That’s okay – neither does Ottawa. To be certain, the parking lot less than 1km from “downtown” is a blight, but is it a worse blight than what they’re proposing to build? Ottawa doesn’t need more tall buildings… it needs a vision. It needs a Haussmann to drive planning and cohesion. It needs to stop …
To the best of my knowledge, Ottawa doesn’t really have a red light district… but every intersection has a traffic light that seems to hate me. From my perspective, the entire city is a red light district. Occasionally, the light is right, too.
There’s nothing quite like the November sun. It’s low, it’s bright, and when you’re in the city it reflects all over the place in all sorts of unexpected ways. I had the good fortune to be able to play hooky from work for a few hours yesterday afternoon and take advantage of the unseasonably warm …

I am so privileged to be able to attend this year’s Out of Chicago summer conference, in, you guessed it, Chicago.
