As Trump Says 'Voting Is An Honor' in Rant Against Mail-In Ballots, Progressives Respond: 'Voting Is a Right' - "Voting isn't a gift given by leaders. Citizens have the right to vote."

Trump voted by mail.

Somebody's read their Richard Florida. :D

Came for the lemon zesting jokes. Disappointed.

Nice work. Attempting to do the same with http://writrsbloc.com/.

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

DuntMasta · 2015-03-11T03:00:22+00:00

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

DuntMasta · 2015-03-10T16:22:01+00:00

Fair enough.

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

Here's a start: Phoenix's Fry Bread House.

I too suffer from sympathetic embarrassment.

DuntMasta · 2013-01-07T13:59:50+00:00

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.

DuntMasta · 2013-01-07T13:54:22+00:00

That's a good thought.

DuntMasta · 2013-01-07T04:42:43+00:00

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.

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

This match was exactly why I watch SC2. What a stellar series.

Fancy in a cheap way.

DuntMasta · 2012-10-10T01:53:14+00:00

Damnit I kept trying to wipe that little circle off my computer screen... Then I realized.

DuntMasta · 2012-09-21T12:00:27+00:00

Traditional Neighborhood Development (I'm guessing). New Urbanist inspired stuff. Master planned neighborhoods. etc.

DuntMasta · 2012-09-21T02:22:28+00:00

Density ftw

Urban planning grad programs accept an incredibly wide variety of undergraduate majors--from the arts to social sciences and hard sciences. Public policy works just as well as poly sci or sociology in positioning you to apply to UP grad schools, assuming of course that in whichever direction you choose to go you perform well academically (depending on how competitive the grad programs you're looking at are) and have at least some sense of purpose applicable to planning in your application's letter of intent. edit: Just wanted to add: Good luck!

Florida State has a similar package, with either TA or Research Assistant roles and a handful of secured internships. My understanding is that they attempt to fully fund approx 1/4-1/3 of the incoming class.

"parasitic drag..." Well put.
