Stop, drop and roll

I dunno... maybe silly-ass bans, mealy-mouthed platitudes and a bunch of new basketball courts just ain't gonna be enough...

It seems that a week in Toronto is no longer complete without that criminal act which appears to define the word ‘senseless’ as we understand it: the mundane day at the store or walk to the subway punctuated by the violence of strangers.

However well-connected and well-designed, when low-income housing becomes a permanent, demoralizing stop we know we’ve reached the limits of the design principle. While we might be able to correct our physical flaws, the workings of our society remain a tangled ball of theories and suppositions.

Aint't that the truth.
