This rapid uptick in #homelessness has been a federal policy choice... which is why so many local organizations are innovating approaches.

We review these attempts at #poverty alleviation with a survey of 105 #guaranteedincome programs in the US: doi.org/10.1515/bis-...

Really loved "Our Moon" - a sweeping history of geological formations, evolution of life, and the history of science.

For all the urban plans oriented along cardinal directions, this book explains humanity's repeat cultural homage to our place within the cosmos.

1/9: I teach in the Department of Human Ecology- and this is our introductory textbook, written in 1949 by George Zipf. The scholar would die the next year at the age of 48. I often think of what might have happened to the field had he lived.

More than half of California cities are addressing environmental justice--- an awesome boost--- thanks to pathbreaking work from early adopter communities and technical planning assistance from nonprofit groups like #CEJA

Awesome student team at PlanSearch has finished uploading all the updated + adopted city and county comprehensive plans for California.

That's 1,709 PDFs covering 138M words. These are essentially advertisements of what communities want: density, greenbelts, preservation...
