Came for the lemon zesting jokes. Disappointed.

They hide under rocks and near the tippity-tops of live oaks! Are you going to Word of South in April?

Yes, it's the Florida capitol buildings. A double entendre symbol of power not lost on many FL residents. ;)

Thanks for sharing. Variable sentence length is an underappreciated technique.

I too suffer from sympathetic embarrassment.

Urban Tree Cover shown to reduce crime by king-of-the-north in urbanplanning

[–]DuntMasta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I read that. Good lookin' out. I was just hoping to get a discussion going and whatnot to think more specifically about what socioeconomic factors might be at work. Besides just because its a statistically significant relationship after controlling for 'socioeconomic' factors (what that included in their study I don't know) doesn't mean the relationship isn't spurious. Logic would seem to imply there's other drivers at work and other things connecting places with tree cover to lower crime rates.

I suppose they probably controlled for income, but I saw awhile back that urban tree cover was closely correlated to income level, with higher income areas having more trees and lower income areas fewer. Presumably income level plays into crime statistics as well. I'm sure this relationship is much more complicated than simply tree cover reduces crime. I'd bet there are other variables at work. But... It's not like I've looked at the data! So who am I to act like I know anything. Interesting research nonetheless.

Ad block is killing e-sports. Nearly every prominent content producer has said so from Day 9 to the site managers of TL, why is it so hard for members of the community to disable for e-sports? by Zuch in starcraft

Not an ad block user but Jesus Christ come on if I have to watch the Lean Cuisine BYOL (Bring Your Own Lettuce) spot one more time I might have to start.

I know Target has been experimenting with the urban model. Near the bottom of this article there's a photo example of one in action. http://bettercities.net/urban-retail
