I had no idea where this week’s blog was going. I had the memory of an urban design project from 2002, instigated by an email message from a neighbor with a link about current social injustice in Northern Virginia.
It’s very possible I didn’t need too much urging, but what changed was reading the link my neighbor sent to the entire community, thinking ‘yes,’ then ‘oh, wait; let me read this more carefully.’
So the Medium post is about intention and result—the road to hell, and like cautions.
Never ask an Irishman an opinion unless you have the time to hear him out.
