I was sorry to be out of town and miss the NYC mayoral debate until I read this. An oddly dispiriting election at an undeniably important moment for the city.

If you are one of the many people who wanted to read Gradual but found the weight and heft of the hardback too much to handle, I’ve got good news: the paperback has arrived! a.co/d/0C5ptk2

Incrementalism, getcher incrementalism!

Helpful breakdown of last night's mayoral debate from two of NYC's most insightful political analysts

As a writer, one of the joys and challenges of the golden age of commentary that we are currently living through is that I am constantly confronted with essays that express my ideas better than I can. This is one such piece.

New piece from Greg Berman, an important corrective in this age of negativity: Is New York City really broken? vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-ne…

Amen.

Lots of chatter in and around the NYC mayoral race about how broken NYC is. My two cents: vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-ne…

"New York is fundamentally a miracle, offering daily testimony to our ability to overcome the worst impulses of human nature and live together in something that reasonably approximates harmony."

Do you love New York City? Read this fine piece. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-ne…

Great piece by my friend and neighbor Greg Berman

“Far from being broken, New York is fundamentally a miracle, offering daily testimony to our ability to overcome the worst impulses of human nature and live together in something that reasonably approximates harmony.”

"Far from being broken, New York is fundamentally a miracle...Our online narratives need to better reflect this reality. This is important not just for our collective mental health but for our ability to address the challenges that continue to plague our city."

Beautiful. “-millions of people speaking dozens of different languages and pursuing disparate (and often conflicting) goals manage to live and work and commute together cheek by jowl…New York is fundamentally a miracle”

I love my city so much. "Far from being broken, New York is fundamentally a miracle." vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-ne…

Another must read for anyone who cares about the nonprofit sector from Daniel Stid

Incrementalism alert! Aubrey Fox and I tried to make a similar case in Gradual.

Who watches the watchmen? Vital City that’s who! We convened an expert panel to weigh in on The New York Times unusual approach to making an endorsement in the NYC mayors race this year.

This year instead of making a NYC mayoral endorsement, the New York Times convened an expert panel to assess the candidates. So Vital City decided to convene an expert panel to weigh in on the Times. The results are here: vitalcitynyc.org/articles/our-a…
