Holiday Cheer

Hello Everyone:

I'd like to wish all of you a happy and healthy holiday.  Over the past year, we've had a chance to contemplate twenty-first century urban life.  It is a rich subject that will, no doubt, keep us talking for a long time.  As we celebrate (or not) the winter holidays, we need to stop for minute and consider the place we choose to live.  What makes it unique?  Why do we live where we do?  How does it meet our needs?  Every place is unique and where we live,my choice or by circumstance, some how reflects who we are as people.  Wee should also consider the people who populate the places we live.  They are a reflection of ourselves, be it a hedge fund executive or the homeless person.  These individuals are a vital part of our urban experience.  They help make each place unique.  There is no one model for what a place should be.  To force a template onto every place is a asking for trouble.  I hope you'll all enjoy your time with your loved ones and try to stay sane.  My holiday wish for all of you is good health, your lives be shared with people who love you unconditionally, good times, good cheer, and all your wishes come true.  I'll be back in a day or two.  In the meantime, be well.

XO
