For the fourth year in a row, Mayor Eric Adams’s appointees on the NYC Rent Guidelines Board have stuck tenants with a rent increase they can’t afford – even as landlord profits have soared. My full statement on the Rent Guidelines Board vote 👇 comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/state…

The physical design of the new Empire Bins—the latest NYC waste containerization pilot—is mostly off the shelf, but the experience around them is city specific. For Fast Company, I took a deep dive into what it means for the future of trash collection. fastcompany.com/91361709/new-y…

Lots of great detail for urban design aficionados in this piece – Diana and I didn't really get into it at 5am, but a lot of this (like much of the Trash Revolution more broadly) is straight out of the work of Oscar Newman, just applied to cleanliness rather than crime.

this mutual-aid kitchen & community garden in the south bronx has hammocks for rest, a wood-fired hearth for meals, and medicinal plants for healing. such as treat to cover the design and people who made it (cc: La Morada Restaurant Zarith Pineda) for dwell dwell.com/article/hearth…

New The New York Times piece on the rise of public domain paintings being used on book covers—I wrote about the same thing (and its implications for the creative industry) back in February for my It's Nice That column on treating the past like a stock library 🖼️ itsnicethat.com/articles/eliza…

Companies will stop at absolutely nothing to squeeze more money from people. All the big talk about the revolutionary ways AI would make life better and it’s just come down to attacking labor and exploiting people every way possible fortune.com/2025/07/16/del…

as an avid swimmer and figure skater (the pool turns into an ice skating rink in the winter) plus a natural landscaping fan, this is my absolute favorite public project

Two destructive crashes happened at the same intersection of Canal St. and the Bowery less than 24 hours apart over the weekend. One of them killed a pedestrian sitting on a bench, and a cyclist. Does anyone at City Hall care? nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/21/mon…

There was once a ghost bike at this exact location. But it kept being destroyed by cars. We replaced it more times than any other ghost bike in the city before giving up. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cyc…
