I recently came across the Danish idea of Janteloven, or the Law of Jante, again.

There is a difference between a place where people spend money and a place where people spend time.

There are public spaces that look beautiful in architectural renderings and somehow feel completely dead after they’re built.

This is going to start in a strange place, but stick with me.

A neglected building rarely harms only the person who owns it.

I can usually tell pretty quickly when a service business is wasting money on social media, and it almost always starts the same way.

There’s a dangerous illusion that homeowners, business owners, and even entire cities fall into.

Most municipal systems treat payment confirmations like cold accounting records.

I was in a room full of residents recently, talking about local business development.

Spend five minutes in a local Facebook group and you will encounter a familiar chorus: “The roads are awful.”
