Monday, July 21, 2014. Silicon Valley's gentrification export. Airbnb, the DIY hotel service that was born in the crucible of the Bay Area's dystopan income divides and astronomical rents, is now spreading its way across the nation. Middle-class households now have the privilege to literally rent out their own beds in order to clear escalating rents in the nation's more fashionable/expensive vacation destinations. Meanwhile, in Next City. Such a policy could, in theory, let struggling renters continue to...

The Vigorous North: December 2013
http://www.vigorousnorth.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. I took a walk this weekend out to Westbrook, the city adjoining Portland to our west. Westbrook's Main Street is less than five miles from downtown Portland, but these are small cities and along the borderlands between them there's a still mostly empty landscape of meadows and depopulated infrastructures. And speaking of abandoned infrastructures: on the other side of the marsh I bushwhacked northwards through the woods for a while and found the city's "technology park" (previ...

The Vigorous North: February 2015
http://www.vigorousnorth.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2015. The aesthetics of clean energy. My old employer, Maine Audubon, is a fairly conservative and patrician organization. It's not a strong leader on climate issues: its conservation programs are a lot more preoccupied with piping plovers (cute birds that just happen to live on the same beaches as the organization's plutocrat "major donors") than with ending Maine's self-destructive addiction to fossil fuels. But for those of us who will live with the consequences of that catastrop...
