Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Michelle Malkin needs to update her book

While traveling I mislaid my ethernet cable (the wifi card doesn't work well in my computer so I need to plug it into the router), so now that I am back home I went up the street to the thrift store to buy a cheap replacement.

Then I wandered over to the book section.

I saw this book and laughed at the title, given the scalar difference between the Obama Administration and the Trump Administration in terms of "lawlessness," corruption, and respect for due process and the rule of law.

Just like now that a Republican is in the White House so federal debt is no longer an issue -- so long as it is used to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations ("Republicans shrug at deficit," Washington Post) -- the same seems to be true of corruption.


See:

-- "Trump's Corruption: The Definitive List," New York Times
-- "Trump's corruption is getting worse. He has a hidden enabler," Washington Post
-- "Corruption Is the Tie that Binds for Trump-Era Republicans," The New Republic
-- "Welcome to the Post-Post-Corruption Era of the GOP," New York Magazine
-- "Morning Joe: Trump Administration Most Corrupt Since Harding"
