Yeah, I assumed it was Kelo, just had to look up the date. I remember people of all political stripes bitching about Kelo.

I BELIEVE IN STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Sounds like "taken out context.html" to me. The point seems to be that when you're dealing with immigrant children, and some public schools have a lot of those, then many common analogies and attempts to create a connection that educators are taught in school are a bit too American-centric and might not be as effective as they'd like. Therefore, maybe a teacher in that situation should tone down the PBJ and apple pie and baseball analogies when they're dealing with a classroom of first generation Somali immigrants. It's just common-sense analysis of inter-cultural communication and the "HAY GUYZ! This lady said PBJ was RACIST!" angle on it is moronic.

The real tragedy of a lot of places in the US is that the small towns/walkable areas/natural wildlands still exist all over, they just tend to not be anywhere near the interstate system. It's so easy to drive along the major highways and see nothing but McDonalds from sea to shining sea.

Just got back from a 3 day vacation at Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio vacation and as someone who has to go on a long car drive from Pittsburgh to Omaha every Summer with the rest of my family I can attest that Ohio is the most boring/horrible state to drive through other than Iowa.

Lake Erie is the worst Great Lake as it's fish piss, pollution, and salt

My father grew up in Ashtabula and I have been to Geneva-on-the-Lake many times. The last time was about 10 years ago and it was indeed a horrible and depressing shithole I hope to never see again. I can't imagine it has gotten any better since then.

I actually enjoy GOTL since while it looks horribly depressing, it has a lot of good food places, the country's (alledgedly) oldest mini golf course, and a bunch of arcades where I can beat my brother at air hockey every time. The only time I'm miserable is when I get roped into going to wineries which bore me to tears

Basically GOTL is for the Pittsburghers who are too cool for the Outer Banks/Myrtle Beach/Atlantic City/Ocean City summer vacations.

Good thing the state government fixed some of the things there now though, there is now a really nice trail that goes from GOTL to the State Beach and a bunch of signs of the history of the region.

In retrospect, that talk is hilarious because everybody in the room is probably involved in the tech sector in someway, and was supposed to be one of the "new urbanists" who were going to bring about the glorious revolution. However once they started to interact with poor people and people of color, they decided maybe the suburbs had it right the whole time. So they built their headquarters out in the middle of nowhere where they could have a private walkable compound, and when they do build in cities they need to make sure they have sky bridges so their people won't actually have to interact with the people who live in the city. New urbanism will not happen in America until we have nothing but affluent white-only cities.
