It was basically the first time the public saw what the developer had been planning with the massive amounts of plots he had bought out in North City; the presentation was prefaced by a statement saying that there was no final plan. The slides were not very specific, and the audience grew frustrated as the developers and politicians told them over and over that there were no plans, just "concepts and opportunities."</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">McKee did not present a comprehensive plan of what will go where, and how much. Costs were shown, but in very general terms. The grave concerns of the residents, especially about the use of eminent domain and the poor upkeep of the existing McEagle properties in the area were not satisfactorily resolved. Most importantly, the atmosphere of the meeting was very tense (especially when the man cussed McKee early in the meeting and stormed out) because the residents felt as though he had facilitated the decay of their respective neighborhoods by allowing properties to deteriorate. No one took him seriously when he or his colleagues mentioned McEagle's maintenance practices.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">The plan seems too large of a scale and relies on the completion of all the components to be successful and worth all the losses incurred already. Someone in a discussion mentioned how WingHaven had to change plans mid-development and ended up something different from what the initial residents hoped for. Any valuable opportunities from this plan have been marred by the secretive and corrupt dealing of McEagle and their disrespect for the existing neighorhoods. The meeting was pretty well-attended (I think), but the take away from it for me was the question of if someone that didn't show you respect to you deserve your respect?</span>Hitomi Inouehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072720824339276808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041769886270540509.post-87364907374522089802009-05-13T15:29:00.004-05:002009-05-13T15:45:19.891-05:00Teach me things, wise people<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.davidworr.com/images/earth_mind.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 336px;" src="http://www.davidworr.com/images/earth_mind.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://samfoxschool.wustl.edu/files/imagecache/portfolio_page/portfolio/MaigretJ_7.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 335px;" src="http://samfoxschool.wustl.edu/files/imagecache/portfolio_page/portfolio/MaigretJ_7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">WashU architecture school is hosting many a cool things right towards the end of the school year to cram in brownie points.

The grey part is the artist's studio. The boxes on the roof are greenhouses and the red part is the actual grocery store. The original building was built in the early 1900s. There was an addition made (the artist studio) in the 70s. At this point, much of the building was clad in ugly brick. Since the artists studios are distinctly different from the original building (where the grocery and incubator will be housed), we didn't feel right keeping the ugly brick veneer. Instead, we're proposing taking the brick off and exposing the concrete masonry unit construction.</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14ex8vOzWzRyBYb9HCY7b9Y1S3MA7IpssGK18-6cf9yq0uT1Wnzuwpb7xtgL4T-MYuFS2k19sYrhS8pq96e4Ic9Sp79PWYcgIl7_XPs5z5PzldTPtTpBK7IMiGgLjIqJJKmIFw8J34wI/s1600-h/north+elevation+tomi.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh14ex8vOzWzRyBYb9HCY7b9Y1S3MA7IpssGK18-6cf9yq0uT1Wnzuwpb7xtgL4T-MYuFS2k19sYrhS8pq96e4Ic9Sp79PWYcgIl7_XPs5z5PzldTPtTpBK7IMiGgLjIqJJKmIFw8J34wI/s320/north+elevation+tomi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276519860180936306" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">This is a drawing Hitomi made of the same elevation that takes DJ's ideas further. Here, the blank, windowless walls are cut into to 1) allow light into the space, 2) help with ventilation, and 3) break up the facade, giving it a more human, less monolithic scale. Hitomi proposed the idea of cutting these notches into the wall (the lower half of the drawing) to do just that.

It's very informative in the history of the specific area and the program the author focused on (Westside Las Vegas), but the meat of it is the personal growth of the women leading the change in the impoverished community. It made me feel better about a lot of things because it documents people that don't have specific training or education in terms of getting political, financial, and social support for starting community-based antipoverty programs. Similar things are going on in St. Louis, with Urban Studio and a lot of other new things that I come in contact being initiated by motivated people that manage around different obstacles in getting to their goal.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It relates to the idea that companies and firms are beginning to be less homogeneous, that engineers, social workers, architects, businessmen, and whoever else would be working on a same project to bring their expertise into the same goal. I find that really really exciting, but as of now, a lot of grassroots movements lack the variety of resources, so individuals end up doing multiple of those tasks by themselves.

