Why?

Because impressionable midshipmen might be...what? Educated in aspects of American history and society they hadn’t personally experienced?"

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Grateful to @thenation.com for this interview about my book.

We talked about what really causes homelessness (hint: not addiction or mental illness), how its true scale is systematically obscured, and how entire business models exist to squeeze profit from people’s desperation for a place to live.
