It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Now is the best time, maybe ever, to learn the history of racism. This article on a brilliant new new effort to surface the racist 'relay' school policy in Cleveland is outstanding.

You know what's not mentioned in the article even once?

Meetings.
Grant proposals.
Strategic plans.

Helsinki DID THE THING instead of talking about the thing.

Cleveland is doing its first "quick build street improvements" now, 2½ years into its ten-year Vision Zero plan.

#nomoremeetings
“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”

City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.

I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero
Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death
A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

Notably not on the list: big real estate projects.

Cleveland take note. Social problems call for social solutions.
