I suppose until this article, I didn’t truly get what “City of Yes” meant. Now I do. We want (need, actually) our cities to start saying “Yes” to people. We need inclusive zoning, not exclusive zoning.
I see cities as human supercomputers, cauldrons of innovation and progress. We need to allow our cities to grow, to maximize their computational potential and beneficial outputs.
Thank you, JK! It took more than a year of writing to come full circle and explicitly connect "City of Yes" to the "culture of no." I'm not sure I fully appreciated, when I named this blog, that to fully embrace one is to reject the other.

I know I'm just your Mom, but I am so proud of you! Actually, you should be so proud of yourself!!! Xo
Thanks, Mom! ❤️
