I think what's disconcerting about the whiteness of livable/funky areas like Portland is what it says about progressive white people's willingness, collectively, to take the fast route toward livability - and leave behind their POC (not just black) brothers and sisters in the process.

It's A) not true at all that you won't hear hideous slurs of all kinds on a daily basis and B) Seattle still has major problems with institutionalized racism. The recent school closures and the problems with police brutality are just two glaring examples. There are infinitely more subtle and ...

Matt & Jegusa - thanks I like your logic, the way you think, and your commitment to looking uncovering the frames of the debate. Knute this is a fascinating article. I would love to hear more about the history of utopias in this region. The premise of this article is ...

great article: Thank you! I totally agree that we need to welcome more sidewalk activity. I think when the term "walkability" is invoked against cafe culture, it is being totally misused. Dense, thriving, cafe culture makes neighborhoods more walkable by increasing the sense of safety later into the night as ...
