Lewyn Addresses America

A little politics, a little urbanism- I also blog 100 percent on urbanism at https://www.planetizen.com/user/63 and http://www.cnu.org/blog/194

Market Urbanism Report was created by Scott Beyer; it is the ancestor of marketurbanist.com. I am not sure why I stopped blogging for it- maybe two group blogs (Market Urbanism and Planetizen) are enough for me. At any rate, attached are some posts I wrote for it.
