#cities

It’s only Thursday afternoon but for the fifth or sixth or seventh time this week I’m sitting in the little urban patio that the city of Vancouver recently set out at the junction of Kitchener and Commercial.

For Christmas and New Years, I went to Japan with my wife Z, my mom, my older sister, her boyfriend, and my younger sister.

One of our intentions for visiting NYC was to test our interest in moving there.

During the week that Z & I were there, we saw friends, shopped, attended comedy & jazz shows, visited museums, drank lots of coffee, ate lots of pizza, walked, biked, rode the subway, took the ferry, and wondered where in the city we might want to live.

As I walk through cities nowadays I try to look through a Jane Jacobian lens at the diversity of enterprise and use about.
