KunstlerCast #6: Zoning
The Tragic Tale of Zoning Codes
Ya seen one town in America ya seen ‘em all. But that’s because they’re all mandated to look that way! James Howard Kunstler tells the tragic story of zoning codes in the United States. At one time, zoning was a rational response to unpleasant conditions of the newly emerging industrial city. But the fanatical level to which zoning became worshiped by public officials has reduced urban planning from an art form to the mere administration of curb cuts, signage and statistical analysis of traffic flow.

Urban Design Podcast
LEED ND pilot project
The LEED program has been well known for past few years. Although the LEED certification system has been active for a many years, there wasn’t a LEED certification for urban planning until a new certification program for urban design, called LEED ND. There have been several LEED ND pilot projects initiated around the world. One of them is a Mueller project in Austin, TX. Dan Cohen worked on the Mueller project while serving as a Director of Planning at Catellus.

Transportation Demand Management
Over the years, many car sharing programs have been initiated around the world. One of these programs started in Boulder, Colorado in 1997. A group of Boulder citizens were very concerned about minimizing their environmental impact and strived to leave a sustainable legacy for future generations. They took the issue of transportation to heart and made a commitment to minimize their automobile use. In 1997, the “Little Red Car Co-op” was formed. The momentum continued forward, and in 1998, Boulder CarShare was founded and incorporated as a Colorado non-profit.

Succession Planning
Succession Planning, as important it is, is often overlooked by owners of small firms. Wayne Cascio described this phenomenon as a fear of starting to plan for a successor like planning your own funeral. At same time, in managing a small business, we should understand the importance of succession planning, and its effect on the organization.

Rem Koolhass, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman and others are deliberately designing these disastrous, anxiety-inducing mothership UFOs in order to mystify people into thinking they’re supernaturally brilliant. And then we’re stuck with these Gillette Blue Blade-clad fun houses for decades.

iTunes Weekly Rewind
This week, we’re listening in on some of the best music of 2010, as chosen by iTunes staff members.

If April is the cruelest month, perhaps December is the most contentious, as the annual ritual of compiling “Best Of” lists generates a frenzy of critical opinion and enough heated discussion to light up a forest of transplanted fir trees. We hope you enjoyed our reasons for highlighting the work of the Black Keys, Eminem, Lady Antebellum and Bruno Mars, among other 2010 standouts, but we feel a little guilty for not devoting more podcast minutes to briefly mentioned breakthrough act, Best Coast. Here’s why we think they’re here to stay.

Fronted by Bethany Cosentino, with staunch support from Bobb Bruno and recently inducted drummer Ali Koehler, Best Coast has cracked a winning noise-pop formula by striking a near-perfect balance of familiar elements — cruise through debut album Crazy for You, on which most songs clock in around the two-and-a-half minute mark, and you’ll find “echoes” (and we choose the word with care, given the reverberating sonic feel of the release) of punk era wizards the Ramones and the Buzzcocks, a plethora of surf and garage rockers old and new, modern West Coast wonder-girl Jenny Lewis (who shares with Cosentino a pre-pubescent brush with L.A. showbiz), and those ’60s girl groups distinguished by collaboration with Phil Spector. Wherever distortion appears on the album, it’s an unforced accent, not a mechanical assault, and you quickly find yourself wanting to sink deeper into the band’s comforting layers of pop-fuzz.

While Cosentino indulges a lyrical obsession with romance, indolence and cats, there’s far more going on here than first meets the ear. Check out “When I’m With You” and you’ll hear an artist who hits an honest emotional note without spilling her guts all over the place: the way she slowly and sweetly drawls “I hate sleeping alone” will follow you from shower to sidewalk — in fact, every track here nails the old grey whistle test, pop’s most fundamental measuring stick. The charm of the album’s title track emerges from the way she’s so upbeat about all the things that drive her mad about her other half. If you’d like a sense of where this hugely promising outfit is heading, cue up “Our Deal” which follows a thread of emotional complexity without ever deserting the band’s simple songwriting principles. Watch this space.
