GREAT find Chris! At least we have hope that those people to the south (and north) of us have someone in power who gets it!
There are two copies available at the Windsor Public Library of; The Death and Life of Great American Cities plus other works by Jane Jacobs. I also saw copies for sale at Chapters at wherelese thee mall.
Also must reads by Jane Jacobs are and available at the Library;
The Nature of Economies and Cities and the Wealth of Nations
Chris was probably asleep when the above popped into his mail box! Just a hunch.
Yup - sawing logs! That was our never-sleeping-always-reading UrbanRat who set me that link. What would we do without the Rat?
I wonder how long it’ll take the Obama-Biden administration to realize that Jacobs was a draft dodger and completey write off what she wrote about as red-propaganda, though.
