A batch of the best highlights from what Izzy's read, .
Residents who have chosen to live in older buildings in older neighborhoods depend on the public parking supply and do not want to share it. In these places, parking requirements for new buildings function as a protection racket, forcing new neighbors to pay for what old neighbors get for free on the street.
Paved Paradise
Henry Grabar
Our landscapes are changing in a cruel and ironic way: they’re becoming less permeable to wildlife at the precise moment animals need to move most. As our climate warms, beings large and small will be forced to relocate, either north or upslope, to remain within their “thermal envelope,” the band of temperatures in which they evolved.
My people were right, and I was wrong, in this: We cannot come to you. You will not let us. You do not believe in change, in chance, in evolution. You would destroy us rather than admit our reality, rather than admit that there is hope! We cannot come to you. We can only wait for you to come to us.”
