A secretive system lets companies demand billions from countries when they pass laws to protect people or nature. The worst part? Financial firms now fund these lawsuits to cash in on the payouts.

These systems we depend on
Are brittle - so fragile.
Best roll with the waves,
Surf steady - stay agile.

One step at a time.

Thousand-mile journeys
Meet these feet of mine.

it's really unfortunate that our leaders - from the city level to the state level - are completely failing to understand we need TOD to prioritize a good social and economic mix of residents, climate adaptation, and positive public health outcomes.

it's why i wrote my book!

Rad. Never in a million years thought I'd be holding a book I wrote.

Thanks to Island Press and my editor Heather Boyer.

Thanks to Alex Steffen, Dave Roberts, and Carlos Moreno for the incredibly kind words.

Let's get to work building better, more affordable, and climate adaptive cities!

Where do the world's richest people live?

According to our flagship State of Power report, the US remains ahead in terms of the global billionaire population.

I'll be gradually leaving Instagram and divesting from the TechBroFascist platforms in general.

Honestly I think Pixelfed may be a safer bet in the long run. But setting up an outpost here too to see how things grow 🌱
