Hey, I really like this site, you two. Nice work.
Thanks, Michael. And we like yours….:)
Just wanted you to know I stumbled across your site a few months ago, and have been reading avidly and greatly enjoying your thoughtful, cogent posts on urban design and Portland’s failures and successes thereof. I moved from NYC to portland in 1995 and have seen the city change so much — often for the better, sometimes not so much. Your recent post about public transit (and how much more frequent it needs to be to be really truly usable) really struck me as so right on. i hope some policy-makers and people in power come across your writings and take them to heart.

What a nice thing to say! Thanks for reading!
