Happy to talk your ears off about ADUs, building envelopes, and permit streamlining! I’m a former city planner and current law student. I enjoy walkable cities, succulent gardens, sour pickles, and long train rides.

"I simply think that buildings should reflect the character of a place, like how Santa Fe is all adobe and how Dallas looks designed by a sentient Ford-F150."
A year ago, I heard that Oklahoma City had approved a plan to build Legends Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the entire Western hemisphere. Why were we building the Tower of Babel in the Heartland? I decided to investigate. This essay is the result. (gift link) thepickup.com/whats-so-wro...

No compromise on trans rights, ever.
the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.
Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.

Whatever you say about Romney, he was at least a decent person. For example, there's this classic story about him taking the cherished family dog on a road trip. Google Romney Dog Road Trip to learn more!
