks, bike lanes, pedestrian focused community spaces and more....including making Times Square be closed to pedestrians only. She speaks from the city perspective on processes / how to’s / why it matters which is so crucial. One of my favorite lines about bike lanes: “Today, you can measure the success of a street by the number of women and children getting around with two wheels.” She’s so right. While this is focused on NYC, of these lessons can be transferred to smaller towns and villages, too. 💙

I’m reading this book really slowly because it’s jam packed with goodness. Nordic people ensure health care, quality education, parental time off and more social benefits... not as a “safety net” or because they’re “lazy and entitled” but quite the opposite! It is the way to give themselves freedom. Freedom to not stress about their children’s education (and how they’ll pay for it or how they can afford a house in a good school district!), freedom to leave their jobs without stress of health care costs or coverage, freedom not not have to save for their kids college education from the day they were born, freedom to have kids knowing you have the time and foundation to provide them with a quality life, freedom to focus on hobbies, community and family time and furthermore, freedom for everyone to not worry about the basics so they can be their best self. I love Buffalo and love our little life here but why we can’t take these lessons is just bananas. And btw: they have capitalism there. Lots of it. But they put their people first. #nordictheoryoflove #nordictheoryofeverything #peoplefirst

Quarantine has business owners pretty darn busy trying to pivot / change / adapt / etc... but not traveling has helped to free up some headspace to do some things we’ve been always wanting to do. Today a small group of us from around the world will launch @proud_places (!) which will be an action packed website with information / articles / how tos on how to build strong communities. It isn’t meant to be another fancy urban planning site with big words and unlimited funds, it’s meant to be simple, fun and actionable resource for people to use. @buffalovedevelopment is thankful and excited to be a contributing partner to Proud Places! Check out @proud_places and join us today for our launch party at 5:30 - link in bio to the event! ⚡️💕🔨🌱
