Hi everyone, Paradox/Colossal Order put me on the youtube so you can now all see what I look like. I'm not actually 60 years old or a SEPTA token as it turns out...

ask me about

• my series, Franklin

• my other series, Power Politics and Planning

• my assets, about half of which are broken

• urban planning/architecture/policy

• how Matias from Paradox wound up on BBC International when he came around to film the episode

• philadelphia

• unions

• trains

• socialism/anarchism/leftism

• my allergies, which are currently semi-debilitating

• or whatever!

do not ask me about

• workers & resources: soviet republic

uh

1. some transport fever

2. uh.. good question. i mean i'm a lot better at the urbanism than the leftism lol. might need to grab some outside consultants for that

3. my favorite guy on the breadtube right now is ray ramses, who's doing really great vids on climate change and neoliberalism and stuff https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6DbLEHgTj6VK7LvtzoGSIw

tbh the best answer to the second question is "how are we supposed to know?". There are past experiences like the Paris Commune or CNT-FAI Catalonia during the Spanish civil war, but those have been all too short as well as kinda long ago.

We can speculate on how a post-capitalist city might look like and propose ways which it might be but at the end that's speculative fiction more than what it'll actually look like; there might even be trees on buildings!