It was a really close margin (52% for no, 48% for yes with the difference being under 20,000 votes), and I can see glimpses of hope in that. The only thing we Metro supporters can do is to try to come up with better ways to fund and support it in the near future.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Things I noticed from the comments on the Post-Dispatch article online were that people were unaware that the city had already passed a similar tax measure in support of Metro years ago, the leaders that misused funds in the past have been replaced, and that revenue from fares do not run the Metro or any public transportation system anywhere. It's a failure on our part to properly educate the public, but Metro also could not advocate for themselves at their stations. I think it makes a huge difference if people truly understand the issues and consequences at play, which is very difficult to do from a short proposition on a ballot. It's frustrating that hope was such a large part of this election, and many propositions (M, 8 in California, etc.) failed due to voter's unwillingness to give these issues a chance for whatever reason.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Thanks for voting.

This issue seems entirely dire to me; if it fails, I know St. Louis itself will not be able to recover. The idea that punishing poor management by removing funding is preposterous. If the Metro system doesn't get enough funding, they will be forced to cut services, thus decreasing reliability for the riders, and in the end (which won't be so far away if it is to come) the entire system will have to shut down due to lack of ridership. Of course I want the Metro to be managed better so that it can run more trains, buses, and Call-a-Rides more frequently and more cheaply, but the current situation trumps this concern. Prop M is not a heart-attack prevention plan; it's a defibrillation, and it's the last try.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Public transit has allowed St. Louis businesses to hire more employees who had no way to commute to their jobs before it existed. Public transit made St. Louis more conscious about the effects of traffic on both people and the environment. Public transit funneled tons of Cardinals fans together into the Stadium station every summer. It lets me go places that makes me feel like I live in a city that's worth saving. Unfortunately I cannot vote (in the U.S.), so I'm hoping that the joy I feel of riding public transportation has reached enough people in time for tomorrow.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Please please vote,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">love,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Hitomi</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">p.s.

I guess, if I changed the way that I budget my money, I could be privileged enough to own an automobile. But some because of finances, and some because of personal responsibility, I choose not to own a car, and to avoid driving as much as possible. For me, this is a choice. But for so many others in our community, there is no choice. Public transit is their link to the rest of the community. This isn't just the disabled and the poor. What about the elderly? Youth? Others who have made a choice to live a life without personal transit?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Public transit is not just about being able to get to the baseball game or to the Landing for a night out. It's about getting people to jobs when there aren't any near home, and to the doctor when there isn't an adequate clinic nearby. It's about going to work in a way that doesn't damage the environment. It's about interacting with your neighbors!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">We need public transit. Even if you don't ride it, we still need it. Proposal M will raise $80 million annually for Metro, which will prevent service reductions, fare increases and employment cuts and allow for expansions of MetroLink and potentially the development of Rapid Bus Transit for the St. Louis region. Metro provides an invaluable service to our community, and we must support it. A YES vote for Prop M is a YES vote for St. Louis.</span><br /><br /><br /><object style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DaopPjgnMz4&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DaopPjgnMz4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">-Miz Metrolink</span>Antonio Pachecohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01025680533490594366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041769886270540509.post-16123391115055457072008-10-19T18:55:00.009-05:002008-10-21T16:45:51.751-05:00Hope or Hype<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQI58ew6IhYJV_21YRRQ-Hi0gOZrZPmOrQ6UuYLca66m23RwvhiK7IHSySb0-SDbdnNojfzPUedPcj3DmekEGdsm-EBk7GUcQPPOwt2-LFmuAsAykS_6O-q6Cd2kre_96BdR2zWzgt1I/s1600-h/101_1059.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQI58ew6IhYJV_21YRRQ-Hi0gOZrZPmOrQ6UuYLca66m23RwvhiK7IHSySb0-SDbdnNojfzPUedPcj3DmekEGdsm-EBk7GUcQPPOwt2-LFmuAsAykS_6O-q6Cd2kre_96BdR2zWzgt1I/s320/101_1059.