I found out earlier today that my Saturday oped on “roads” vs “transportation” is getting picked up by Planetizen.com – Maybe that’ll make the comments section a bit more, er, balanced.
Other tidbits:
• NYTimes looks at LEED buildings and finds not all of them are all that “green.” I’ve been hearing for some time about dissatisfaction with LEED ratings.
• New blog, “The Avenue” is a collaboration between the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program and The New Republic magazine. It’s about “policies and places in America today” and “will explore what it means to be a metropolitan nation.”
• Kiplinger.com declares North Carolina one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees. Check it out.
• My buddy Joe Urban (aka Sam Newberg of Minneapolis) writes about Charlotte and its light rail for Urban Land Magazine. Check it out.
