urban planning, architecture, and third spaces

like a third of women I’m close to dream of opening beautiful bookstore/cafes but have no concrete plans. american cities have too few inspiring spaces, and tokyo proves you can’t have too many beautiful cafes. how can the cafe dream to reality pipeline be easier

I continue to believe one of the biggest issues in our built environments is failing to use enough passive heating and cooling mechanisms. Failing to use enough passive components generally! Stuff in motion is stuff that breaks and costs energy to run.
