@TomNissley aka @PhinneyBooks, has always been about lists (ask him about the top LPs of 1970). I like his most recent list of poetry best sellers! @CathexisNWPress @FLPress
City Council is queuing up impact fees on development, aka, housing. How about considering the impact of housing scarcity and putting a fee on non-development, aka, the 75% of Seattle where development (apt buildings) are banned. That's what I argue here: publicola.com/2023/10/18/may…

My PubliCola column this week is about NYC's exciting Congestion Pricing . Or specifically: How Seattle should go bolder than the Manhattan model. A better program—let’s call it Sustainability Pricing—would revamp congestion pricing in a few key ways... publicola.com/2023/07/10/its…

Poetry NW has a Q&A w/ me. Hard not to sound loopy about poetry. Enjoy the loopiness: "Poetry gives you room to explore weird juxtapositions. You’re talking about TOD and you’re talking about Athena. She rides a chariot and we’re riding a bullet train." poetrynw.org/interview-the-p…

Here are 2 pull-quotes from my column: "You can’t put hyper-dense transit hubs flush up against low-density neighborhoods and expect it to generate sustainability in isolation." "Unfortunately, Liias’ exciting legislation may end up sabotaging an adjacent pro-housing bill."

Getting some love from the publisher: They made my new book, The Night of Electric Bikes, their chapbook of the day. I hope you'll consider pre-ordering it. Pre-orders impress the algorithm, which is good news for a book of city planning poetry. @flpbooks instagram.com/p/CnnDhtXP5t6/…

How about this question:Where do you want Little Kabul to be located? Can it be built in Seattle's walled off Single Family Zones, which make up ~75% of the city.
