Key message for the a mayor—don’t delude yourself into thinking the city can solve its problems on its own. You need partners at state and federal level and regional collaboration among neighboring jurisdictions if any new progress will take root and grow.

Identify abandoned areas w/location advantage, rezone for walkable commercial, build affordable spaces (w/decent outdoor dining space)& offer spaces for pop-up businesses w/small start-up grants. If some pop-ups stay, convey the property to the local community as a land trust.

Yes, so long as we give local government sufficient resources to do its job—this is why austerity is so dangerous, as the city loses population, it’s tax base follows, and then local government is starved for resources—a death spiral.

While we consider responding to this crisis, we cannot let “urgency” trump equity and fairness again: the 1930s Homeowner Loan Corp and FHA were the original sins responsible for disproportionate mortality rates for African Americans 90 years later. @landpolicy

I’m betting that Ann and Rob will offer fine tributes to John Prine this weekend. If you haven’t listened to Essential Music and Acoustic Cafe on WDET-FM, you should. They always surprise and delight. @RobReinhart @anndelisimusic

..through many difficulties with humor and grace. I’ll miss his wry wit and his honest assessment of things in general. Farewell, John, and I’ll remember that “a heart filled with anger grows weak and grows bitter,” although I’ll maintain my own chain of sorrow at your passing.

He wasn’t just a bard for the ages, he was the social consciousness of a generation. A veteran who spoke out against the Vietnam war, an early environmentalist, someone attuned to the contradictions of modern life. I was introduced to John Prine in 1975 and he sustained me...

For many, a new year, is a time to take stock and set goals for the future. But what happens when an entire planet tries to make a common pledge? In a new podcast episode, President and CEO @GMacMcCarthy parses out what makes a global pact successful bit.ly/2GRjVNy