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259022372313561458" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">The leaves in St. Louis are just starting to turn. It's almost as if they know it; the chilly winds of change are blowing. The sort of symbolism I see in these leaves makes me hopeful, but they foreshadow the unknown, something new and different. And I think we all know this. Or at least, we hope that a few speckled and crunchy leaves actually signal the coming of autumn and not some fluke coldspell followed by another six weeks of summer.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Saturday morning marked the third time I had seen Barack Obama</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhciFCUb6X1K4m6AvdxK7WFPlMU0OqsMte79_6bULOSFo-g99_zbLcsguFdsFcE3i2YOBfDcatA0CXNxqrI26n81ozk8kaTI2gKYm7ccflNCnRVR-Tff3UZgvkCsku8m5ZyMfdTVdDTsj0/s1600-h/101_1074.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhciFCUb6X1K4m6AvdxK7WFPlMU0OqsMte79_6bULOSFo-g99_zbLcsguFdsFcE3i2YOBfDcatA0CXNxqrI26n81ozk8kaTI2gKYm7ccflNCnRVR-Tff3UZgvkCsku8m5ZyMfdTVdDTsj0/s320/101_1074.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259022504159297858" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"> speak and although his speech was pretty standard, this appearance was of such monumental proportions that it meant so much more than usual. The settings for the speech were epic in both magnitude and proportion; excitement and anticipation ran high, you could feel it in the air. I had never really seen so many hopeful and positive faces on a chilly saturday morning. These faces were framed by the stout towers of downtown St. Louis on one side and the Arch and Mississippi River on the other. And in many ways, this speech was the sort of speech I have always been dying to see: a major figure, speaking within a monumental architectural setting, to a vast crowd of adoring fans. It's the stuff of movies and history, the sort of stuff you only hear about, but never witness. But saturday, I witnessed this vast specticle of a political event and was left quite impressed by the sheer humanity of it all. On that beautiful St. Louis day, 100,000 people came out to listen to a person share their vision for the future. And they did so hoping and praying that his vision would indeed come true, with the awareness that his ability to fulfill that vision was in their hands.</span><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcP-H16HqCrGzOFshLmGbYnaZRNeXDy_f3nRvYwQaaWHYTVFX05-xwY1a1ze1K36h23NIyxJfDDFR-rxzBWGlqZSridxgQRXQ_cqAg1m-S-kNYMZGsLvVOx_a1JtHxZFDegx6niiZ0NoI/s1600-h/101_1086.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcP-H16HqCrGzOFshLmGbYnaZRNeXDy_f3nRvYwQaaWHYTVFX05-xwY1a1ze1K36h23NIyxJfDDFR-rxzBWGlqZSridxgQRXQ_cqAg1m-S-kNYMZGsLvVOx_a1JtHxZFDegx6niiZ0NoI/s320/101_1086.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259022570983345554" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">But I feel a certain sense of </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-mood19-2008oct19,0,6882411.story?page=2">anxiety</a><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"> over the whole situation.

It talks about how certain groups of people were more prone to dying in a heat wave because of lack of social attachments and other factors that can't really be expressed in numbers all that well.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">One of the first factors the book discusses is the increase in single (divorced, widowed, never married, etc.) elderly individuals that live by themselves in cities. It's a developed country trend in recent years; I saw a television program about how a ungodly percentage of Japanese households will become single persons older than 70 within a few years, not to mention Italy's crisis over its upside down age pyramid. The book talks about how a lot of elderly folks don't have children or resources that can take care of them daily, have health issues already that prevent them from traveling outside the home, and fears the urban environment due to crime presented in mass media that might be the only source of information about the outside.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">The book goes on to talk about cultural communities that managed to keep each other alive, among other things, but I haven't read those parts yet. The descriptions in the book is sorta terrifying, because it makes me feel like there are a whole bunch of people living by themselves that don't talk face-to-face with a person for weeks at a time, can't grocery shop on their own, and feels content in that type of situation. I'm not going to pretend I understand everyone's feelings or rationale for doing what they do (because I don't), but it feels like modern isolation in its most extreme.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">My friend Natty does this program at WashU called S.A.G.E. where they visit senior citizens around the city once a week (I think the program changed a bit this year, so they're doing more tasks for individual old people, not so much fun activities for a group). I think the elderly peeps really enjoy the visits; if you've ever visited your grandma or grandpa, I think you would understand.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Two of my favorite people in the world are my grandma, who makes me yummies and cat pouches, and my grandpa, who can talk with me about architecture and politics and sumo (he's 80 this year). It's ridiculous how much wisdom and knowledge and sheer experience old people have. It's not just the scariness of lonely seniors, but the loss to the rest of society where older people lose touch with their community and young people can't benefit from their wisdom. I'm not sure how, but family ties and programs like S.A.G.E. that connects young with old seem like a very good idea in terms of fostering healthy community life and passing on priceless experience.