    This new LA Cyburbian!

    Hello all!

    I am a recent grad from the UCLA's Planning minor. My goal is to get my MURP with a focus in transportation planning & a J.D. degree concentrated on Urban, Land Use and Environmental Law. As a child, I grew up in the small city Hong Kong (where the "living cubicles" are) where public transportation reaches most places we could imagine. I have a dream, that one day, I will be able to take various sustainable public transportation to travel across America, and meet people from all walks of life.

    For now, I am working with the Golden State Water Company to implement new projects while applying to various assistant planner positions in cities nearby my home! Any ideas where I should begin in my Planning career?

    Best,
    Van de Choi

    Thanks Hink! Just checked it out It's very informational but I seem to be in a different boat than most, so I might have to post a new question soon.

    Greetings from a northern California native transplanted to the Florida panhandle.
    A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.

    Hello, from Dallas, TX!
    "We do not need any other Tutankhamun's tomb with all its treasures. We need context. We need understanding. We need knowledge of historical events to tie them together. We don't know much. Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011
