Larry:
Good to have you back. I did not pay attention and did not realize how far north you were going. 200 miles west of Ft Simpson is just a few miles from the end of the earth. I suspect the forest fires have not gotten up there yet.
While you were gone Groveton asked a question about retrofitting Great Falls to be a functional Village. We are working on a column on that topic that will address the questions your about “traditional village development” on greenfield sites.
Groveton:
You may have seen this but today’s WaPo on B2 there is a “Virginia Briefing” item “Group of Independents to Make Endorsements” by Sandhya Somashekhr.
Also see note on your Great Falls question above.
Mr. Leahy:
Glad to see your “Castles in the Sand” column on settlement pattern issues. Keep up the good work.
