70 / Nuance.

We're back for the first episode in 2025 (!!), where we'll work harder to thread the needle between championing urbanism wholeheartedly, and understanding public concerns about safety + comfort.

This year, nuanced thought will be as critical as ever. It should not be controversial to say that — in pursuit of building better places and ways to move between them — women and children must feel safe.

This is a self-reflective rant, as much as it is a general prescription for the audience.

We discuss:

00:00 The show, in 2025.

02:56 New Year's resolutions.

06:41 Addressing public transportation safety while championing transit and collectivism.

13:00 The need for nuance in urban planning, design, and American political ideologies as a whole.

25:44 Greatest American inventions debate.

32:19 Hosting family, and rediscovering your love for your city or town.

39:01 Wrapping up.
