When you tell them you’ve paid no money in #car payments, #gas #insurance #tickets or #maintenance and ask them what it would mean if they received a check for all the money they spend on car related expenses something happens in their brain. Some begin to question things for the first time.

A well-known economist writes about how American cities grow and evolve and what impact #WFH will have on this dynamic. His bottom line: not much. As long as people have to come to the office, even if for a few days a week, the clustering of jobs will continue. But while WFH’s impact on cities may be slight, it could have big impacts on #suburbs, #neighborhoods, #transit and #downtowns. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/01/opinion/cities-zoom-return-to-office.html

Cities and #suburbs have been sniping at one another since, well, suburbs came into being. In Chicago, there’s a certain suburb that politicians like to name-check when they’re making fun of the hicks in the ‘burbs. But are the residents of Naperville hicks? And is life truly boring in DuPage County? A big-city writer visits, talks to the locals and reports back. https://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/why-let-naperville-bother-you/

She is most famous for her song, "Little Boxes," a satire on suburbia, inspired by the tacky sprawl of housing in Daly City, just outside of San Francisco. And used as the theme music for the TV series “Weeds.” As a teen, the city’s elite Lowell High School refused to give her a diploma because her parents opposed US participation in World War I.

The US Is Ugly. THIS is Why. - Leeja Miller
From the description:
"The US is UGLY. How did this happen? How did we get this suburban sprawl that we all have to live with today? And what can we do to improve our communities? Turns out it's lots of money, PR, and, you guessed it, racism."

Who would have guessed this? The furious right-wingers disrupting school board meetings across the US are almost exclusively white suburbanites. All that (faux) rage out there that the media wants us to believe is due to econoomic dispossession among struggling working-class citizens….
It's hard to get more privileged than living white in a suburb, isn't it?

It lifted *primarily* white boats and, hand-in-hand with #VA loans, helped create the #segregration of the #suburbs which persist today, in less obvious ways.
You're #whitewashing #history to paint the #US as better than it ever has been, so far.

45 followers · 904 posts · Server mas.townPerhaps the most important demographic trend of the past 40 years has been the growing diversity of American #neighborhoods and #suburbs. Three forces are at work here. One is the increasing diversity of America, a result of immigration. Another is the movement to suburbs of African-American, Hispanic and Asian-American families. The final force is gentrification, which involves the return of white families to cities. Collectively, these are momentous changes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/11/04/mixed-race-neighborhoods/

#Brunswick #Australia is home to this lovely creation, painted by #Juzpop and #saladbowlart.
The colours and shading bring out the beauty of the subject perfectly in this candid scene.
And I adore the #flora and #butterflies, which are signature specialities that Juz portrays so well.
This is gorgeous 🙌💖
