For the second time in almost as many months, I’ve found a quirk in subdivision design, nestled deep within a metro that, for the last few decades, has been cranking out subdivisions the way Henry Ford was rolling out the Model T a century ago. But Las Vegas, which has doubled its population multiple times
It’s impossible to deny a sad truth for anyone who has used transit regularly in the last few years: the shameful act of turnstile jumping has reached epidemic levels in most cities where turnstiles serve as a primary means of fare collection. And this includes almost any American city with light- or heavy-rail transit. I
I’d imagine most Americans who possess a drivers license have had at least one sub-par experience in an enclosed parking garage. Maybe it didn’t amount to an actual accident, but no doubt a dinged bumper or some seriously close call. In my many years of driving, I’ve had exactly one fender-bender that was my fault,
Yes, this article is a filler; I fully confess. The demands of a November where I was out of the country for one-third, sick for another third, then in full Thanksgiving prep mode for the final third has made it hard for me to reach my quota. So I’m cramming this one at the end
Returning back to my home turf after some time away—combined with other academic obligations—has forced me to rush through some briefer-than-usual blog articles so that I can still meet my May quota. Having become too dependent on greater Washington DC for inspiration, it’s a refreshing change to cover content outside of Maryland and Virginia. Therefore,
An incredibly busy time of year forces me to crank out a few analysis-shy “throwaway” posts so that I can still meet my monthly quota. This time around, it’s a familiar subject as well: the cherry blossom season around the Tidal Basin in Washington DC. By this point in April, the blossoms are typically all
The term “stub street” rarely comes up in conversation, yet enough people have a mental image of what it entails that it would be almost patronizing to explain what it means. However, those cognitive apparitions vary so greatly that I’m going to go right ahead and patronize. After all, a consistent definition of a stub
I’m breaking all of my own rules these days. Averse as I am to including two analysis-free montages in a row, now I’m taking the violations a step further by featuring two consecutive articles that a) offer very timely content (likely to seem irrelevant in a few days) and b) carry heavily political undertones, though
My over 900 articles on this site have rarely gone viral in that they amass thousands of responses or get picked up by national media. I’m just not that big. (And I don’t try to be; after one unpleasant experience, I vowed never again to pay to boost visibility of blog posts via social media
I don’t want to belabor a point, which is why I rarely avoid two articles on the same subject in rapid succession. And besides, my May writeup on shopping cart security breaches didn’t generate a whole lot of buzz, perhaps because most readers are one step ahead: I was pointing out a feature that was
