]]> Comment on Homeless in the City by AJ http://www.cosmopolitanurbanist.com/2010/04/20/homeless-in-the-city/comment-page-1/#comment-120 AJ Thu, 27 May 2010 23:56:33 +0000 http://www.cosmopolitanurbanist.com/?p=100#comment-120 A friend of mine used to work at the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children in Midtown... it's not directly on a MARTA line, but the #12 bus from the Midtown station goes down 10th Street, really nearby. There's also a couple of busses that go up Hemphill and Northside Drive, I'm pretty sure. It's not in the most accessible location (unfortunately), but it's definitely a good resource for homeless women in the city. Hope this helps your friend out!

]]> Comment on Redwood City Events: Downtown Done Right by Leslie http://www.cosmopolitanurbanist.com/2009/06/26/redwood-city-events-downtown-done-right/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Leslie Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:35:49 +0000 http://www.cosmopolitanurbanist.com/?p=43#comment-13 I grew up in Redwood City (actually a tad south of there if you're counting precise zip codes) and this is so refreshing and wonderful to read. I think the city has worked really hard to give people ways to connect as a community (farmer's market, library, concerts, movie theatre, locally run restaurants, etc.) and that can be so hard in suburbia. I actually live in Beijing now. In China, cities are growing so quickly and urban planners' footprints are everywhere. I sometimes find it sad to see how much Chinese yuppies want to emulate American suburbanites, with their cars and fast food and such. In some ways Beijing looks like a denser version of America, with highways and chain stores and malls. I stumbled across your blog pretty randomly, and I'd like to wish you the best of luck in your job search, wherever it may take you!

These subjects are far removed from the musings that find themselves on Life in the Middle Lane. I needed a forum to flex the muscles that I've gained in graduate school. I've alway been a design student in a practical sense. I love to make life better, and a good design always makes life better. Rebecca, I appreciate your support!

I had no idea you had all these amazing ideas on design/development/economics in you (although I totally should have!). I particularly liked this post about how design is important and your comparison to the 60s housing projects. It's extremely important to create environments that nurture and engage the community. Looking forward to future posts! Monica, I am loving your new blog just as much as your other one.
