Hi there! 👋 Hi there!

New user here. From the midwest(close to MPLS). In Grad school, attemting a MURP.

What about me you ask? well, lesse. To say that I lean to the left politically is an understatement, I hate Wall Mart, despise cars, sprawl makes me sick, but moderated growth is good. Things I like are: cycling(mountain, road, whatever), modern design that's attainable to the masses, Green power(well, duh! we can get power form the wind!), third parties, parties in general, dogs, frisbee golf, and my wife.

any other questions?

Double Yo!

Welcome! I'm somewhat left-leaning too. I like modernist design (Charter subscriber to uber-yuppie-modern Dwell, etc )

But one thing you said: modern design for the "masses." The "masses" want Colonial revival (out here: Spanish-mediterranean) and ranchers. And, lots and lots of garage space. Affordable modernism for the "masses" is quite an ambitous goal.

Great! So it's still everyone vs Prudence .

I think this board should pick the next president.

Great another one of these environmental nuts.

Can't be all that bad I guess?

Things I like are: Green power(well, duh! we can get power form the wind!)

Hi! My whole country is supposedly having a power crisis at the moment (our lake levels are too low - a lot of our power is hydro-electric) and we are being bombarded by advertising asking us to 'save 10%'. One of the main power companies has just announced it's going to build another 'wind farm' to boost supply, which I'm all in favour of.

 

[Jessie-J]

You sound like fun.

Welcome!

 

[Chet]

Hooray. The bloodless midwest cyburbia coup gains another registered user.

Welcome. Have some cheese.

 

[nerudite]

Welcome to the boards.

Welcome!

Now how come your wife is listed last, hmm? And what's frisbee golf? Must be another one of those "XTREME" sports.

 

[donk]

welcome aboard, we'll have to start a cyburbia.org cycling team soon.

 

[mendelman]

GO!!! cycburbia.org cycling! Beat the pants off that Neil Armstrong cycling freak. We will win the French Open!

Haaaa! The sun is rising I must head for the cave.

Yo...

Neil Armstrong landed on the moon...Lance Armstrong rides the bike....

....and the French Open is tennis!

Last as in "last, but certainly not least". Not last as in "oh, by the way"! Actually, she probably should be first on the list....she is my best friend afterall.

frisbee golf? Ummm, I call it golf for those who can't afford the real thing. No private clubs, discs cost $10 to $20 and all you need are three really. Not 12 to 14 $300 clubs. That and the courses are always PUBLIC parks, and not fertilized/painted to death(I don't like normal golf much)

Thanks for the welcome folks, this looks like a nice forum to be a part of.


Go Neil! errr, Lance!

 

[NHPlanner]

Condsider myself a "real planning geek" cause I do it for a hobby.
