Little Patch of Green Space
Resident Of Three Years Decries Neighborhood's Recent Gentrification
Reaganomics Finally Trickles Down To Area Man
Welcome to Saturbia
Are you the love child of Jane Jacobs and Sarah Silverman? Are you hoping to be reincarnated as a cross between Manuel Castells and Woody Allen? Do you dream of a planning and development book written by the Onion? Have you ever come close to doing stand-up at a zoning board meeting?
Then perhaps this is the blog for you. Starting today, November third, two thousand seven, I am going to attempt to gather all that is funny about cities, urbanism, planning and development in one place. So please, send me your satire, your humor, your links to all that is witty about urbane planning and armchair urbanism. Don't make me write it all.
schafran at gmail.com. thank you, and goodnight.

My dear friends at Planetizen not only keep us informed, but their Friday Funny's, are, in fact, sometimes funny. The fact that they have a humor section is deserving of a prize.
Some gems:
The Music Of Failed Planning
A Taco Stand in Every Neighborhood

Haha, I worked a block away from there, and lived in the next neighborhood, I'm sure the neighborhood was scandalized... if it wasn't zoning, they would have found another way Pickthorne broke the law.