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">hug your grandma</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">(also Antonio is an old person, according to the cartoon above from </span><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" href="http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/">here</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">)</span>Hitomi Inouehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072720824339276808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041769886270540509.post-78336902587719479182008-10-02T13:22:00.002-05:002008-10-02T13:37:57.086-05:00We're not good Christian people<span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">We three were walking down the street yesterday morning, and this small lady just comes up to us and asks for a group hug. It was really sudden, so Antonio and I just went for it, and DJ patted her on the back. Then she offered to sell us a freaky movie on a DVD. She just needed money for food.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It's difficult a lot of times how people begging need to be creative to get people to give them money. I tend to just give money away because 1) I don't need the money I have in my wallet at that moment and 2) if you have the guts to go up to a stranger and ask for money (AND offer a freaky movie in return), then you're pretty bomb in my book. Those are probably terrible reasons for me giving money to people, but it's also hard for me to understand how my voting or working for certain organizations can help the same people in a direct way. It seems like bureaucracy gets in the way of resources that people need from getting to them. There are certain places and organizations (<a href="http://www.centenarystl.org/index2/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=5&Itemid=7">Centenary</a> that <a href="http://sugroups.wustl.edu/%7Efeedstl/">FeedSTL</a> works with, <a href="http://www.whatsupstl.com/">What's Up magazine</a>, <a href="http://www.stpatrickcenter.org/default.aspx">St. Patrick Center</a>/<a href="http://www.stpatrickcenter.org/McMurphysGrill.aspx">McMurphy's Grill</a>) that affect homeless or needy people in a direct and constructive way, but waiting for policy change is so frustrating and seems indirect.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It might be that I'm impatient (even if I'm officially the patient one) and rather hand someone money than not, saying handing out things doesn't help the poor, and policy changes will be able to deal with the poverty problem in a better and more efficient way.</span>Hitomi Inouehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072720824339276808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041769886270540509.post-86043157027111375872008-09-25T21:24:00.005-05:002008-09-25T21:47:45.394-05:00Values not Incomes<span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Richard Baron of <a href="http://www.mccormackbaron.com/HTML/">McCormack Baron Salazar</a> spoke at the Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition Kickoff today on the WashU campus. The posters came up couple of days ago, and I'd already heard Mr. Baron speak in one of my classes last year (I think he's friends with my friend Jodie also), so I went for the heck of it.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It's really exciting to hear him speak, because he's this old guy with a funny voice (funny in a good way) that talks non-stop for an hour and a half about building housing and financing them so that it becomes a successful, mixed-income housing development in the most blighted areas of the country. He has pretty awesome jokes and anecdotes as well.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Some things he deems important are:</span><ul style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);"><li>forest people, not tree people (collaboration and diversity in thinking is key)</li><li>that it's easy(ier) to start something up because everyone's excited; you have to have your finances figured out before you start so it doesn't crash right after the first year</li><li>that people can live in the same community because they have the same values, not incomes</li><li>building for people means you gotta be able to listen to them</li></ul><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">I particularly like the last two. His projects are all very interesting, and the way they carry out the long-term aspect of housing developments is innovative and gutsy. It feels good to see young and old people react to his work in an energetic way; I'm Wall-E getting a boost from the Sun.</span><br /><a style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.mccormackbaron.com/HTML/images/employee/RBaron133.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.mccormackbaron.com/HTML/images/employee/RBaron133.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Yay!</span>Hitomi Inouehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09072720824339276808noreply@blogger.com0
