“If policymakers want to make housing more affordable and available, more federal support is needed for housing assistance and development, not less. ... To better address the ongoing housing affordability crisis, the federal government could invest in these housing needs, rather than undermine them.”

David Graeber has been dead four years and still publishes more than me. New co-authored book excerpt and synopsis here …

“We started a project called Made Differently: designed to play with the possibility and to overcome the suspicion—instilled in us every day—that life is limited, miserable, and boring.
Our first focus is Cities Made Differently, exploring different ways of living together.”

CounterPunch.org · Cities Made Differently: Try Imagining Another Urban ExistenceImagine a city without any strangers, where everything is shared, and everyone looks after each other. There are no shops, no money, and no danger at all. We think of the family as a group that practices “basic communism”: from each according to his ability to each according to his needs. Any family is thought to be protected by bonds of kinship from the cruel laws of the outside world. Unlike businesses, rarely will a family throw out a sick child or an elderly parent because they are no longer “revenue-generating assets.”

Here’s Why You May See More Corner Stores in the Future
Strong Towns, November 13, 2024

Personally, I think cities should start looking at good corner lots and rezoning them for "neighborhood commercial." Being 5 miles from a big box store is neither efficient or sustainable.

"Corner stores can anchor a neighborhood" Strong Towns Podcast Blurb: Upzoned || "Here’s Why You May See More Corner Stores in the Future" Post-COVID-19, there’s been a resurgence of interest in mixed-use neighborhoods, leading some cities to allow for small corner stores even in neighborhoods that are otherwise residential only. In this Upzoned episode, host Abby Newsham is joined by Norm Van Eeden Petersman, the director of membership and development for Strong Towns. They discuss the role that small corner stores play in local economies, the benefits of allowing residents to continue using and creating these kinds of businesses, and how to talk to your local government about allowing this kind of use in your own community.

The artificial Phoenix Lake in Dortmund Germany is a great example of urban redevelopment of industrial areas. The site was originally home to the Hermannshütte steelworks, established in 1841. In 2001 steel production ceased, the transformation into Phoenix Lake began in 2005, with the lake officially filled in 2010. Today it’s surrounded by parks and public spaces as well as residential and mixed use buildings.
